Rate My Professor Emily Lette

A key achievement in her career is being the first researcher to successfully induce mating of Western Australia's critically endangered hairy marron (Cherax tenuimanus) in an aquarium setting during her master's research in 2018, advancing conservation and aquaculture prospects for this species. Her publications highlight innovative applications of metabolomics in crayfish research. In 2021, she co-authored 'Detecting sex-related changes to the metabolome of a critically endangered freshwater crayfish during the mating season' in Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, investigating metabolic variations in Cherax tenuimanus. In 2020, 'Metabolomic Profiling of Crayfish Haemolymph Distinguishes Sister Species and Sex: Implications for Conservation, Aquaculture and Physiological Studies' was published in Freshwater Crayfish volume 25, demonstrating haemolymph profiling for species and sex differentiation. Another 2020 publication, 'Modernising conservation through technology: a metabolomic investigation of a critically endangered freshwater crayfish,' explores technological tools for endangered species management. Lette has contributed to additional works, including studies on prey handling by ghost crabs and waterfowl grazing effects on wetlands, reflecting her impact on aquatic ecology and biodiversity conservation.
