Rat chat: vocalisations of the fawn-footed mosaic-tailed rat (Melomys cervinipes)
Tasmin Rymer
01 Apr 2024 - 01 Apr 2025
The primary objective is to study the vocal repertoire of the fawn-footed mosaic-tailed rat, the first study of its kind on an Australian rodent species. The project has two main aims. (1) to describe and quantify the main call types of mosaic-tailed rats produced in the audible range in four different ecological contexts. (2) to describe and quantify the main call types produced in the ultrasonic range of mosaic-tailed rats in these same ecological contexts. If they call ultrasonically, this study will represent the first demonstration of ultrasonic vocalisations in this genus. This project aligns with the Foundation objective of “Pure research aimed at understanding rainforest flora and fauna, ecosystems, processes and biological interactions”.
Novel reproductive approaches to de-risk and transform barramundi breeding (Old ID 31145)
Jarrod Guppy
01 May 2024 - 16 Sep 2027
Demand for Australian seafood outstrips supply. Farming of the iconic Australian barramundi is poised to play a major role addressing this shortfall; but innovative methods are needed to de-risk breeding processes and to provide precise control of maturation, spawning and genetic contribution of broodstock. This project, in partnership with the world’s largest barramundi breeding company, will develop, test and apply novel breeding methods to obtain tight control over barramundi reproductive development and spawning. By combining cutting edge genetic and applied breeding techniques, selective breeding programs will be more efficient and the genetic gains from breeding programs will be maximised.
