Dr Geoffrey Smith has researched Australian wildlife for some 45 years and published some 60 scientific works on mammals, birds, reptiles and crayfish. He is employed as a zoologist at the Queensland Herbarium, where he has studied interrelationships between plants and animals, such as how flying foxes move in response to flowering plants.
