Emily Jarvis
Emily is a second-year PhD candidate at the University of Newcastle. Her project focuses on two small macropod species, the Parma Wallaby and Red-legged Pademelon. This research aims to fill crucial knowledge gaps in the ecology of both species, such as their distribution and occupancy, spatial ecology, diet and habitat use.
Emily has a Bachelor of Science from Monash University and later completed an honours project on artificial refuge use of small mammals in the Yarra Ranges.

In 2022, she was fortunate enough to undertake an internship with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy at their Newhaven Sanctuary. During her time there, she assisted in the translocation of multiple threatened species, including the Bilby, Burrowing Bettong (Boodie) and Central Rock-rat.
Her past work experience also includes environmental education and ecological consultancy.
