The majority of the world’s plants rely on animal pollination at least to some degree for reproduction.

The long-tailed finch, Poephila acuticauda provides a long-established example of sub-species divergence across the Top-End of Australia based on bill colour, with red-billed birds in the east and yellow-billed birds in the west.

The climate is warming fast, threatening species persistence and biodiversity. Being sessile, plants must respond and adapt to changing environmental conditions in situ.

Bat echolocation is considered one of the most complex and diverse modes of sensory perception in animals, but its origin and evolutionary history is a highly contentious issue that remains unresolved.

Pompilidae is a family of solitary wasps with more than 5000 species worldwide and approximately 260 in Australia.

Pollinators are under threat from anthropogenic influences such as changed and reduced pollen and nectar resources from agricultural intensification, and emerging pathogens introduced through global trade into new host populations.

Climate has changed rapidly since the end of 19thcentury due to increased emission of greenhouse gases into the earth’s atmosphere.

An exceptionally impressive example of animal navigation is presented by the Bogong moth Agrotis infusa, that migrates over 1000 km from widely distributed winter breeding grounds to a relatively confined summer range in the Australian Alps, consistently arriving to the same sites as its predecessors

Why are sex differences the result of biological and economic forces? How do mating market conditions affect gendered violence?

The extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli lineages STs 131, 73 and 95, of the phylogroup B2 are equally likely to be responsible for hospital- and community-acquired human extra-intestinal disease.

Phylogenetic inference is the process of reconstructing relationships between species from genomic sequence data. The reliability of phylogenetic analysis relies on the quality of the data and the fitness of the substitution models.

Escherichia coli extraintestinal infections (ExPEC) cause significant disease in humans and companion animals (cats and dogs).
