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: Time Flies -The Anthropogenic Interactions and Evolutionary History of the Australian Bush Fly (Musca vetustissima)
The Australian bush fly (Musca vetustissima) is an ecologically important species whose interactions with human-modified environments may influence its population dynamics and microbial associations.
PS PhD Exit Seminar: Exploring the role of Aquaporins in wheat responses to water limitation
Water availability and quality strongly affect plant productivity, with drought and salinity disrupting water uptake and cellular homeostasis. Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane proteins that facilitate the movement of water and small solutes across cellular membranes. However, the contributions that AQPs make to water-stress responses in wheat (Triticum aestivum) remain poorly understood, leaving a knowledge gap that my research seeks to address.
