Research Opportunities

As The Ecology Centre, and most UQ academics, may not have a project ready to give you, funding will normally have to come from somewhere else.  Check out the one-stop Scholarships page on the UQ web site.

Ecology Centre Research Topics

Ecology (from Greek: οἶκος, "house"; -λογία, "study of") is the scientific study of the relation of living organisms to each other and their surroundings.[1] Ecology includes the study of plant and animal populations, plant and animal communities and ecosystems. Ecologists study a range of living phenomena from the role of bacteria in nutrient recycling to the effects of tropical rain forest on the Earth's atmosphere.

Researchers at The Ecology Centre specialise in a number of different research areas.  These research areas are listed below with a brief explanation of each area.  To see who works in any of these areas, click here: VIEW RESEARCHERS

Behavioural Ecology the study of animal behaviour
Conservation Ecology ecology in specific relation to conservation issues
Economic Ecology how economics affects and is effected by ecology issues
Invertebrate Ecology ecology specifically related to invertebrates (animals with out backbones: eg. insects, spiders,mollusks, echinoderms)
Landscape Ecology ecology across whole landscapes
Marine & Freshwater ecology ecology in relation to all aquatic environments
Mathematical Ecology the use of mathematics to understand ecological processes
Molecular Ecology the study of ecology at the molecular level only
Plant Ecology the study of ecology specifically relating to plants, excluding invertebrates and vertebrates.  Mainly terrestrial, rather than marine.
Restoration Ecology the study of restoring ecosystems
Vertebrate Ecology the study of ecology for all vertebrates (animals with backbones)
