The Phylogenomics activity area of the Genomics for Australian Plants consortium aimed to assemble the Australian Angiosperm Tree of Life (AAToL) and to build bioinformatic tools for phylogenomic projects conducted by Australian taxonomists.

Amphibians in Australia and globally face severe threats by the devastating fungal disease chytridiomycosis. Since this disease cannot be eradicated in the wild, solutions are needed that allow amphibians to survive in its presence.

Ethological studies not only shed light on how and why animals engage in extraordinary behaviours but also offer opportunities to understand how human activities disturb wildlife in the Anthropocene.

The use of social information is widespread among animals and can influence critical individual processes such as selecting foraging and breeding locations.

Captive studies in birds are foundational to behavioural and evolutionary ecology, both in testing fundamental theory and for applied conservation.

Animal behaviour is being altered by the increasing human population, and land use changes.
