He was among the first to utilise indigenous knowledge in studying the ecology of Australia's mammal fauna, in particular in his studies of the abundance, distribution, habitat preference and reproductive response to environmental conditions of Red Kangaroos. In his earlier studies of mouse plagues he developed models of eruptive dynamics that underpinned most subsequent work on such plagues and their effect on agriculture. His 10-year study of dingoes resulted in greater understanding of the predator/prey relationship in the Australian outback and the broader impacts on pastoralism of introduced predators such as foxes and cats. 1957 1957 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), University of Queensland 1963 1963 Education - Master of Science (MSc), University of Adelaide 1966 2000 Career position - Scientist, CSIRO Division of Wildlife Research 1967 1967 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Adelaide 1981 1982 Career position - Acting Chief of Division of Wildlife Research 1983 1983 Award - Doctor of Science (DSc), University of Adelaide 2000 2000 Life event - Retired CSIRO Division of Wildlife Research, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (1962 - 1982) 1981 1982
