Abstract
Olivia Rowley developed the concept of a 'Logistically Difficult Species' and demonstrated the importance of this concept by applying it to the Irukandji and Australian box jellyfish. This research, has led to the improvement of ecological understand and management approaches for these medically important marine species.
