My thesis explores the relationships between temperature and photosynthetic organismal physiology, focusing on the thermal tolerance of land plants and seaweeds, which are crucial components of terrestrial and marine ecosystems.

Oceans are environments where a diversity of human activities threaten marine life. To achieve effective conservation, it is crucial to comprehend the movement patterns of animals within these dynamic environments: how, when, where, and why they move.

Phylogenetics is the science of reconstructing the evolutionary history of groups of species or individuals. Most phylogenetic methods include the treelikeness assumption, which states that every site in an alignment shares an identical evolutionary history.

Regeneration is the natural ability to restore or replace damaged or lost body parts following severe injury. Regenerative abilities vary strongly across and within most bilaterian phyla.

I will tell you about Australia's most diverse snake genus, their relationships with one another, how they got to where they are, and what their morphological and ecological variation can tell us about their evolutionary history and their future.

The development of iron enriched “biofortified” crops is a sustainable way of increasing iron intakes at no additional cost to growers and food manufacturers.

A fundamental challenge in animal ecology research lies in the ability to understand the factors that shape the evolution and plasticity of behaviours, life histories, and population dynamics of organisms.

The Cotton Bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, is a globally distributed polyphagous pest with a profound economic and environmental impact.

In this talk, I will provide a unified review of approaches and explain their close interrelationships, emphasizing that all approaches rely on the standard error of the quantity of interest, most often a pairwise difference of two means.
