My research group studies animal performance in the laboratory and in the field. We focus on discovering the underlying mechanistic basis of physical performance and it's implications for an individual's survival and reproductive success. We’re particularly interested in how organisms respond to e …
Our lab aims to test fundamental hypotheses in genetics and evolutionary biology. Principally, we are interested the relationship between genotypic and phenotypic change during adaptive evolution. This line of inquiry requires an understanding of both the type of selection acting on traits as they e …

Dr Descovich is an animal scientist working at the interface between welfare, behaviour, management and zoology. She is currently a Research Fellow in UQ’s School of Veterinary Science working within the Animal Welfare Standards Project, a large international collaboration between Australia and Ch …
Animal welfare science is the systematic assessment of an animal’s quality of life across domains such as health, behaviour, and mental states. Animal welfare is an important societal concern and a component of socio-cultural sustainability, one of four, interconnected “pillars of sustainability …
My research interests are in coral reef ecology and marine parasitology.
I also incorporate other fields in my research including evolutionary biology, molecular biology, parasitology, and animal behaviour. I use field observations to generate hypotheses which are tested using field and laboratory …

Conservation, biology and ecology of large marine vertebrates
Current research interests:
I grew up on the Devon coast hunting among the fucoids for crabs and shrimp. I undertook research while at school on the diet of blennies. At university in Swansea, south Wales, and as a marine Biology student I investigated informally the behaviour of intertidal pool dwelling organisms andmore form …
Insect host-pathogen interactions
In the evolutionary arm race between insects and their pathogens, insects as hosts continuously evolve traits to inhibit pathogen replication, and in turn pathogens evolve mechanisms to evade their hosts’ immune responses. In the Asgari Lab, we are interested in …
