Dr François Brassard

“The Northern Territory has one of the highest richness of ants in the world.” Originally from Canada, François completed a Master of Science in Montreal on ant biogeography before spending two years at the University of Hong Kong researching the ant biodiversity of Macau SAR. He then undertook a PhD at Charles Darwin University investigating the effects of fire and rainfall on the ants of Northern Australia. He is also a keen photographer, often taking a camera on field trips to record and showcase the strange and beautiful smaller critters that inhabit our world. More of François’ photography can be found on his website: https://francoisbrassard.smugmug.com The Ecological Society of Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. François lives and works on Larrakia and Kungarakany land.
