Suggested Topics for Future Students

Ecological and forensic importance of larval blowfly thermogenesis in carrion

Forensic implications of the reproductive biology of oviparous blowflies

Effect of solar radiation on adult blowfly activity

Forensic importance of thermal history on adult blowfly activity

Geographic and seasonal variation in carrion fauna in south-eastern Australia

Effect of recreational and therapeutic drugs on maggot development.

 

I am always happy to discuss potential projects with students interested in other areas of entomology or terrestrial invertebrate zoology.
