Funded Activity Summary

Avian Recruitment: The Key to Maintaining Biodiversity. With increased global trade, the threat to native species from the spread of disease and parasites requires exploration. This is particularly relevant as we link fragmented habitats through vegetation corridors at a national level, thereby creating potential pathways for disease transmission and predator access. This study will contribute to Research Priority 4: Safeguarding Australia from invasive diseases and pests. It will do this by generating a detailed understanding of the link between nesting success, parasite transmission, and immune response in endemic Australian birds in geographically separate populations. The results will be used to inform the establishment of vegetation corridors in the proposed study sites in the next decade.
