Project description
This project will compare the traits space of varanid and mammal prey in Australia and on other continents (based on a detailed varanid diet database for Australia). In addition to existing trait databases, the student will collect more diet and trait data before running trait-space analyses. Co-supervisor: Professor Corey Bradshaw

Supervisors research focus
I am an ecologist and environmental modeller who develops mathematical approaches to predict ecosystem function, resilience, and change in the past, present, and future, with a focus on maintaining biodiversity. See the Global Ecology Laboratory website, my Google Scholar profile for a list of my publications, my Github code repository account, my Bluesky profile, and my blog ConservationBytes.com.
Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
