SUMMARY:Hannah Gerke ‘Life on the edge: personality and movement behaviour of urban brown snakes in Canberra’
DESCRIPTION:Hannah\, a PhD candidate at ANU\, will talk about the hundreds of Eastern brown snakes being translocated around the ACT each year. However\, recent work has shown that moving reptiles long distances may have harmful impacts on brown snake behaviour and survival. \nAbstract \nEastern brown snakes are the most common snake in urban Canberra\, leading to hundreds translocated around the ACT each year. However\, recent work has shown that moving reptiles long distances can have harmful impacts\, and we don’t really know how translocation affects brown snake behaviour for survival. This research (as part of The Canberra Snake Tracking Project) seeks to understand if snakes have “personalities” and if personality influences how individual snakes respond to translocation. \nBiography\nHannah is a PhD Candidate at the Australian National University. Her research focuses on human-wildlife conflict and the impacts of human activities on wildlife\, particularly brown snakes. \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/DDEFK \nBooking\n	Lunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and we thank all those who have donated.  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/DDEFK \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens.
