IMC12

12th International Mammalogical Congress, Perth, Western Australia July 2017. Advances in mammalogy in a changing world

[Paul Meek @Redfoxmeek]

Poor pangolins ball up to survive predation but not poaching #imc12

[Greta Frankham @GretaFrankham]

Carly Waterman discussing the worlds most trafficked #mammal, pangolins at #IMC12 #illegalwildlifetrade #wildlifecrime

[Anna MacDonald @Dr_AnnaM]

#IMC12 @consecology: seedlings grown in spoil from diggings grow faster, taller, wider & have more mycorrhizal fungi than in undug soil

[Rob Davis @Dr_Rob_Davis]

Fantastic work by @consecology - plants grow faster and bigger in spoil heaps from bandicoot diggings! #IMC12

[Anna MacDonald @Dr_AnnaM]

#IMC12 @consecology: small diggings cover nearby leaf litter w soil - changes litter decomposition rates & structure - may reduce fuel loads

[Kevin C Rowe @MVMammals]

#imc12 @DrTeethAl showing that inhibition improves coordination, at least in teeth and occluding triplets

[Anna MacDonald @Dr_AnnaM]

#IMC12 @consecology Australia's digging mammals are more likely to be of conservation concern = loss of ecological function across Australia

[Rob Davis @Dr_Rob_Davis]

@consecology - loss of digging mammals has had a profound influence on Australia's ecosystems #IMC12. Rabbits are not surrogates.

[Anna MacDonald @Dr_AnnaM]

#IMC12 @consecology: research suggests that rabbits are not ecologically equivalent to native digging mammals

[Moreno Di Marco (m-dimarco.bsky.social) @m_dimarco]

7tons pangolin scales shipped from Nigeria to China in May17 shows global "scale" of the pangolin crisis @carly_waterman @PangolinSG #imc12

[Greta Frankham @GretaFrankham]

Carly Waterman highlighting the need to develop reference databases for #wildlifeforensic science on Pangolins #IMC12

[Judy Dunlop @Judy_Dunlop]

Loss of diggers across AU has had big impacts on fire, flora and soils, and diggers more likely to be endangered #imc12

[Louise Durkin @louisekdurkin]

Marissa Parrott @drmparrott: 100% breeding success of released Mountain Pygmy Possum females! Nice work @ZoosVictoria #IMC12

[Harry Moore @Harryymoore]

Quendas move up to 4000kg of soil a year. Get out. #imc12 @consecology @EuanRitchie1 @TimDoherty_

[Amanda McLean @amandaLmclean]

#IMC12 mice restricted to marshes found to eat a range of plants, don't assume you know what a species needs before you study it! Smith

[Dr Jackie Courtenay @jackiecourtenay]

#imc12 @consecology Fantastic summary of the effects of #quenda diggings on water infiltration, nutrients, litter size/decomposition & more

[Genevieve Hayes @GenevieveLHayes]

Carly Waterman highlighting the plight of the amazing pangolins #imc12

[💧Delma 🐦 @delmaclifton]

Importance of citizen science @michellepower - Michelle Power #imc12

[Anna MacDonald @Dr_AnnaM]

#IMC12 @LeighAnnWoolley Australia has experienced decades of mammal declines, but until 10 years ago we thought Northern Territory was ok

Last coffee in #Perth & heading back to Sydney! Bye #IMC12 it was great. Thanks Perth & the original inhabitants for their beautiful land
