Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation

Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation addresses the urgent challenges of biodiversity loss and environmental change through research spanning species, populations, ecosystems and landscapes. The theme includes strengths in conservation biology, restoration ecology, animal behaviour, migration ecology, disease ecology, freshwater ecosystems, insect ecology and ecosystem monitoring. Researchers investigate topics such as bird migration and navigation, parasite biodiversity, insect population change, pollinator health, habitat restoration, river systems and species conservation. Using field studies, ecological modelling, remote sensing, genomics and emerging technologies such as ecoacoustics, the theme generates evidence that informs conservation policy, biodiversity management and the sustainable stewardship of natural environments.
