- Description
- Student: Erin BokMy PhD project will investigate what drives variation in food availability and quality for one of Australias most endangered birds, the forty-spotted pardalote (Pardalotus quadragintus). The Forty-spotted Pardalote is dependent on Eucalyptus viminalis (manna gum), for habitat and as critical food source. E. viminalis produces manna, a sugary exudate, that is fed on by adult pardalotes and contributes ~80% of nestling pardalote diet. The pardalote is the only bird species known to farm manna and shows preferences for specific stands and individual E. viminalis trees that relate directly to manna quality (sucrose:raffinose ratio). Specifically, pardalotes prefer E. viminalis with a higher sucrose to raffinose ratio. This suggests that variation in manna quality may be a crucial factor that mediates pardalote success and ultimately their distribution. Results from this study will inform pardalote breeding programs and ongoing conservations efforts and provide information to benefit the conservation of Australias iconic birdlife. All animal ethical requirements will be met.

- Description
- This project aims to develop a tool to generate guidelines for the site-specific translocation of seed used for forest regeneration. Seed translocation is an increasingly important topic as seed from local areas may not be adapted to future climates and therefore may suffer from reduced productivity and health in the future. The use of seed from non-local areas may mitigate some of these negative factors. However, to identify where to source seed is a complex task This study will use genetic sequencing and climate modelling to predict seed source locations which will be adapted to future climates for a given revegetation site. We will focus on Eucalyptus obliqua, a key species in the Tasmanian native timber industry for which ensuring future productivity and health is a key concern.

- Description
- The proposed project will use an innovative semi-autonomous UAV flown below the canopy of a plantation forest, photogrammetry and LiDAR point-clouds will be captured to accurately assess key tree form traits. The field-site will be a long-term E. nitens breeding trial established by STT. The aim is to (i) compare the measurements of key tree form traits derived by the UAV through optical (sparse point clouds) and laser (dense point clouds) sensors, (ii) optimise the flight plan at the individual tree-level and plot-level by comparing vertical flights as opposed to spiralling flights whilst testing obstacle avoidance algorithms, and (iii) validate the speed and accuracy of measurements and data processing of key tree form traits derived by the UAV against on-ground measurements of the same traits.
