Funded Activity Summary

Coping with forest fires: is mammalian torpor a crucial survival strategy? Forest fires result in habitat degradation and can kill native mammals. Currently little is known about the behaviour of individual mammals during and after fires. This project will generate the first quantitative information worldwide about behavioural and physiological responses of small mammals to fire, and test whether use of torpor increases survival.
