Funded Activity Summary

Cool mammals: responding to thermal and energetic challenges in the Australian tropics. A detailed understanding of thermal biology and energy use of mammals is essential for predicting how they will respond to climate change. As little is known about the functional and behavioural traits of Australian tropical mammals, the proposed work investigating the thermal energetics and foraging biology of eleven native species will result in a significant advancement in knowledge. This information will provide wildlife managers with an additional tool for making sound science-based decisions for the conservation of wildlife now and in the future. The project will train students, improve international collaboration, and substantially enhance the international scientific standing of Australia.
