Super excited to announce that the research I did during my honours year is now officially published! I investigated how the microbiome in Tasmanian devil pouches changes during lactation 🦠 🧬
Thank you to everyone involved!

Cane toads are definitely not Australia’s favorite animal, but their high invasive potential is amazing to study genetics, evolution, and adaptation. Or at least that’s what I tried to sell at #GSA2024 this week. Do you think they bought it?

[Lucy Ockert @LucyOckert]

Had a great time presenting updates on my research and catching up with everyone at #GSA2024 this week! #Rollinstones

4/4 #BIGDATABEESUNSW

Global 🌎 collaboration and resource distribution is extremely important for the future 🔮 of our #amphibian friends. Both the destruction and conservation of #amphibians is in our hands. 🤲🏼

It’s time to spread the love 💚✨

One, two, skip a few… ⏩

Did you know there are actually THREE amphibian orders?! 🤯 We have the #frogsandtoads the #newtsandsalamanders, and the #caecilians.

All three orders are facing rapid declines, but are we saving those that need saving?🐸🫶🏼

After #bibliometricanalysis of publications from 1987-2022, here’s what we found 👀
📣 Research gaps exists among #amphibian orders😳
📣 Most species studied in publications are least concern
📣 Geographical 🌎 factors influence #amphibian research
