Moving species may be the only way to save some plants and animals from the impacts of climate change on their habitats, according to a group of researchers.  

Male and female crickets do better with different diets, though they are genetically programmed to have the same compromised tastes, research found.

Genetic imprinting, a process involved in fetal development, is identical in marsupials and humans and evolved 150 million years ago, according to research.

Researchers have found a way to breed faster-growing abalone, using genetic testing to find individuals with the best genes.

'Small technologies' such as nanobiotechnology will lead to important developments in medical science, according to Graeme Clark.

Australian researchers are studying the amazing dragonfly in order to provide new insights into visual control of flight.

Researchers have developed a model that predicts which size offspring will be favoured by evolution, and explains why humans favour one large child over many.

Climate change could alter coral reproduction by disrupting the signals that prompt a reef's simultaneous mass-orgasm, research has warned.

New coral evidence has suggested that ocean acidification is occurring faster than scientists expected, which could mean time is running out for many marine species.

Birds can use colour to identify the eggs of 'parasite' birds, such as cuckoos, from their own and eject them from their nests, new research has discovered.

Global warming could ensure the extinction of a prehistoric reptile, the threatened tuatara, by causing females to produce only male offspring, research has found.

Australian scientists have mapped the genome of a threatened shark genus, a breakthrough that will hopefully help ensure its survival.

Many introduced plants could become weeds, according to a new database that helps gardeners identify both 'weeds in waiting' and safe non-native species.

Research has found that new protection measures to be put in place in New Zealand will slow, but not stop, the decline of Hector's dolphin.

Discovery of an ancient landslide could destroy key evidence that climate change is happening simultaneously around the world.
