No substitute for untouched tropical forests
Over the past 50 years, South-East Asia has suffered the greatest losses of biodiversity of any tropical region in the world. A study, published today in the journal ‘Nature‘, involves research from the Environment Institute’s Professor Corey Bradshaw and Professor Barry Brook, University of Adelaide. The study highlights the importance of natural forests undisturbed by […]

The effect of future climate change on marine molluscs
Abalone is one of the most important shellfish fisheries in Australia. Prized for export it’s a high value industry. Consequently numbers matter. In recent research sea surface temperature is found to be a major driver of abundance patterns for two abalone species. Taking place in Southern Australia, the study ‘Geographic range determinants of two commercially […]

Are the World’s Rediscovered Species Back from the Brink?
Every year, many species considered disappeared are rediscovered. Yet, do these rediscoveries signify the return of ‘viable populations or the delayed extinction of doomed species’? With rampant degradation and habitat loss, research is vital for conservation and residual biological diversity and is often undertaken to rediscover species believed to be extinct. A study undertaken on […]
