معرفی
Dr. Rebecca Peisley is a Scholarly Teaching Fellow in Ecology at the School of Agricultural, Environmental and Veterinary Sciences, Charles Sturt University, Albury/Wodonga campus. She teaches and coordinates key subjects in environmental science, including Conservation Biology (BIO216) and Avian Population and Community Ecology (BIO432), contributing significantly to undergraduate education in ecological and conservation sciences.
Her research focuses on biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes, particularly examining the ecological roles and impacts of birds in agroecosystems. She completed her PhD in 2017 with a thesis titled Costs and Benefits of Bird Activity in Agricultural Landscapes, which underpins her ongoing work on how birds contribute to ecosystem services such as pest control and pollination. Additional research includes assessing the effects of fuel reduction burns on native fauna, including the Vulnerable brush-tailed phascogale in box-ironbark forests.
Dr. Peisley's teaching and research are closely aligned, emphasizing applied ecological principles, species-habitat interactions, and conservation strategies at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. Her expertise spans avian population dynamics, threats to biodiversity (e.g., habitat loss, climate change, invasive species), and conservation policy.
No recent peer-reviewed publications are listed in the provided text, so no article trend analysis can be performed.
