Athena Aktipis discusses how an evolutionary approach to understanding and treating cancer can transform it from being a disease that threatens our lives to one we can live with.
Special E&E Webinar: Non-invasive physiology in free-ranging birds »
Studying physiological responses in animals can tell us a lot about how much environmental stress animals can tolerate, helping to improve our understanding of animal biology and inform conservation management actions.
E&E Webinar: Behavioural responses to a changing world: ecological and evolutionary consequences »
Bob Wong considers the role that behaviour plays in determining the fate of species under human-induced environmental change.
E&E PhD Exit Webinar: Sexual differences in morphology and behaviour: evolution and maintenance in fiddler crabs »
In anisogamous mating systems, males and females play different roles. This results in sexual differences in morphology and behaviour.
E&E PhD Exit Webinar: The insight of Eucalyptus pauciflora (snow gum) genome »
In this talk, I will introduce a suite of new methods and biological insights gained from the assembly and analysis of Eucalyptus genomes. I will start by introducing new methods of assembling and assessing nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast genomes with long- and short-read data.
Dance of Rock and Life: Energy, Evolution, and the Transformation of the Earth »
Throughout its long history, life has been a force of planetary transformation, remaking the air, the rocks, the landscapes, even painting the color of the sky and increasing the variety of Earth’s minerals.
E&E PhD Exit Webinar: Diversity and cophylogenetic analyses of Tulasnellaceae mycorrhizal associations of Australian terrestrial orchids ...
Orchid mycorrhizal fungi are essential for orchid seed germination and survival due to the lack of endosperm in dust-like orchid seeds. I investigated the mycorrhizal associations in Cryptostylis and Drakaeinae orchids.
Remote Sensing of Wildfire: Fuels, Fire and Recovery in a Changing World »
