Marine Megafauna

Node Leader: Dr Adrian Gleiss (a.gleiss@murdoch.edu.au)

Our researchers investigate many aspects of the ecology and behaviour of those iconic marine species that are synonymous with Western Australia's expansive coastline. Be it Ningaloo's whales, whale sharks or manta rays, or even the dolphins of Shark Bay or the newly discovered sunfish, there are many opportunities to consider.
