CURRENT & PENDING RESEARCH PROJECTS:
· Pollination biology in China
· Pollination ‘crisis’, especially as it affects Australasia
· Reviewing and encouraging further development of Optimal Foraging Theory
· Production of floral nectar and foraging by nectarivorous birds, thus seeking to understand the co-evolutionary relationships between plants and their pollinators. Current focus is on Christmas Bells (Blandfordia sp) and honeyeaters (mostly White-cheeked Honeyeater Phylidonyris niger).
· Frog Habitat Selection, Reproduction and Community Structure in relation to Water Attributes on Broughton Island. This continues frog research on the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea and widespread and abundant Striped Marsh Frog Limnodynastes peronii, begun in 1998, and sets the stage to better understand effects of Climatic Variables and Climate Change.
· Development of Sustainability Central as a means of transmitting messages re sustainability for humanity to the greatest possible audience, encouraging and facilitating programs for development of sustainability leaders and champions, and providing an outreach program regarding activities that relate to sustainability
· Encouraging other actions to promote sustainability for humanity (with Prof. Paul Ehrlich)
· Use of wildlife rescue information to promote management and conservation of animal species
