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 Seminar Series: Where seabirds go and why: following animals through a changing ocean
Seabirds spend much of their lives moving through vast and dynamic marine environments, making movement ecology a powerful framework through which to understand how animals respond to environmental change.
E&E PhD Exit Seminar: Exploring Australian Alpine Plant Trait Plasticity in Response to In Situ Climate Stress Across Varying Temporal Scales
Australia’s alpine regions are known for their rapidly changing weather, cold, snowy winters, clear running streams and wonderfully unique biodiversity. However, things won’t be this way forever, with future climates predicted to challenge plant communities through warmer soils, more frequent droughts and heatwaves, and potentially greater exposure to frost as snow cover declines.
