Researchers undertake projects to study biodiversity and the impacts of fire and invasive animal and plant control on mammals, birds and reptiles inhabiting a range of vegetation types at Booderee National Park and Beecroft Weapons Range near Jervis Bay on the Southern coast of NSW, Australia.

The work around Jervis Bay encompasses a range of studies. These include:

• Long-term monitoring of the responses to fire of birds, mammals, reptiles, frogs, and plants.
• The response of the Long-nosed Bandicoot to burnt environments
• Ringtail Possum nesting habits
• Diamond Python spatial ecology
• The impacts of spatial heterogeneity in vegetation cover on mammals and birds
• The impacts of fire on amphibians
• The spatial ecology and genetics of small terrestrial mammals
• The effects of urbanisation on vertebrates
• The mitigation of military training effects on environmental values
• Interspecific competition between mammal species
• Fire effects and macropod responses
