Funded Activity Summary

Evaporative water loss and relative water economy in marsupials. Marsupials are an iconic element of the Australian fauna, so the robust physiological database we will establish has intrinsic educational and scientific value to Australians. We will provide important methodological and analytical advances at the cutting edge of physiological research. This project will sustain our leading role as marsupial physiologists in the international scientific community, contribute to the high-quality training of research students, foster national and international collaboration, and generally enhance the scientific profile of Australia. Knowledge of a species' biology and its interactions with the environment are essential for conservation in the face of landscape modification and climate change.
