FUNDED PROJECTS

  • GRANT
    Drivers of bird community structure on temperate land-bridge islands: a case study on a shifting strait
    Holsworth Wildlife Research Endowment1 Jan 2020 - 31 Dec 2021
    People funded by this grant:
    • Brook B,
    • Buettel J,
    • Fielding M
    Project Total: $6,725; Land-bridge islands are often overlooked in conservation research; however, these unique environments are home to some of Australia's most endangered avian fauna. The principal aim of this project is to understand how drivers, such as isolation, climate change and habitat modification, impact woodland bird communities on land bridge islands and resulted in the extinction and endangerment of these species. Funded by: Holsworth Wildlife Research Endowment - Grant ($6,725); University of Tasmania.
