E&E Seminar: Tracing the threads of linguistic and genetic diversity in New Guinea »
New Guinea is the heart of global linguistic diversity. New Guinea makes up 1% of the global land area as an island, containing less than <0.2% of the world's population and 20% of all languages. The obvious linguistic and anthropological question is why?
PS Seminar Series: Revealing the Functions of SEPALLATA MADS-Box Genes in Cereal Floral Organ Development »
Grass genomes harbour a whole MADS-box gene blueprint of the ABCED model, which is the molecular basis of floral organ identity in angiosperm flowers.
E&E PhD Exit Seminar: Investigating the effects of bushfires on koalas and their habitat »
Bushfires are a major disturbance process in the Australian landscape, affecting our native wildlife and their habitat. The dry sclerophyll forests of south-eastern Australia are one of the most fire-prone regions in the world and are dominated by tree species from the Eucalyptus genus.
RSB Director's Seminar: Opportunities and Challenges in Machine Learning for Genomics »
Dr Cheng Soon Ong, Associate Science Director, Data61, CSIRO
E&E Seminar: The Australian Acoustic Observatory: Lessons Learnt and Future Directions »
The Australian Acoustic Observatory (A2O) was created five years ago, a unique infrastructure to monitor vocal fauna across Australia using a network of solar powered acoustic recorders.
E&E Special Seminar: Building a body for sex and danger »
Fitness depends entirely on how well individuals can survive and reproduce – both of which can be quite stressful. What makes these even more challenging is that the traits that may increase reproductive success can often decrease survivorship.
E&E Seminar: Macrogenetics: safeguarding intraspecific genetic diversity across populations and species »
Over previous decades, the fields of phylogeography, macroecology, and macrophysiology have helped us to understand natural systems and how they respond to anthropogenic disturbance.
PS Seminar Series: Photosynthetic acclimation under drought »
The impacts of climate change on plants are hard to quantify, leading to uncertainties in predicting future gross primary productivity and carbon budgets of (agro)ecosystems.
