Research Projects:
- The main project Bronwyn has been involved with so far is to determine the external and internal parasite communities present in a range of larval coral reef fish species. Following from this has been the investigation of the effects of gut parasites on the swimming ability of recruiting individuals using swim trials. She is also working on a long-term experiment involving the removal of cleaner fish from reefs on Lizard Island. Bronwyn is responsible for the day to day management of the Coral Reef Ecology Laboratory.
