Terrestrial Mammal Conservation

解决全球生物多样性危机需要有效的监测，以指导大空间尺度的保护决策。鉴于陆生哺乳动物的生态和社会经济重要性、广泛的种群以及对人类干扰的敏感性，陆生哺乳动物是一个关键的管理目标。我的CRC项目将改进监测陆生哺乳动物的方法，并促进对它们对环境影响的反应的理解。我的实验室将：(1)建立一个摄像机陷阱网络，以开发、协调和共享收集和分析哺乳动物数据的可靠方法；(2)利用景观实验对哺乳动物种群和群落的调节、脆弱性以及管理措施的有效性进行假设检验。

Addressing the global biodiversity crisis requires effective monitoring to guide conservation decisions across large spatial scales. Terrestrial mammals are a key management target given their ecological and socioeconomic importance, wide-ranging populations, and sensitivity to human disturbances. My CRC program will improve methods for monitoring terrestrial mammals and advance understanding of their responses to environmental impacts. My lab will: (1) establish a camera trap network to develop, coordinate, and share robust methods for collecting and analysing mammal data; and (2) use landscape experiments to test hypotheses about the regulation and vulnerability of mammal populations and communities, and the effectiveness of management actions.
