Author Biography
Tony Clarke completed his PhD in entomology from The University of Queensland in 1992. After graduating, he spent 10 years as a research fellow working on insect ecology at the University of Tasmania, The University of Queensland and Griffith University. At Griffith University (1999-2001) he worked on fruit flies for the first time, under the mentorship of Prof R.A.I. Drew. In 2002 he took up a tenured position as a lecturer in ecology with the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, where he now holds the title of Professor and Chair of Fruit Fly Biology and Management. Most of his research has focused on the science underpinning sustainable insect pest management, with an emphasis on forestry and horticultural systems. His exclusive research focus for the last ten years has been on tropical fruit flies of the genus Bactrocera, which are the primary horticultural insect pests of Asia, Australia and the Pacific, and increasingly of Africa following the 2003 invasion b
