Fire & Fragmentation Project: several projects available

Start dates are flexible, so please contact Julian any time if you are interested.

A key knowledge gap is how the characteristics of fragmented landscapes (e.g. patch size and isolation) interact with the characteristics of fire regimes (e.g. fire size, patchiness and spatial distribution) to influence animal conservation.  The broad objective of this project is to determine how both fragmentation and aspects of the fire regime influence the occurrence and movement potential of reptiles, mammals, birds and invertebrates.
 
We have project opportunities focused on each animal group. Data will be collected from sites previously established in western Victoria and eastern South Australia as part of the larger project. 
​

Fire, Landscape Pattern & Biodiversity: "Fire and the ecology of flying insects"

​Please contact Alan for further information.

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 extremely interesting in their own right.  This project will examine how fire affects the abundance and community composition of flying insects. Fieldwork will be conducted in the beautiful Otway Ranges and complements Sandra's project examining the impacts of fire on micro-bats.

Ecology is basically a political movement which protects the environment. To maintain environment by growing trees is very essential for human bodies. Here in this blog, fire ecology projects have been available and their detail is given above.

To learn about the Earth's biodiversity, one must understand its fundamental concepts. The world needs to undergo a series of rehabilitation to sustain our everyday needs. Planning several projects can help alleviate and resolve the problems about our shared ecology. Without the Earth, we would be nothing. It is our duty as citizens of society to care for our environment. Failure to comply will make us vulnerable to the natural dangers we've instigated. Mother nature can fight back without prior warning.
