New research on snapper has revealed that there are more genetically distinct populations in the western part of its Australian range than previously understood. The research, led by […]
How life manages to persist in unpredictable and extreme environments is a major question in evolution. For aquatic animals, extreme environments include those with little water […]
Scientists have discovered how one of the world’s biggest migration runs works. The Sardine Run involves the movement of hundreds of millions of sardines from their […]
New research reveals how winners & losers from climate change can be identified based on their ability to adapt to rising future temperatures. In the first […]
What drives the evolution of new species of sharks and rays? Traditionally, scientists thought it required species to be separated by geographic or spatial barriers, however […]
In-depth studies into understanding underground water at mine sites – and to improve the management of Australian and NZ snapper fisheries – will be led by […]
Warm and cool water temperatures over a long stretch of coastline cause new species of marine fish to evolve without being isolated from similar types of […]
New research into the genome of the world famous giant tortoise, Lonesome George, provides extraordinary insights into the species’ large size, ability to live up to […]
