Alex Funk, a PhD candidate at Macquarie University, is developing a CRISPR-based gene knockout method to control invasive cane toads in Australia by exploiting their cannibalistic tadpole behavior. His research combines herpetology, invasion biology, and conservation, building on his previous work studying feral pig impacts on salamanders.
Colton Perna's PhD research explores how river flows and flooding shape freshwater fish communities in tropical rivers, using fatty acids to track how hydrology influences food webs and nutritional pathways. His findings highlight the critical importance of river flow and floodplain connectivity in sustaining productive aquatic ecosystems.
Gathering timely data is the first step to rebuilding a community’s resilience after natural disasters, and a new workshop series in March will put power in the hands of the people to build evidence-backed and tailor-made solutions.
