SUMMARY:Serventy Memorial Lecture 2025
DESCRIPTION:Biotic interactions – the essence of nature conservation\n\n\n\nSouthwestern Australia has a unique natural heritage. Our ecosystems contain many complex interactions between plants\, animals and fungi. Prof. Lamont will outline examples of these interactions such as occur with the Albany pitcher plant\, orchid mimicry\, the woylie\, and black cockatoos. He will explain how these cycles form an essential part of the environment that we all love and depend on. Content has been tailored for senior high school students and above. \n\n\n\nPurchase you ticket now.
