Modelling the spread of COVID-19
Forecasting the spread of COVID-19, including the likely number of undetected cases, is fraught and difficult, but a sense of the numbers is important for appreciating the challenges ahead
Sciences & Technology
Speeding natural selection in the name of conservation
A breeding experiment to genetically adapt quolls to resist toxic cane toads could lead to a new tool to help endangered creatures from corals to Tasmanian Devils
Environment
Move it or lose it: Exploiting genetic diversity to fight extinction
We need to think differently about species conservation
Environment
The genetic backburn
A counter-intuitive idea to introduce more of an invasive species in order to halt their spread. It might just work.
