  • Bat Biology and Ecology Studies
  • Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
  • Species Distribution and Climate Change
  • Fire effects on ecosystems
  • Marine animal studies overview
  • Rangeland and Wildlife Management
  • Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior

Bradley Law has contributed to various academic papers, with notable recent publications including:

  • Fire severity and its local extent are key to assessing impacts of Australian mega-fires on koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) density, 2022, Global Ecology and Biogeography
  • Mini-acoustic sensors reveal occupancy and threats to koalas Phascolarctos cinereus in private native forests, 2021, Journal of Applied Ecology

Their coauthors frequently include Leroy Gonsalves, Traecey Brassil, Isobel Kerr, Daniel Lunney, and Chris R. Dickman. These collaborations reflect sustained research partnerships across multiple studies.

Law's research is often published in venues such as Australian Zoologist, Australian Mammalogy, Australian Journal of Zoology, Austral Ecology, and Wildlife Research. These journals have featured multiple contributions by Law, indicating active involvement in topics relevant to Australian fauna and environmental issues.

Among recent paper contributions by other authors related to the broader research themes Law engages with are:

  • The conservation impacts of ecological disturbance: Time-bound estimates of population loss and recovery for fauna affected by the 2019-2020 Australian megafires, 2022, Global Ecology and Biogeography
  • Animal population decline and recovery after severe fire: Relating ecological and life history traits with expert estimates of population impacts from the Australian 2019-20 megafires, 2023, Biological Conservation
  • Long-term monitoring of an endangered population of Yellow-bellied Glider Petaurus australis on the Bago Plateau, New South Wales, and its response to wildfires and timber harvesting in a changing climate, 2022, Australian Zoologist

Bradley Law's research demonstrates a focus on the effects of environmental disturbances such as wildfires on native Australian wildlife, particularly species like koalas and gliders. Their studies combine field monitoring techniques, including acoustic sensors, to assess population density, habitat occupancy, and threat levels in native forests.
