1st PhD paper just published, great start to 2024 😊
Interested in machine learning and using the genome to estimate life history traits, check it out!
Big thanks to the rest of the team!

Super important work building on @francis_thomsen ‘s 2019 work. Figuring out who is pollenating who is vital to managing ecosystems with a holistic lens. We need much more work in this area.

Congrats Josh Newton and @Curtin_TrEnD team, great #eDNA work here.
Can you get a photo of the Western Pygmy possum holding a flower like a juice box? That would melt the internet ...😂🌺

[TrEnD Lab @Curtin_TrEnD]

✨New Paper✨ First study to detect insects, mammal, and bird flower visitors using #eDNA. Including Western Pygmy possum! Congrats PhD candidate Josh Newton and coauthors 🥳 https://t.co/tNVu589SxP
