Scott Carver
 | Scott Carver is an Associate Professor in Wildlife Ecology at the
University of Tasmania. He has spent much of last decade working to
improve understanding of the biology of Bare-nosed Wombats, with a
particular focus on the impacts and management of sarcoptic
mange disease. He has been fortunate to have a fantastic lab of
talented graduate students and colleagues to support this focus. Scott
strives to work with many stakeholders and undertake research that
translates to support policy, regulations, education,
management,
on ground applications, and care of wombats and other wildlife.
While Scott's lab has had a particular focus on wombats, they have also
worked on a wide range of other issues including: the health of Koalas,
penguins, possums, Tasmanian Devils, and other species; vector ecology
and mosquito-borne disease issues; pathogen
transmission in wild and domestic cats in the US; advancing the
practice of managing wildlife diseases in nature; and more fundamental
research on wildlife biology, physiology, genetics and ecology.
In 2024 Scott is commencing a new academic position at the University of
Georgia (USA) where he will continue his research focussed on wildlife
health and conservation, including maintaining a level of research on
wombats. |
