Overview of thesis

My PhD research projects overall aim is to investigate the impacts of fire management on threatened mammals in south-western Australia. The broad goal is to fill knowledge gaps that could provide insight into optimal fire return intervals and fire mosaic patterns that support population persistence in areas of core habitat for threatened species. This project is part of a strategic collaboration between ECU and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).
