Research Project Title
Fragmentation and the conservation of freshwater fishes in Southern Australia
Description
Habitat fragmentation is universally recognized as a process threatening biodiversity, although it is little recognized in freshwater environments. This project seeks to invoke the concepts of conservation biology to analyse declines in freshwater organisms, particularly of fish through the melding of molecular and ecological data gathered for freshwater systems of southern Australia. This will form a combined analysis for a mixture of `common` and `threatened` taxa with varying intrinsic characteristics relating to dispersal ability to identify congruent spatial patterns of species and their genetic structure.
