Helen Osmond has watched the ins and outs of one superb fairy-wren population for three decades.
Spring isn't all it's quacked up to be. Pollen levels are high, magpies are terrorising cyclists and pedestrians alike, and protective duck parents are in attack mode.
Our new research unites genomic sequencing and museum collections to reconstruct the evolutionary tale of native rodents, including many extinct and elusive species – and they have a fascinating origin story.
If swooping season strikes fear into your heart, you're not alone. Fortunately, Dr Chaminda Ratnayake from the ANU Research School of Biology has the intel you need to navigate the great outdoors this spring.
A new study shows Australian magpie-larks may use a ventriloquial illusion to make their vocal duets more threatening.
The raw material for evolution is much more abundant in wild animals than we previously believed, according to new research.

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.
In anisogamous mating systems, males and females play different roles. This results in sexual differences in morphology and behaviour.
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.
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.
