Single-cell proteomics provides information about a cell at its protein level, which can prove useful for anticancer drug resistance and cell differentiation research. However, current proteomics methods are not versatile and often lead to high sample losses. To overcome this issue, researchers have now developed a new sample preparation method...
Highest coral cover in central, northern Reef in 36 years
The northern and central Great Barrier Reef have recorded their highest amount of coral cover since the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) began monitoring 36 years ago. However, average coral cover in the southern region decreased due to ongoing crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks. While the Reef experienced its fourth major...
Research Suggests That Change in Bird Colouration Is Due to Climate Change
A study (Long-Term Decrease in Coloration: A Consequence of Climate Change?), published by The American Naturalist and in which the Faculty of Science and Technology researcher David López-Idiáquez has participated, explored whether climate change alters the plumage colouration of the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus).
New Study Finds Global Forest Area per Capita Has Decreased by Over 60%
Over the past 60 years, the global forest area has declined by 81.7 million hectares, a loss that contributed to the more than 60% decline in global forest area per capita.
Scientists Envisage Climate Change Will Severely Impact Bird Communities by 2080
Leading ecologists from our Department of Biosciences and Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre in Germany have predicted in their latest research that bird communities will change worldwide in 2080 due to climate change, largely as result of shifting their ranges.
New technology can help combat climate crisis
Scientists have created a novel technology that can help to tackle climate change and address the global energy crisis.
Change in bird coloration due to climate change
A study has explored whether climate change alters the plumage coloration of the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus).
New global map of ant biodiversity reveals areas that may hide undiscovered species
Researchers have combined data from around the world with predictions from machine learning to create a high-resolution map of ant diversity, revealing areas that should be the focus of exploration and research.
Global spread of powdery mildew through migration and trade
The worldwide distribution of one of the most important cereal pathogens is the result of human activity. Researchers have traced the history and spread of wheat powdery mildew along wheat trade routes and found that mixing of genetic ancestries of related powdery mildew species played a central role in the...
Where coral reefs may be buffered against warming oceans
As warming ocean temperatures threaten the existence of coral reefs, scientists have successfully used an extremely high-resolution computer simulation of ocean circulation to identify possible 'thermal refugia' where these biodiverse ecosystems are more likely to survive.
