Basal axillary buds in pea are hydraulically connected to the stem but are protected during drought by osmotic adjustment Plants prioritise water allocation to tissues that support their survival and reproduction during drought, but little is known about their tissue-specific drought tolerance mechanisms.

We need to protect livestock & support graziers. We can do so without killing dingoes. Adequate & well-maintained fencing & the appropriate use of guardian animals (dogs/donkeys) is essential. A public reminder. Killing dingoes on public or private land, in NW Victoria, without a permit, is illegal.

'It killed everything': Scientist assesses fluid spills at NT fracking site Traditional owners and a scientist fear there have been more fracking fluid spills by gas companies exploring the Northern Territory's Beetaloo Basin.

Environmental harms of fracking at Beetaloo by Empire Energy & Tamboran are playing out exactly as Indigenous custodians feared #DontFrackNT

But NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro said her government was providing tough regulation

Trump’s war on climate science is pushing us into a dystopian future Withdrawing support for research and scrubbing climate data from US government websites has repercussions for Australia and the world. But there are ways around it.

There are native insects on every continent on earth – but just barely. Antarctica has only one, the flightless Antarctic midge. And survival there is all about the insect timing its lifecycle and being ready to take advantage of warm periods.

Newly discovered Australian frogs highlight dire limits of climate change adaptation Two newly discovered species of Australian frogs may be unable to adapt to the escalating impacts of climate change, raising urgent conservation concerns from scientists.

Another example of "we don't even know what we don't know."

Two newly recorded frog species in Australia are being pushed to higher elevations due to continental warming and drying. They are basically trapped in small high-elevation refuges as warming "moves" uphill. 🐸 🧪 🌏
