Kate Laura Sanders is a researcher at the University of Adelaide, specialising in the study of sea snakes. She received a PhD from Bangor University in 2003 and was an Australian Research Council Future Fellow (2013-2017).[1] Sanders has undertaken field work that has resulted in the identification of new species, including the sea snake Aipysurus mosaicus.[2]
Sanders has examined and published on the aquatic snakes of seas off the Western Australian and Indonesian coasts.[1][3] Recent work has included new discoveries on the evolution of sea snake vision,[4] cutaneous respiration in the forehead of some sea snakes,[5] the presence of light sensors in the tails of some sea snakes [6] and a description of the squamate clitoris[7] (a hitherto under explored subject).
Sanders's work includes an appointment as co-chair of the IUCN/SSC Sea Snake Specialist Group.[1]
