Using DNA Information to Breed for Disease-resistant Strawberries
O’Connor, K., Neal, J., Gomez, A., and De Faveri, J. (2022)
Strawberries are susceptible to many diseases that cause damage to leaves and fruit, such as powdery mildew. Many chemical sprays are used to control disease, but there is an industry, environmental and societal push to move away from fungi...
Optimising Facility Location and Sizing for Coral Aquaculture Production
Lippmann, R. B., Helmstedt, K. J., Gibbs, M. T., and Corry, P. (2022)
Active restoration is increasingly being seen as a viable method for reversing global coral reef decline in many locations. We assess coral aquaculture production as a restoration strategy to grow and deploy cultivated corals to specified r...
Boomerangs Shape Stone Tools in Ancient Queensland: Experimental Archaeology and Traditional Knowledge Reveal a New Function of the Most Iconic Indigenous Tool
Martellotta, E. F., and Craft, P. (2022)
Without a doubt, boomerangs are one of the Sunshine State’s symbols. But forget everything you know about their ‘returning effect’. Whereas returning boomerangs were only used for games and learning purposes, non-returning boomerangs ...
Testing Strontium for Estimating Weaning Ages: Implications for Marsupial Life History Reconstruction
Bharatiya, M., Smith, T. M., and Austin, C. M. (2022)
Documenting the transition from infant nursing to an adult diet can shed light on the reproductive strategies of mammals, including the enigmatic Diprotodon and other megafauna that once roamed Queensland. Concentrations of the trace elemen...
What Can Ancient DNA Bring to the Identification of Fallen Australian War Casualties? Pioneering Methodologies at Queensland-based Ancient DNA Facilities
Wasef, S., Bar, I., Mitchell, N., and Wright, K. (2022)
A fundamental problem in the identification of recovered Australian remains is that the current approach relies on forensic DNA methods developed for modern criminal casework, which are not suitable for degraded DNA. At the Griffith Univers...
Tidal Restriction Leads to Enhanced Methane Emissions in Tropical Australia
Cadier, C., Waltham, N., Canning, A., Scott Fry, S., and Adame, M. F. (2022)
In Queensland, tidal restriction of coastal wetlands alters their hydrological connection and creates freshwater-impounded wetlands, increasing methane emissions. We investigated greenhouse gas emissions from tidally restricted wetlands and...
Are Tropical Mountaintop Trees Constrained in Their Distributions by Physiological Limitations? Thermal Adaptation and Acclimation to Climate Change
Singh Ramesh, A. Cheesman, A. W., Crayn, D. M., and Cernusak, L. A. (2022)
Habitat suitability for most tree species restricted to the wet tropical mountaintops of Australia is predicted to decline with climate change. This is especially concerning because no available alternative habitat exists for species to mig...
