Our research is supported by funding through the Australian Research Council. While that funding helps meet the cost of staffing, student scholarship and fieldwork, research programs like ours often need additional support.

 

We deploy and maintain field equipment that record variations in plant status in a very challenging environment, and run a suite of greenhouse/laboratory/field experiments on snow-gum taxa and Phoracantha beetles. All of these research activities are aimed at understanding the causes and dynamics of snow-gum dieback, and developing practical management responses to the phenomenon; each of them needs support.

 

Our current research priorities mean that donations currently support field- and laboratory-work aimed at identifying potential biological-control agents for Phoracantha species and understanding the relationship between beetle infestations, climate and fire.
