Ben Clark – Honours student 2012

For my honours I studied cognition in Bassiana duperreyi, a small skink species. I examined which factors influence cognitive ability, with a focus on incubation effects, as well as gender or physical factors such as size and speed. This work was in collaboration with Josh Amiel and Rick Shine at the University of Sydney.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the Macquarie University land, the Wattamattagal clan of the Darug nation, whose cultures and customs have nurtured, and continue to nurture, this land, since the Dreamtime.  We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future.
