Congratulations to PhD candidate Tessa Manning on her phascogale sperm storage publication in Australian Mammalogy
www.publish.csiro.au
We present a case of extended sperm storage in a female red-tailed phascogale (Phascogale calura) during a trial reintroduction in 2022. Parentage reported by single nucleotide polymorphism genotyp...

One of our very own will be speaking about her journey in science! Be sure to come along if you can, it should be a great event🧬.
Mark your calendar as we eagerly await for our next panel event. Join us as we welcome four professional women in STEM share their journeys in science and answer all your questions. Afterwards, we will be serving food at the UniBar as an opportunity for networking.

Colourful fungi from New Zealand are adapted for bird dispersal - but do they now remain as ghosts of past mutualisms, much like the large tropical fruit once eaten by gomphotheres? New @MarsdenFund research.

With no land mammals to eat and disperse them, New Zealand’s truffle-like fungi mimic fallen fruit to attract birds. But with so many of those birds now extinct, can ecosystems adapt?

Aotearoa-NZ’s unique fauna provides a fascinating opportunity to explore how plants and fungi interact with the sensory systems of animals.
