Wildlife Talks

Each month, wildlife researchers are invited to present a talk to RZS members about various aspects of their research. These talks cover a wide range of topics, often with a wildlife conservation/management slant. Recent talks have included subjects as diverse as the history of the red fox, kangaroo management, the diet of European badgers, the effect of cane toads on freshwater crocodiles, marine predators in the Southern Ocean, platypus ecology, conservation of frogs in northern NSW, and velvet worm ecology.

The talks are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month (Feb-Nov) at 7.15pm, in the Heydon-Laurence Building at the University of Sydney (on Science Road, 400 m down the road from the Great Hall, and 200 m down from the footbridge over Parramatta Rd). Each talk lasts for around 45 mins, after which the audience is invited to stay for tea and coffee and an informal chat with the presenter. All members and their guests are welcome to attend. For more details, or if you would like to present a talk, please contact convenor Dr Adele Haythornthwaite.
