Native invasives: determining which native animals translocated within Australia are most likely to expand their invasive ranges

Project description

This project will test whether species that have been translocated within Australia occupy different niche spaces to that experienced in their native range (i.e., are they able to expand their niche in invaded areas?). The project might also include a component looking at which Australian species have become invasive overseas, and test whether there are particular traits that make certain Australian species more likely to establish outside Australia. Co-supervisor: Dr John Llewelyn.

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.
