Press release, 04-10-2023 Amphibians Protection of Species Extinction of Species Climate Change Investing in amphibians means investing in the future of our planet Amphibians remain the most threatened group of vertebrates and climate change emerges as major driver of amphibian declines globally Press release, 02-06-2023 Protection of Species Biodiversity Genetics Plants Sex with ‘invaders’ is small threat to British bluebells Protection of Species Biodiversity Genetics Plants Press release, 02-06-2023 Species that migrate from other areas represent one of the five major threats to biodiversity conservation. Their migrations are monitored as closely as possible around the world to conserve native ecosystems and their resident species.Long standing British speculation that the native bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) could be wiped out as a result hybridisation with rampant ‘invaders’ from the Iberian Peninsula appears to have been unnecessary. New research* indicates that the genetic threat to H.

The new approach requires minimal low-cost materials and is simple enough to be carried out by everyone at the site of discovery and complements the scientific expertise of researchers. Press release, 09-08-2019 Amphibians Protection of Species Research Morphology Ecosystem Apprehensive Giants, the world largest frog species cares for its offspring A team of Cameroonian and German researchers, led by scientists from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, now discovered that the largest frog species of all, the Goliath Frog provides parental care, building ponds for its eggs and tadpoles. Press release, 05-08-2019 Protection of Species Extinction of Species Evolution Research Cluster Ecosystem Birds From the moa to the kakapo: millions of years of evolution lost or under threat in New Zealand New study shows that it would take 50 million years to recover the bird diversity lost since humans arrived in New Zealand. A further 10 million years of evolution are under threat. Press release, 29-03-2019 Amphibians Protection of Species Extinction of Species Research Research Cluster Cooperation Mass amphibian extinctions globally caused by fungal disease An international study has found that a fungal disease has caused dramatic population declines in at least 501 amphibian species including 90 extinctions, over the past 50 years.
