Nature enthusiasts are delighting in the bird's colourful appearance, with some joking that its red mask makes it look ready for Halloween.
- 2Climate change may threaten some eucalypt species' survival▼While some eucalypts are hard to kill, climate change may test the ability of others to survive
New commentary from Australian researchers suggests that while some eucalypt species are notoriously resilient and hard to kill, rapid climate change could push others beyond their ability to survive. The piece examines how rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns may test the limits of the iconic genus that dominates Australia's forests, warning that even hardy native trees face uncertain futures.

A new piece in The Conversation examines eucalypts, Australia's iconic trees. While some species are notoriously hard to kill, resprouting after fire and drought, others have narrower tolerances. The article argues that shifting rainfall patterns, rising temperatures and more frequent extreme events could push vulnerable eucalypt species beyond their limits, reshaping Australian landscapes and ecosystems.
