Research Overview
Our research revolves around studying animal responses to challenges from their environments and from human activity to understand how they deal with different these stressors. Most of the work is on marine animals including sharks, rays, penguins and turtles, but we have also studied frogs, crocodiles, lizards and small marsupials. The purpose of this research is to apply our improved knowledge to the conservation and management of affected species and ecosystems. Research includes:
- Reproductive biology and ecology of sea turtles and penguins
- Marine conservation biology
- Effects of secondary salinisation on physiology and ecology of native frogs
- Interactions between sharks and commercial fisheries
