Adrian Wayne is an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow and Senior Research Scientist specializing in Forest Fauna Ecology. He has been a vital part of the Forest Ecology Research Team since 1997 at the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions in Western Australia. In 1994, he co-rediscovered the Gilbert’s potoroo, a species previously thought to be extinct. His research focuses on the ecology of forest vertebrate fauna, including frogs, reptiles, and mammals, and emphasizes conservation management for threatened and sensitive species. Adrian's work has involved investigating how fauna respond to timber harvesting and prescribed burning, particularly regarding common brush-tail possums and western ringtail possums in jarrah forests, as well as studying mammal decline concerning woylies and introduced predator management. In addition to his research, Adrian provides scientific and ecological expertise to biodiversity conservation management and supervises students in various courses and research projects. He is also actively engaged in media communications related to emergency incident management, specifically concerning wildfire suppression.
