Overview

Euan S. Harvey is affiliated with Curtin University in Australia and specializes in environmental science with an emphasis on ecological and marine studies. Their research encompasses a broad range of topics within the field, focusing predominantly on coral and marine ecosystems, marine and fisheries research, and ichthyology.

The scientist's recent work includes publications on marine biodiversity assessment and monitoring using environmental DNA (eDNA), as well as field techniques for underwater surveys. Notable papers include:

  • Global status and conservation potential of reef sharks (2020, Nature)
  • eDNA metabarcoding survey reveals fine-scale coral reef community variation across a remote, tropical island ecosystem (2020, Molecular Ecology)
  • A field and video annotation guide for baited remote underwater stereo-video surveys of demersal fish assemblages (2020, Methods in Ecology and Evolution)
  • Large-scale eDNA metabarcoding survey reveals marine biogeographic break and transitions over tropical north-western Australia (2021, Diversity and Distributions)
  • Development and evaluation of fish eDNA metabarcoding assays facilitate the detection of cryptic seahorse taxa (family: Syngnathidae) (2020, Environmental DNA)

Their frequent collaborators include Benjamin J. Saunders, Stephen J. Newman, Michael J. Marnane, Jordan S. Goetze, and Travis S. Elsdon. These partnerships reflect a sustained effort in marine ecological research and fisheries science.

Publications regularly appear in venues that focus on marine and coastal environments, including:

  • Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science
  • Marine Environmental Research
  • SSRN Electronic Journal
  • Marine Ecology Progress Series
  • Frontiers in Marine Science

Their academic contributions predominantly address subfields such as ecology, global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, ocean engineering, and oceanography. Key research topics encompass coral and marine ecosystems studies, marine and fisheries research, ichthyology and marine biology, fish ecology and management studies, marine animal studies, environmental DNA in biodiversity studies, and marine and offshore engineering studies.
