Catherine Price

Dr Catherine Price is a researcher at The University of Sydney, affiliated with the BIO department. Her work focuses on behavioural ecology, animal behaviour, biosecurity science, and invasive species ecology, among other areas. She investigates how mammalian predators use sensory information to locate food and explores strategies to protect threatened birds from predators using misinformation. Dr Price employs large-scale field experiments and collaborates with experts in various fields. She has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Sydney and has been involved in research projects funded by the Australian Research Council. She is currently a Senior Lecturer at the School of Life & Environmental Sciences, University of Sydney.

Catherine J Price is an ARC Discovery Early Career Fellow and Lecturer at the University of Sydney, specializing in conservation behaviour, foraging, predator-prey interactions, plant-herb, and sensory ecology. Her research explores how animal behaviour can inform conservation strategies, focusing on the role of sensory cues in predator-prey dynamics and the impact of olfactory signals on wildlife management. Price's work includes examining the efficacy of anti-predator training, leveraging olfactory learning for pest control, and using AI to enhance evidence synthesis in conservation. Her studies highlight the importance of understanding animal decision-making in ecological contexts to improve conservation outcomes.
