We have received funding from WIRES to help support PhD candidate Angela Russell’s project “The marsupial gut Microbiome: improving release outcomes by supporting the development of host-associated gut microbial diversity”
Congratulations to Melissa Walker (Honours 2016) on publication of her honours research
Fig. 1. Mean metabolic rates (VO2 mL g–1 h–1) for Chalinolobus gouldii (n = 58), for RMR (before the vertical dashed line) and PMR at measured time periods (after the vertical dashed line). Data are grouped across all individuals within each treatment: sham-fed bats, bats fed a 10% or a 20% meal size. Meals were provided at time ‘0’ as indicated by the vertical dashed line. For each boxplot, the box indicates the range between the first and third quartiles of the data, the whiskers extend up to 1.5 times the interquartile range, and outliers occur as points beyond those limits.
Congratulations to Alicia Dimovski on being awarded a scholarship and grant from the Net Zero Fund for her PhD research. Additionally we received a grant and postdoctoral funding to employ Steve “The dark side of energy efficient lighting: LED lights give wildlife the blues. Shifting spectral wavelengths to develop Wildlife Friendly lighting”
