Mr Tom Bruce

I am a wildlife biologist interested in how species respond to a changing world. My main research interests involve utilising a range of methods such as line transects and camera-trapping to understand how species populations change through time, across disturbance gradients, and how species interact. Personal highlights from my career include understanding African forest elephant and great ape population changes through time in Cameroon and how feral cats and dingoes interact in Austral tropical rainforest. Currently I am a Postdoc at the Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science where I have cofounded and helped build the Wildlife Observatory of Australia (WildObs). To understand critical issues around wildlife using robust datasets and cutting-edge analyses. The WildObs approach to collaboration and data-sharing will enable continental-scale wildlife modelling.this will deliver. We are currently examining whether and how dingoes influence fox and cat populations, and whether this varies across Australia's diverse ecosystems
