**About the Editor**

**Edward Narayan** (Senior Lecturer in Animal Science). Dr. Edward Narayan graduated with Ph.D. degree in Biology from the University of the South Pacific and pioneered non-invasive reproductive and stress endocrinology tools for amphibians—the novel development and validation of non-invasive enzyme immunoassays for the evaluation of reproductive hormonal cycle and stress hormone responses to environmental stressors. Dr. Narayan leads the Stress Lab (Comparative Physiology and Endocrinology) in the School of Agriculture and Food Sciences (SAFS) at the University of Queensland, a dynamic career research platform that is based on the thematic areas of comparative vertebrate physiology, stress endocrinology, reproductive endocrinology, animal health and welfare, and conservation biology. Edward has supervised 50 research students and published over 70 peer-reviewed scientific research articles.
