Podcast Overview

Ecology Matters is a podcast from the Ecological Society of Australia, a not-for-profit organisation supporting ecologists and ecological science in Australia. What do ecologists do? What happens when they hit bumps and twists in their career path? How do they end up studying sometimes strange and obscure species? And why are partnerships and communication more than just trendy buzzwords when it comes to ecology?

Don Whap and Madeina David

"Many might think that a remote island, if left alone, should keep its uniqueness. But they’re under threat at the moment from impacts and drivers way bigger than ourselves." Don Whap and Madeina David are Natural Resource Management Officers with the <a href="https://www.tsra.gov.au/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Torres Strait Regional Authority</a> (TSRA). They work in close partnership with 14 communities across the Torres Strait to monitor and protect the natural values of the Sea Country in this unique region. They work alongside rangers, communities and research partners to conduct seagrass, turtle, dugong and coral reef monitoring programs. The TSRA works to protect the ecological complexity and biodiversity of the Torres Strait region, and the strong and enduring connection of Torres Strait Islander people to their islands and sea. The Ecological Society of Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Distinguished Professor Emeritus Byron Lamont

“Our plants have been able to cope with some of the world’s poorest soils [and] adapt to some of the strangest pollinators.” In a career spanning fifty years, Emeritus Professor Byron Lamont is recognised as one of Australia’s foremost experts on the unique flora of southwestern Australia. Recently, this included pioneering work that shows the ancestors of one of Australia's most iconic floral species, the banksias, actually migrated here from North Africa. Byron joined us to discuss this work, and his remarkable career. Byron joined Curtin University as Lecturer in Biology in 1974. Before retiring, he was the Personal Chair in plant ecology and Director of Curtin's Centre for Ecosystem Diversity and Dynamics. With over 400 papers and reviews on plant ecology, biogeography, population dynamics and genetics, and ecophysiology, focussing on the unique flora of southwestern Australia, Byron is recognised as the most highly cited researcher at Curtin University. He received a Wright Lifetime Achievement Award from the international Association of Fire Ecology in 2022.

Dr François Brassard

“The Northern Territory has one of the highest richness of ants in the world.” Originally from Canada, François completed a Master of Science in Montreal on ant biogeography before spending two years at the University of Hong Kong researching the ant biodiversity of Macau SAR. He then undertook a PhD at Charles Darwin University investigating the effects of fire and rainfall on the ants of Northern Australia. He is also a keen photographer, often taking a camera on field trips to record and showcase the strange and beautiful smaller critters that inhabit our world. More of François’ photography can be found on his website: <a href="https://francoisbrassard.smugmug.com/">https://francoisbrassard.smugmug.com</a> The Ecological Society of Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.
