Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities

James Cook University College of Science and Engineering

Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more

Common genetic origins of visual and neurocognitive disorders

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration).
