Dr Heather Neilly

“Understanding how disturbance changes things within a system to me seemed a fundamental way to actually manage and restore landscapes more effectively.”

Dr Neilly is a postdoctoral researcher with the Australian Landscape Trust, based at Calperum Station in South Australia.

Her work focuses on how disturbances can alter the structure of vegetation and affect fauna. With colleagues, she is looking at how features such as spinifex grass perform as thermal refuges for small reptiles and mammals under a range of different fire and grazing treatments.

Dr Neilly’s outstanding work was awarded the 2021 Wiley Next Generation Ecologist Award.

The Ecological Society of Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. Dr Neilly works on the lands of the First Peoples of the River Murray and Mallee.
