While the path by which a scientific advance is made is not particularly relevant to science itself, the path is everything for practicing scientists.
Australian native plants are remarkably tolerant to a wide range of environmental conditions in which they grow.
Bushrocks provide critical habitat for reptiles and are a common feature in agricultural landscapes. Despite this, there is limited quantitative evidence describing the use of bushrock by biodiversity and its conservation significance in landscapes.
Rust fungi are a diverse group of plant pathogens consisting of over 8,000 species in the Basidiomycete order Pucciniales. They parasitise numerous plants of agricultural and ecological importance, such as cereals, legumes, and trees.
Movement is a fundamental part of life for most animals, allowing them to access food or mates and facilitating escape from predators.
