Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Australian Wildlife Conservancy sits in it, in the colour of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no average mark, because the average differs by field (from about 6% in Dentistry to 21% in Economics).

Which fields of science does Australian Wildlife Conservancy work in?

In 2022-now, 64% of research at Australian Wildlife Conservancy is in Physical Sciences, 22% in Life Sciences. Its largest fields are Environmental Science (61%), Agricultural and Biological Sciences (11%), Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (8%). It does 1.6× the world's share of Physical Sciences.
