Biology of fragmented populations; Conservation planning; Conservation and restoration ecology; and Biodiversity and systematics
Genetics, ecology, behaviour and breeding biology of species of special management concern. Determination of biodiversity resources, their conservation value and the development of procedures for maximising regional conservation gains in the face of competing forms of land-use (conservation planning). Patterns of community development, the assessment of the response of communities to disturbances and the evaluation of ecological restoration as a conservation tool. Research on the biogeography, systematics and phylogeny of insect, amphibian and mammalian taxa Research Output
