🎓 Congratulations to our Final Year Project students on successfully completing their research projects!
Your dedication, perseverance and passion for scientific discovery have resulted in outstanding contributions to wildlife biology, genetics, ecology and conservation research. We are proud to celebrate your achievements and the knowledge you have generated through your hard work. 🌟🌟🌟
Adam Farish
Final Year Project Title: “Genetics and Morphological Variation of Dyacopterus spadiceus from Sarawak”
Adam studied the genetic and morphological variation of the Dayak fruit bat, Dyacopterus spadiceus, providing valuable insights into the diversity and population structure of this fruit bat species in Sarawak.
Chan Xiu Zhi (Suky)
Final Year Project Title: “Genetics, Morphology and Echolocation Variations within Family Emballonuridae in Sarawak”
Suky explored variation in genetics, morphology and echolocation among sheath-tailed bats (Family Emballonuridae), contributing to a better understanding of species relationships and diversity within this fascinating bat family.
Hanisah Naqibah
Final Year Project Title: “Unravelling the Relationship of Free-tailed Bats (Family: Molossidae) in Sarawak through Morphometrics, Genetics and Acoustic Analyses”
Hanisah integrated morphometric, genetic and acoustic data to investigate relationships among free-tailed bats in Sarawak, demonstrating the value of multidisciplinary approaches in bat systematics and taxonomy.
Khairi
Final Year Project Title: “Phylogeographic Study of Genus Rousettus (Family: Pteropodidae) in Malaysia”
Khairi explored the phylogeographic patterns of Rousettus fruit bats across Malaysia, helping to reveal how historical and geographical factors have shaped the genetic structure of these widely distributed flying fox relatives.
Najwa Nazril
Final Year Project Title: “Molecular Detection and Genetic Study of Salmonella within Rodent Species in Sarawak”
Najwa studied molecular techniques to detect and characterise Salmonella in rodent populations, generating important baseline information on pathogen occurrence and genetic diversity in Sarawak's small mammals.
Nursara Safiyyah
Final Year Project Title: “Genetic and Morphological Variations of Genus Callosciurus (Family Sciuridae) in Selected Areas in Malaysia”
Sara examined genetic and morphological differences among squirrels of the genus Callosciurus, providing insights into their diversity and potential population structuring across different regions of Malaysia.
May this milestone be the beginning of many future successes in your academic and professional journeys. The FAAK Lab family is proud of all that you have accomplished. Wishing you the very best in your next chapter! ✨🦇🐿️🐀
Thank you Prof, for believing in us and guiding us throughout this journey. Turning research questions into scientific contributions was challenging but rewarding, and I have learned so much along the way. I truly appreciate all the support and encouragement given to us :)
