Measuring the Impact of Fire Regimes on Animal Species
View
A study by School of Biological Sciences researchers and published in Biological Conservation has shown that anthropogenic and natural fire regimes have the capacity to affect the genetic patterns of animals. The findings highlight the importance of integrating genetic research into fire ecology to ensure that conservation management decisions are well-informed.

Using Genome Science to Support Endangered Species
View
A School of Biological Sciences research team was awarded more than $720,000 in Australian Research Council Linkage grant funding to investigate how genome science can be used to support preservation of four endangered species in changing climates and apply these learnings to help other species to survive and thrive. The funding was expected to contribute to larger, healthier populations of the endangered species, new ways of saving other species, and the provision of important resources for conservation managers.

Saving the Helmeted Honeyeater
View
The School of Biological Sciences is collaborating with Zoos Victoria to conduct a genetic rescue program for the helmeted honeyeater, a critically endangered bird, by breeding members of the remnant population with a subspecies from Gippsland. This program aims to enhance genetic diversity and fitness of the species, which has suffered due to inbreeding and environmental changes.
