We are currently seeking expressions of interest from PhD candidates to join the MAVE Lab at the University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia: Project title A changing Sea Country: establishing an ecological baseline of a key marine predator in Jervis Bay to enable detection of future climate change effects Research area and project description Climate change is expected to reshape the distribution and population dynamics of various species within their ecosystems. In the case of key predators such as dolphins, this can cause cascading effects throughout the entire system. Despite these implications, many species and populations lack the fundamental ecological data to assess the effects of climate change on dolphins ranging patterns and population dynamics. The bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) population in Jervis Bay, NSW, is such an example, as no targeted research has been done here since 1998. Jervis Bay is home to a diverse marine ecosystem, and bottlenose dolphins are ...
