Rainfall and temperature predicts bird colouration, study finds
An international study led by a Monash ornithologist has found variation in rainfall and temperature can affect the colours of birds. The study provides a new framework that can be used to understand how future changes in climate will affect animals.
Monash scientists discover key to predicting fitness of birds

An international study led by Monash biologists has found that the length of a baby bird's telomeres, the DNA caps that protect chromosomes, can predict its future fitness.
Researchers shed new light on the pulse of plate tectonics
Monash researchers have shown for the first time that the melting of rocks within the Earth’s continental crust occurs in ‘pulses’.
Melbourne and Adelaide night temperatures amplified by heatwaves, study finds
As if the daytime heatwave temperatures weren’t bad enough, Melbourne and Adelaide residents will also have to put up with nightly temperatures significantly higher than surrounding rural areas thanks to amplification caused by the ‘urban heat island effect’.

The largest mass extinction of all time began with forest ecosystem collapse, study finds
World-first international research involving a Monash palaeontologist has provided new new insights into what caused the biotic crisis known as the ‘Mother of all Mass-Extinctions’ or the ‘Great Dying’, in which up to 96% of marine species and 70% of land vertebrate species became extinct.
