Marine Predator Research Group
In the Marine Predator Research Group we have broad interests in the behaviour, ecology and conservation of animals which occupy higher trophic levels in marine food webs. Since formation at Macquarie in 1997 we have been conducting research on subjects as diverse as animal personality, animal communication, mating preferences, individual differences, sociality and population genetics through to more applied research on foraging ecology, animal movements, population dynamics, conservation physiology and anthropogenic interactions. We are a large lab with collaborators around Australia and across the world and always happy to talk with new enthusiasts.
