(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Alison Marion Cree is a New Zealand herpetologist. She is currently a professor at Otago University. Academic career Cree graduated from the University of Waikato in 1986 with a D.Phil. for her thesis titled "Water relations of the endemic New Zealand frogs Leiopelma archeyi, L. Hamiltoni and L. Hochstetteri". Prior to this she had attained a diploma on environmental pollution in Christchurch, through the University of Canterbury.
