While Australia is the last continent to be invaded by the vorroa mite, it has an opportunity to be the first to eradicate it.
Until recently we had very little idea when butterflies evolved, and hypotheses concerning their place of origin were largely educated guesses.
A new study shows that we can use existing conservation data to predict which currently unthreatened species could become threatened and take proactive action to prevent their decline before it is too late.
Superb fairy-wrens are more likely to take risks to help members of their close social circle, according to a new study.
Dr Tobias Hayashi studied a delicate little native orchid with a cool and clever adaptation to attract pollinators.

My research contributes to broader insights into sexual selection, life-history evolution, and the potential impacts of environmental change on reproductive dynamics in natural populations.
Plants employ a suite of gene regulatory mechanisms that enable them to occupy a diverse range of environments and respond to ongoing perturbations.
Multilevel societies—where social groups show intergroup tolerance and repeatedly associate and merge with specific other groups—are among the most complex forms of social systems in vertebrates.
As genomic data have become increasingly cheap to generate, they have seen a range of new uses for understanding pest populations.
Phenotypic plasticity is an important adaptation for organisms that live under fluctuating environmental conditions.
In this presentation, I show that geographically widespread triploid parthenogenetic forms of the Australian gekkonid Heteronotia binoei are considerably diverse despite their clonal reproductive mode, with patterns of SNP variation consistent with two previously identified reciprocal hybrid origins and numerous backcrossing events.
