The Aplin lab studies cognition and social behaviour.

We use molecular tools to investigate many aspects of coral biology including comparative genomics, development, stress responses and calcification.

We study how physiological adaptations and responses to environmental stresses affect the structure and functioning of plant communities.

We study the genetic basis of Climate Adaptation in foundation plant species, using state of the art Genomic and Phenomic techniques

We use phylogenetic comparative methods to investigate the characteristics of lineages that influence the pattern and rate of genome evolution.

We are interested in big-picture questions about biodiversity. Why are there so many species in the tropics? How have some places become biodiversity hotspots?

Current work focuses on cooperative breeding of superb fairy-wrens and woodswallows.

Group research topics include insect physiology, salt and water regulation; locust and grapevine scale biology, and environmental physiology.

I am a behavioural and movement ecologist.

The aim of our research is to understand the ecology and evolution of interactions between plants and animals in the Australian biota.

Research in the Head Group focuses on the evolution, ecology and physiology of sexual reproduction.

We focus on understanding what processes shape the distribution of genetic variation.The nature of our work is largely computational and statistical.

What do we do? We are interested in whole organism evolutionary biology, especially the evolution of behavioural and morphological reproductive traits.

My primary research interest is the study and evaluation of evolutionary processes and we work mostly on reptile and frog systems.

Our work is motivated by the desire to understand molecular evolution, from the origin of mutations in individuals to their fixation in evolving lineages.

We study many aspects of evolutionary and behavioural ecology in birds, mainly by using field experiments and observations to test evolutionary theory.

Our main research interest is in fungal-plant-interactions, both applied and pure research, on a range of important pathogens.

We have broad interests in behavioural ecology, particularly acoustic communication and breeding biology in birds.

Our research is aimed at understanding how diet and nutrition influence wildlife physiology, behaviour, and habitat quality.

Our research actually spans may study systems and research questions. But the evolution of honey bee parasites and diseases and is a major focus.

Our research focuses on evolutionary biogeography; biodiversity discovery and conservation; biogeography speciation; and biological responses to climate change.

We are interested in phenotypic plasticity - the range of forms a given genetic individual can exhibit under different environments.

Our research explores how early developmental experiences impact physiology and metabolic function.

Our research spans reproductive ecology, genetics, phylogeny, biochemistry and chemical ecology.

We study the mechanisms behind the proximal processes of evolution – those that lead to population differentiation, divergence and ultimately speciation.

Associate Professor Ana M. M. Sequeira, a marine ecologist based at ANU, leads breakthrough research in the field of marine megafauna movement and conservation.

We study aspects of the evolutionary process, including mutational events, the genetic basis of fitness-related traits, and genetic variation.

We are interested in insect navigation and the sensory, neural and behavioural adaptations that underpin navigational competence in insects.
