(220809) -- CANBERRA, Aug. 9, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Photo provided by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) on Aug. 9, 2022 shows one of the two new species of weevils found in lava caves at Undara Volcanic National Park in Queensland, Australia. Australia's national science agency has revealed that it named and described more than 100 new species over the last year in a "win for biodiversity". Researchers from the CSIRO in Canberra identified 139 new species and described them in scientific journals over the last 12 months. The tally consists of 131 insects and invertebrates, four fish, three plants and one frog species, which include a species of ant that protects one of Australia's rarest butterfly species.

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) on Thursday released new research showing that testing for the rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) has expanded from fewer than 30 tissue samples annually to an average of 345 tested samples per year since the 2015 launch of the disease monitoring program. RHDV, also known as Rabbit Calicivirus or Lagovirus, is used as a biocontrol agent to manage feral rabbits, which are one of Australia's most destructive pest species. According to the CSIRO, feral rabbits cause plant diversity loss, compete with native animals for food and cost t

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) on Wednesday announced an 83 million-Australian dollar (55.5 million U.S. dollars) investment in developing and designing AquaWatch Australia. Using a network of sensors linked to satellites, AquaWatch will constantly check water quality in near real-time, supporting better management by providing early warnings of toxic algal blooms and runoff contamination. Larry Marshall, chief executive of the CSIRO, said the weather service for water could improve the resilience of communities that are dependent on healthy waterways.
