Geometric biology allows us to understand the dynamics of how living things convert energy flows into mass, at all scales of biological organisation.
The size and shape (together, the ‘geometry’) of organisms ultimately determine these flows.
The Geometric Theory of Biology allows us to predict how things function, grow, and change; be they tumours, schools of fish, or whole forests.
The Centre for Geometric Biology and the Marine Evolutionary Ecology Group are seeking a Technical Officer to assist in a variety of research and administration tasks within these groups.
Lukas Schuster and his supervisors, Craig White and Dustin Marshall, investigate whether changes in metabolic rates in response to different field environments are an example of adaptive phenotypic plasticity.
