About Ross A. Alford

Ross A. Alford, With an exceptional h-index of 66 and a recent h-index of 38 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at James Cook University, specializes in the field of Ecology, Animal Behavior, Conservation Biology, Disease Ecology, Herpetology.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Sex-based divergence in tidal, lunar and seasonal cycles of activity in the olive sea snake, Aipysurus laevis (Elapidae, Hydrophiinae)

Constant-temperature predictions underestimate growth of a fungal amphibian pathogen under individual host thermal profiles

The interplay of fungal and bacterial microbiomes on rainforest frogs following a disease outbreak

Increased rates of dispersal of free-ranging cane toads (Rhinella marina) during their global invasion

Predicting the growth of the amphibian chytrid fungus in varying temperature environments

Mistaken identity may explain why male sea snakes (Aipysurus laevis, Elapidae, Hydrophiinae)“attack” scuba divers

Infection dynamics, dispersal, and adaptation: understanding the lack of recovery in a remnant frog population following a disease outbreak

Status and priority conservation actions for Australian frog species
