E&E Seminar: Exploring genomic approaches for increasing disease resilience in amphibians »
Amphibians in Australia and globally face severe threats by the devastating fungal disease chytridiomycosis. Since this disease cannot be eradicated in the wild, solutions are needed that allow amphibians to survive in its presence.
PS Seminar Series - Eucalyptus genome architecture is driven by structural rearrangements that promote divergence and evolution »
Eucalyptus trees are widespread across Australia, providing habitat to a rich biodiversity of marsupials, birds and insects, being key foundation species in natural ecosystems.
PS PhD Exit Seminar - Analysing cyanobacterial bicarbonate transporters in heterologous systems: linking structure to function »
The efficient photosynthetic capability of marine phytoplankton is key to their significant contribution to global primary production.
E&E Seminar: Bridging ethology and ecotourism: A case study of Shrimp Watching tourism in Thailand »
Ethological studies not only shed light on how and why animals engage in extraordinary behaviours but also offer opportunities to understand how human activities disturb wildlife in the Anthropocene.
BSB PhD Exit Seminar: Decoding the Regenerative Landscape: Insights from Sponge Single-Cell Transcriptomics »
Di has established the first single-cell atlas for calcareous sponges using an endemic species of Australia, Sycon capricorn. His study reinforces the utility of the Sycon sponge as a model to explore a range of biological processes, such as wound healing.
PS Seminar Series: Myrtle rust research advances and challenges »
Austropuccinia psidii is the fungal pathogen that causes myrtle rust on Myrtaceae hosts. First described on South American guava in 1884, the disease was noted on introduced eucalypt plantations in Brazil in 1912 before spreading globally.
RSB Director's Seminar: Plant immunity at the cell surface: Engineering non-canonical plant cell surface immunity receptors to protect our crops...
Our research endeavours to unravel the intricate molecular mechanisms employed by pathogenic fungi to manipulate host plants and cause disease. Additionally, we aim to understand how plants recognise fungal virulence proteins, thereby activating defence pathways.
BSB Seminar Series: Designing teaching activities that encourage and support peer-based problem-solving and data analysis in large subjects ...
In this seminar, Dr Hayley Bugeja will tell the story of the development of interactive workshops in a large second year genetics subject, which were iteratively designed over several years (pre and post pandemic).
E&E Seminar: Development and consequences of social dynamics in a long-lived raptor species »
The use of social information is widespread among animals and can influence critical individual processes such as selecting foraging and breeding locations.
E&E Seminar: Introducing the RSB aviary facilities and showcasing aviary-based research on the behavioural ecology of birds »
Captive studies in birds are foundational to behavioural and evolutionary ecology, both in testing fundamental theory and for applied conservation.
