Project Title:
Plant and fungal systematics, evolution and ecology.

Project Details:

Despite Australia's rich and unique plant and fungal diversity, many groups remain understudied and some species are threatened due to various factors.

Documenting species and understanding their ecology and evolution is critical to decelerate biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation.

Here, cutting edge methods including genomics and AIML will be used to contribute new knowledge and understanding on Australian plants and fungi.


Desirable topics for the project are:

  • Ecology and coevolution of obligate pollination,
  • Climate change impacts on alpine plantpollinator communities,
  • Molecular taxonomy of Australian entomopathogenic fungi,
  • Taxonomy and conservation of orchids on Norfolk Island,
  • Impacts of fire and myrtle rust on Australian epiphytic orchids,
  • Phylogenomics, taxonomy, evolution and biogeography of Asteraceae (daisy family).

Location:
Canberra, ACT
