The dead animal specimens that comprise natural history collections contribute a lot toward scientific understanding of their still-living counterparts – and those that have gone extinct.
Species facing the blitz of accelerating, human-driven change don’t always cope well. Birds are among the most visible windows into this world of vulnerability.
The Great Barrier Reef is home to some 1,600 species of bony fish, 130 sharks and rays, and turtles, mammals and more. Most have had no population monitoring, meaning we don’t know how well they are faring.
The top 10 new species for 2015 include a crop-circling fish, a murderous wasp, and an animal that’s got scientists confounded.
In areas vulnerable to sea level rise and storm surges, developments are at increasing risk of inundation and permanent damage over coming years.
It is important that co-operative approaches are found to conservation as the natural environment knows no political boundaries.
There’s a battle going on in your garden between invasive and valuable domestic pollinators. Here’s how to tilt the fight in favor of our humble bumble bee.
Insects are largely hidden from view or maligned unfairly, but they make a tremendous contribution to the Australian economy.
Humans have wiped out 13% of the world’s plants and animals species, according to a new study.

On Christmas Day 1859, the Victoria Acclimatisation Society released 24 rabbits for hunting, to help settlers feel more at home. Given the millions of dollars in damage to agricultural productivity that…
Should nuclear energy be part of Australia’s (and many other countries’) future energy mix? We think so, particularly as part of a solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent dangerous climate…
New York is one of many cities whose mythical allure claims that the streets are paved with gold. Sadly, you are more likely to be treading on – or at least wading through – the remains of burgers, hot…
