⑧ Species and regulatory frameworks
Step into The Research Burrow, Georgia Randall’s weekly exploration of the latest research. As Odonata’s program ecologist, PhD candidate, and Module 2 expert, Georgia shares the studies, stories, and discoveries that inspire her work, making complex science accessible and showing how species contribute to ecosystem function and carbon cycling.
The Research Burrow
-
In this first edition, Georgia explores zoogeochemistry, that is, how animals shape soil health, nutrient cycling, and carbon storage in ecosystems. Highlights include long-term studies on mammal population recovery, post-fire behaviour shifts, and the surprising ways small diggers can influence landscape recovery. Dive in to see how everyday animal behaviours play a big role in keeping our ecosystems healthy.
Read Edition 1 -
In this second ediction, Georgia explores the distinction between rewilding and restoration, uncovering how returning species and restoring ecosystems can revive lost ecological functions. Highlights include the reintroduction of platypus to the Royal National Park, the behaviour of threatened mammals in predator-free sanctuaries, and the delicate balance needed to rebuild biodiversity. Discover how carefully guided interventions can help nature regain its self-sustaining rhythm.
-
In the third edition, Georgia explores process-based conservation, highlighting why protecting ecological functions can be more effective than focusing on individual species alone. Topics include genetic diversity, restoring key species interactions, and creating habitat connectivity to build resilient ecosystems. Discover how understanding and supporting these underlying processes can help landscapes adapt, thrive, and sustain biodiversity over the long term.
