Research Projects

Through investment from the GRDC we’re leading research focussed on improving our understanding of mouse behaviour, activity and population dynamics and genomics in Australian grain growing regions to reduce the economic impact of mice and improve management recommendations for growers and industry.

Our Research Projects have a wide focus on monitoring mouse populations, management techniques for growers and research on mouse biology, ecology and genomics.

Mouse Monitoring & Surveillance

We're using a range of techniques and tools to gather information about house mouse activity in grain growing regions throughout […]

Mouse Ecology Project

This GRDC invested five-year project (2019-2023) aims to increase our understanding of house mouse ecology and biology in zero and […]

Bait Substrate

Zinc phosphide (ZnP) coated grain bait is the only mouse bait registered in Australia for broadacre application within crops. ZnP […]

Mouse Population Genomics

Developing next generation tools to support mouse management decisions We’re leading a GRDC-funded study of feral house mouse population genomics. […]

Impacts and management of mice in pasture-cropping systems

This NSW DPI (Department of Primary Industries) funded three-year project (2022-2025) aims to increase our understanding of house mouse ecology […]
