Research Interests

I'm interested to study the impact that removal of willows and/or subsequent revegetation has on aquatic invertebrate communities in two freshwater streams in Mt Lofty Ranges, SA. Specifically, my research questions were: (1) Are willows having an impact on aquatic invertebrate diversity? (2) What happens to the invertebrate communities when willows have been removed? (3) Are there any differences in species richness and abundance between willows present, willows removed, revegetation and original vegetation sites? (4) Does the removal of willows affect invertebrate communities? Therefore, I want to come up with a reliable measure of the health of these aquatic ecosystems by using invertebrates as bioindicators.

Research Funding

I received a grant from Nature Conservation Biology of South Australia (NCSSA) and already presented final grant report in their annual general meeting on 8^th of May 2008.

I also have published an article for the NCSSA newsletter – Azmi, W.A. Willows (Salix spp.) and their impact on aquatic invertebrate communities. Xanthopus: 26(2): 8-10.
