We have an exciting opportunity for a masters or honours student to examine how fire influences the ecology of flying insects in the Otway Ranges. Flying insects (e.g. butterflies, moths, beetles, flies) are an important part of forest ecosystems. They contribute to ecosystem function through services such as pollination, provide a large food resource for vertebrate fauna, and are interesting in their own right. This project is part of a larger study examining fire impacts on fauna, with all fieldwork and project costs covered. If you are interested please contact Alan York. |
