We're recruiting for two funded PhDs exploring restoration in agricultural landscapes!
Project 1: Barriers & opportunities for restoration in coffee landscapes
(see below for details)
Project 2: Spatial optimisation of restoration for ecosystem services

Thermal drones are changing how we detect marine debris entanglements.
Monash PhD researcher Adam Yaney‑Keller, with Phillip Island Nature Parks, has shown that fur seal entanglements give off a clear heat signature visible from 50+ metres in the air.

Climate change could shrink global fish catches.
New Monash research published in Science shows fish may evolve to survive warmer oceans — but that evolution could actually reduce fisheries yields.

🌦️Tropical countries hold the most insect diversity — but the least monitoring data. Shawan Chowdhury discusses what this means for understanding insect change. Learn more on #InsideBiodiversity.

Why do insects migrate? One major driver is resource limitation. In the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui), we show how resource cues reshape gene expression across development.
