Biography

Katherine Moseby is a wildlife ecologist and conservation biologist with a profound passion for conserving desert ecosystems. Her research interests encompass rewilding, mammal behaviour, threatened species management, and predator/prey interactions. Katherine aims to improve the plight of threatened species by conducting applied research that translates into effective conservation management practices. She studies a variety of species, including bilbies, quolls, bandicoots, bettongs, numbats, malleefowl, woma pythons, phascogales, and stick-nest rats. Her research primarily focuses on large-scale field experiments designed to enhance adaptive management and translocation success. Katherine has a special interest in creating conservation partnerships that combine research with ground outcomes, having been involved with initiatives such as Arid Recovery, Tetepare Island, and the Wild Deserts Middleback Alliance. She is actively supervising students who wish to conduct field experiments in arid and semi-arid regions to contribute to improved conservation outcomes in these habitats.
