Understand how environmental drivers affect the distribution of ecosystems along the world’s tropical mountain ranges. 

Supervisors: Dr. José R. Ferrer-Paris and Prof. David Keith

To unravel the complex dormancy mechanisms of Zieria, you’ll undertake a series of experiments using fire and seasonal temperature cues. Supervisor: Dr Mark Ooi

This project will be based on field assessment of plants and soil function, laboratory assessment and statistical analyses of plant community composition over the last decade. Supervisors: Prof. David Eldridge | Dr Samantha Travers

The aim of the project is to improve understanding of vegetation change in fragmented landscapes and the factors likely to promote persistence of local biodiversity. Supervisor: Prof David Keith

Use high-resolution movement data from African large carnivores to optimize occupancy and density estimates. Supervisor: Dr. Neil Jordan

Identify the relative importance of intensity and frequency of disturbance on biocrust communities. Supervisors: Prof. David Eldridge

Compare the spatial distribution of exotic (European olive) and native (Bursaria, acacia) shrubs. Supervisors: Prof. David Eldridge

Real-world experimental test of the impact of colonization history, environmental disturbance and competition on the formation of ecological communities. Supervisor: A/Prof. Terry Ord

Investigate the performance of new methods in molecular biodiversity, and maybe invent methods of your own. Supervisor: Em. Prof. Bill Sherwin

Use radiotelemetry and camera traps to determine bilby predation rates on macroinvertebrates. Supervisor: Dr Katherine Moseby, Dr Rebecca West, Prof Richard Kingsford

Collect GPS data from feral cats to examine interactions with cat control measures across the Wild Deserts project area. Supervisor: Dr Reece Pedler, Dr John Read, Dr Katherine Moseby, Dr Rebecca West, Prof Richard Kingsford

Be part of the regeneration of Fowlers Gap Arid Zone station.

Supervisor: A/Prof. Hedley Grantham and others

This is a desk-based study. You will conduct research on movement ecology and interspecific communication and competition. 

Supervisors: Dr Neil Jordan

The research project will initially apply a batch fermentation method with rumen fluids to further characterize planktonic and sessile microbiomes, with a focus on colonisation of activated carbon particles. 

Supervisors: Prof. Torsten Thomas, Dr. Tim Charlton

Conservation and restoration of ecological communities and ecosystems are fundamental for a nature positive future. 

Supervisors: Dr. José R. Ferrer-Paris and Prof. David Keith

This project will leverage newly available climate and geographic datasets to evaluate the potential threats to Antarctic ice-free ecosystems.

Supervisors: Dr. Anikó B. Tóth and Dr. José R. Ferrer-Paris 

This project will take a modelling approach to reassess the potential impact of kleptoparasitism on endangered African wild dogs.

Supervisor: Dr Neil Jordan

This is a field-based study where you will gain experience in experimental design and developing techniques to deter kangaroos and eutherian carnivores in a remote location.

Supervisors: Dr Neil Jordan, Dr Rebecca West, Dr Reece Pedler

Estimate feral horse population densities and social structure using extensive camera-trap grid and midden surveys.

Supervisors: Dr Neil Jordan, Amelia Jeffery, Dr Benjamin Pitcher

This study will determine whether supplemental nestboxes and constructed hollows successfully recruit target wildlife such as parrots and possums in our local urban setting.

Supervisor: A/Prof. Lisa Schwanz
