Dr Robert Lanfear of the ANU Research School of Biology and Dr Minh Bui, from the College of Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics (CECC) are finalists for the 2023 Eureka Prize for Excellence in Research Software.
A first-of-its-kind genetic study of the endangered Australian Pookila - formerly known as the New Holland Mouse - is contributing to saving the species from extinction.
A major new study explains why you won’t find kangaroos, koalas and other Aussie marsupials in Indonesia, but you will find many groups of animals that originated in Asia, such as goannas, rodents and kookaburras in Australia.
How do you estimate a good phylogeny? Phylogenetic trees form the backbone of much of our understanding of evolution, so it's important we try to get them right
The Fish Lab at Macquarie University has been studying Port Jackson sharks for over a decade. Our initial studies just tried to figure out where they go and what they do: basic behavioural ecology.
As climate change and land transformation advance into the future, more and more species will be unable to keep up with the rate of change imposed by human activity.
Australian freshwater turtles, like most turtles, have declined substantially for at least 50 years, and their loss has major consequences for aquatic ecosystem functioning.
