Minimally invasive quantification of stress physiology to assess the welfare of Queensland wild koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) populations in clinical care
Funding source:
The University of Queensland
The overall aim of my research is two-fold. Minimally invasive techniques will be used to quantify stress in sick and injured populations of wild koalas within Queensland, in an effort to assess their welfare and streamline their recovery within clinical care. Furthermore, an investigation will be performed pertaining to how the general public of Queensland are willing to assist in conservation efforts directed towards koalas.
