What’s that in my nest? How the evolutionary arms race between cuckoos and hosts creates new species
In new research published in Science, biologists show how coevolution drives the creation of new species of cuckoos.
Working on the Clever Cockie Project, Dr Julia Penndorf is tracking all the odd but fascinating behaviours that Sydney and Canberra cockatoos get up to in urban environments.
We have a small and vanishing window to collect bees before the inevitable rapid spread of the varroa mites, and the mass die-offs, occur.
Australia can lay claim to two new native mammal species, discovered as part of collaborative new research published in the journal Molecular Ecology.
“We just need to educate people and build awareness of spiders, to show that they’re not actually the bad guys we want them to be.”

Substantial research demonstrates the importance of mate choice to speciation, yet we know little about the molecular mechanisms that underpin this crucial decision-making process.
In many biological processes the emergence of spatio-temporal patterns depends on the interaction between pairs of individuals, agents or subunits comprising the whole system.
