My identify is Kaya Klop-Toker, I’m a conservation biologist specializing in inhabitants ecology and adaptive administration of threatened amphibians. I’m notably excited by understanding the customarily multi-faceted mechanisms behind amphibian decline, and the way we are able to use this data to develop profitable conservation outcomes. In 2017, I accomplished my PhD on the College of Newcastle, Australia, on a mission investigating the impression of illness and invasive fish on a wild and captive-bred-and-released inhabitants of inexperienced and golden bell frogs (Litoria aurea). I then started a post-doc researching the impression of underground coal mining on the Endangered Littlejohn’s tree frog (Litoria littlejohni), adopted by one other mission establishing a captive breeding and habitat creation mission for this threatened species. I’ve lately returned to working with Littlejohn’s tree frogs after taking a while for maternity go away, and am now implementing conservations actions inside the coal mining space. I’m wanting ahead to contributing as a topic editor for Wildlife Biology and supporting the publication of herpetological analysis.
