Western Australia's stunning and diverse landscapes are home to an incredible array of invertebrate species. To help uncover and document this biodiversity, the innovative WA Bug Barcode Blitz program has emerged. As part of National Science Week, this program engages students and the community in STEM learning experiences and deepen their understanding of global diversity loss.

Read MoreImagine being stranded on a desert island in the middle of nowhere, having to survive off whatever you can find. Now picture an extreme level where there are no plants, animals, oxygen, and very little sunlight. Well, this daunting scenario is what space-faring humans will face as we start to settle on the moon, Mars, and beyond.
Read MoreAGRF has worked alongside James Cook University researchers to be part of the first ever successful effort to map the genome of an iconic Australian seafood species: the Australian black tiger prawn. As well as providing the blueprint of the creature, this mapping may lead to larger, healthier and more disease-resistant prawn crops in the future.
