Research School of Biology
The ANU Research School of Biology (RSB) carries out research in a wide range of biological and biomedical sciences and oversees the University's Biology curriculum, with a diverse offering of courses across both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Researchers have uncovered a mechanism that helps plants continue photosynthesising under extreme heat and dry air conditions.
Three Australian National University (ANU) scientists have been recognised for their extraordinary work by being elected Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science.
Research led by The Australian National University (ANU) has revealed that wild sulphur-crested cockatoos learn what foods are safe to eat by watching each other — a discovery that helps explain how the species thrives in rapidly changing urban environments.
E&E PhD Exit Seminar: Of Parrots and People: from global patterns to the urban ecology of cockatoos
My thesis provides insights into how parrots respond to rapidly changing environments, with implications for conservation and urban planning.
E&E Seminar Series: Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes: evaluating phenotypic responses to climatic warming in birds
Global climatic warming is having profound effects on species’ ecology and acts as a major driver of phenotypic change, but predicting how species will change in their morphology, behaviour and physiology is difficult.
