OZBONEPROT: New protein sequences for Australian marsupials with applications to zooarchaeological and palaeontological samples.

Sofia C. Samper Carro (ANU and ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage); Vera Weisbecker (Flinders University); Sue O’Connor (ANU and ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage). New biomolecular approaches are rapidly increasing the zoological information that can be retrieved from archaeological and palaeontological sites. Palaeoproteomics, the study of ancient proteins […]

Assembling the genome of rātā Moehau and applications for other NZ Metrosideros.

Jessie M. Prebble (Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research). The 12 Metrosideros native to Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ) are facing a growing number of threats, particularly since the arrival of myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) in 2017. Despite their iconic status (e.g. Pohutukawa M. excelsa known as the AoNZ Christmas tree) we have surprisingly little genetic data to help us understand how

Coccygidium? I hardly know ’em: A taxonomic revision of the genus Coccygidium throughout Australia. 

Tareva-Chine C. Atkin-Zaldivar (The University of Adelaide); Erinn P. Fagan-Jeffries (The University of Adelaide and South Australian Museum). Coccygidium is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, that despite being recorded as present in Australia in a 2010 publication no Australian species have been described. Overseas, the genus is most notably being trialled as
