Here is an awesome article about my latest research paper, Resting disparity in quoll semelparity. This article covers my experience in the field and what it was like working with these feisty marsupuals.

Blessed to have a 2nd publication from my PhD (chapter 3). This is an incredible study, using accelerometers to explore behaviors of cryptic animals. We show that males just don't seem to be resting during their breeding season which could lead to symptoms resulting in death.

Our paper on #quoll behaviour during the breeding season is finally out in the #royalsocietyopenscience @RSocPublishing . We explore if sleepless behaviour could explain male die-off following breeding. @JGaschk @KaylahDelSimone @drrobbiewilson

Loved my opportunity to speak at the 37th meeting of @anzscpb! Great community of comparative physiologists!

@JGaschk with an excellent talk from his #phd on behaviour in northern #quolls measured using #accelerometers. Male quolls die (females survive) following the breeding season perhaps due to a lack of sleep! @ResearchUSC_AU #anzscpb2022

My first chapter from my PhD, so excited for it to get published!! An interesting perspective on relationships between invasive and native species. We examined timelines, diets, occurrence and top speeds to identify key relationships. @usceduau

Invasion vs extinction timelines in #australianfauna. But not all species went extinct! Our paper in #CSIRO's Aust. J. Zoology tries to build up pairs of invasive predators vs native prey, to figure out what makes prey venerable. @ResearchUSC_AU @JGaschk https://t.co/UVNTO3JmGH

Some awesome research to come out of the biomechanics and robotics lab!

What limits turning ability with size? We put 20 dogs through their paces, showing medium sized dogs were the best at turning. Long forelimbs and short hindlimbs help too. Thanks to #ADCQ @TinaHaagensen @JojoMimic @JGaschk @J_Exp_Biol

Calling all comparative biologists in Australia. There is still time to register for the #ANZSCPB conference in Canberra Dec 11-13th. We are really keen to get early career researchers and students along (Student grants are available!
