A new study by researchers from the University of Sydney provides new insights into the behavior of juvenile crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS), a significant contributor to coral reef devastation in the Indo-Pacific region. The research, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, explores how chemical cues from their environment influence their movement and…
Primates, including humans, have larger brains than most other mammals, but why?

Corals play an essential role in ocean ecosystems, and like many organisms, they are under threat from climate change and other human activities. To better protect coral, it’s first necessary to understand them, in particular their reproductive life cycle, which only happens once a year. Corals play an essential role in ocean ecosystems, and like many…
