James Dorey is a Lecturer in Biological Sciences at the University of Wollongong. He completed a Bachelor of Science at the University of Queensland in 2015, followed by a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in 2017 and a PhD in 2022, both at Flinders University. His research focuses on the evolutionary biology, phylogenetics, island biogeography, ecology, and zoology of wild bees, with fieldwork in Australia, Fiji, and on a global scale. He has led studies on global bee species richness and taxonomic gaps, including a 2026 publication in Nature Communications estimating thousands of undescribed bee species worldwide, as well as research on bacterial symbionts such as Wolbachia in Fijian bees.
Dorey is the author of the book Bees of Australia: A Photographic Exploration, published by CSIRO Publishing, which combines scientific information with macro photography of Australian native bees. He also works as a professional macro photographer, integrating his imaging expertise with his academic and teaching activities in biological sciences.
University of Wollongong's new study estimates 24,705–26,164 global bee species, highlighting taxonomic gaps and conservation urgency. Explore implications for Australia.
