About Adrian
Adrian Gleiss is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Environmental and Conservation Sciences at Murdoch University. He serves as Theme Leader for Marine Megafauna within the Harry Butler Institute. Gleiss earned his PhD in Marine Biology from Swansea University. His research expertise encompasses physiological ecology, behavioural ecology, biologging, marine megafauna, and biotelemetry. As a physiological and behavioural ecologist, he explores the roles of behavioural and physiological traits in marine predators, including sharks, rays, turtles, and whale sharks. His work contributes to understanding movement ecology, energetics, and conservation of threatened marine species.
Gleiss has authored over 100 publications, accumulating more than 5,400 citations. Key publications include 'Free-diving sharks' in Science (2023, co-authored with Mark Meekan and others), which examined deep-diving capabilities in sharks, and a 2024 article in Fisheries Research (with Karissa Lear, Frazer McGregor, Taylor Chapple, and Mark Meekan) on shark behaviour. Additional contributions feature studies on oceanic whitetip sharks' responses to ocean warming, tiger shark tailbeat tracking, and personality traits in fish. He supervises doctoral research on white shark ecology, flatback turtle nesting, and sawfish tracking using satellite technology. Gleiss has presented public lectures, such as his TEDxKings Park talk 'How whale sharks swim like songbirds fly.' His projects include collaborations on First Nations involvement in resource management and protection of marine creatures through the Harry Butler Institute. Gleiss's research informs global conservation strategies for marine megafauna.
