The JMR is a unique, protected and restricted reserve that offers research capabilities. Not only is there 3Ha of bushland which includes a 0.2Ha lake that can be utilised for research purposes, but there are also a number of facilities within the reserve that are available to conduct research. These include the controlled temperature rooms located in the Environmental Laboratories, a dedicated outdoor aquatic mesocosm area and fully equipped greenhouses located at the Plant Sciences Complex.
Research projects conducted at the JMR include;
- Effects of hydroperiod on tadpole life history
- Impact of pharmaceutical pollutants on ecology and evolution of wildlife
- Invasion biology of fish and reptiles
- Behaviour and macroecology of reptiles
- Ecophysiology of tadpoles and frogs
- Plant-based research projects including genetic, conservational and ecological studies
The Jock Marshall Reserve is a restricted site. You must receive access permission and complete the relevant induction process before entering the reserve. Please contact the Jock Marshall Reserve manager for more information.
