Prof. Angela Moles | Head of Lab
I lead the Big Ecology Lab, in the Evolution & Ecology Research Centre in the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at UNSW Sydney. My primary research goal is to quantify the ecological strategies employed by plant species in different environments, and to better understand the selective processes underlying global patterns in ecological strategy.

Iain Campbell | PhD Student
My doctoral research is based on a new Habitats of the World mid-level habitat classification system with around 500 habitats worldwide. My research focuses on investigating the optimal scale at which bird assemblages can better indicate habitats compared to existing mapping using the IUCN or IVC systems. Additionally, I aim to explore whether bird assemblages of conspicuous species can serve as indicators for cryptic birds, mammals, and herptiles. I am also interested in determining whether the absence of a species in naturally depauperate or recently impoverished habitats can be considered a valid indicator of the habitat type.
I am eager to assist other ecologists interested in classifying habitats in their respective areas of work, so please feel free to contact me.

Marcus Greenwood | PhD Student
I am researching the range distribution of plant species with fire related germination triggers in response to altered fire regimes. I will be assessing whether these species are able to shift their distribution as fast as species with no fire related germination in our changing climate.

Inna Osmolovsky | PhD Student
My research is about plant response to climate change. Specifically, I’m interested in how ecological interactions might affect how species are shifting their ranges to track their climatic niche.
