Biography

Cameron Dodd is a PhD candidate at the University of Western Australia with a focus on the evolution of the carnivorous marsupial family Dasyuridae. His research aims to identify cryptic dasyurid species in Australia and understand the impact of aridification on the genetic and morphological diversity of this group over the past 15 million years. Dodd's work centers on the kultarr (Antechinomys laniger), an arid-zone dasyurid known for its considerable diversity and distribution. He contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals through his academic efforts in molecular ecology and population genetics, particularly in addressing conservation challenges. He holds an MPhil in Population Genetics and Microbiome from the University of Sydney and a BSc (Hons) in Molecular Evolution from the University of Bath.
