New research of northern elephant seals has revealed their reproductive and foraging success has been affected by a population bottleneck which nearly caused their extinction and could make them vulnerable as the environment changes in the future.

A national consortium involving researchers from Durham’s Biosciences department has secured £14 million UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funding to help advance the recycling of rare metals.

New research has revealed the hidden cultural histories of modern populations of fallow deer, dating back to the Neolithic period, which should be factored into decisions around their management and conservation.

We have launched a new Global Research Brochure where we shine a light on some of our incredible researchers who are making a difference in the world.

They may be tiny, but fruit flies have given scientists new insight into the genetic basis for rapid evolution of male external genitalia driven by sexual selection.

An international team of researchers have investigated the complexity and innovative evolutionary capabilities of carnivorous plants which capture insects.

Have you ever wondered how to deliver membrane proteins to pre-formed membranes? Take a look at our new nanoCRAFT system from the Centre for Programmable Biological Matter.

We are delighted to announce that Dr Rebecca Senior from our Department of Biosciences has been awarded the Founders' Prize by the British Ecological Society.

In a new study, leading scientists from our Department of Biosciences have found that local colonisation and extinction of European breeding birds are very weakly influenced by climate change.

Durham Centre for Crop Improvement Technology is one of the country’s leading centres for crop research, with a long-standing internationally recognised record of research excellence.

Dr David Weinkove, CEO and CSO of Magnitude Biosciences talks about ageing and recent funding success

Following on from a recent paper in Science Advances demonstrating that ubiquitin is a carbon dioxide binding protein in mammals, Harry Gannon and Martin Cann demonstrate in a new paper in BBA Advances that near atmospheric carbon dioxide also regulates plant ubiquitin cross linking.
