I am a student from Singapore and I’ll be going to Melbourne for 3 months. Are there are any comparative studies pertaining to biodiversity/ecology/environmental biology I could do? E.g. comparing invasive species between these 2 countries, studying a certain organism’s (that can be found in both countries) niche, etc.? I need ideas urgently, and details/advice would be greatly appreciated!
