There are currently two APAI PhD students working on the ARC Linkage project: Renee Visser who is working on the conservation role of dingoes in trophic regulation; and Peter Dostine who is working on the ecology and conservation of the Flock Bronzewing. In 2006, two PhD students will commence on ANU scholarships: Peter Lee, who will be examining use of remotely sensed data to map vegetations structure in the W.A. goldfields woodlands; and Susan Gould, who will be investigating the impact of bauxite mining on bird habitat on Cape York Peninsula.
