We welcome the new ‘WildCountry/Gondwana Link Conservation Science Council Co-ordinator’, Simon Judd into the program. Simon has just completed a PhD on the biogeography of south west Isopods (native slaters), which had a key focus on the bio-geographical relationships between wet country and dry country species, particularly those with an ancient (Gondwanan) lineage. Simon has a rich understanding of the ecological processes across the south-west, and always finds time to look under the odd rock. Here he is turning up another Gondwanan invertebrate, cousin to the one pictured, on Bush Heritage’s Monjebup block.
