Researchers will investigate how antibiotics were used to treat bushfire-affected wildlife to help inform antibiotic-resistance risks and improve treatment outcomes.
Researchers will review clinical data on koalas affected by recent bushfires to help identify predisposing risk factors and prognostic indicators to improve their overall care in future fire seasons.
Researchers will develop evidence-based guidelines to facilitate triage and treatment of bushfire-affected marsupials to better prepare for future Australian bushfire seasons.
Researchers will determine if allostatic load (a cumulative health measure associated with repeated and chronic stressors) can predict increased risk of disease and early mortality in wild eastern gorillas.
Researchers will investigate how different rearing practices influence the health of the microbiome (a collection of microbes that live inside and outside the body) in whooping crane chicks.
