Top explanation A and Anna, and such interesting and important results.@GretelMajor @callaghanct

[Heredity @HeredityJournal]

Kamolphat Atsawawaranunt and Anna Santure discuss how they have used diverse samples of common myna DNA to trace its introduction history from the native range across its invasive distribution in the Pacific.

Very proud of @GreteMajor’s celebrity status as she finishes her PhD in bioengineered transplants post-#mastectomy and raises funds for her Antarctic #WomenInSTEM leadership program https://t.co/p5KeqZD42Y . Following her mentors @DrRebeccaJ @jodirowley @callaghanct @Wingtags

@strom_m @smh Good point. But why isn’t this something that political journalists are pursuing with both sides during the NSW election campaign? I’d love to see some plastic recycling policies instead of demerit point recycling policies.

Please give Gretel a helping hand: https://t.co/J2qMEmXXDN

New research reveals that a cockatoo flipping a bin-lid is a far more significant behaviour than first thought - watch out for these clever cockies!

[Australian Geographic @ausgeo]

The world-first research proves our cockies learn the unique bin-opening behaviour through social learning.

Although restricted to a 15 square kilometre island in the Southwest Pacific Ocean, populations of the endangered Lord Howe Island Woodhen are still maintaining social distancing! @austmus @AnimalConserv

@eurekaprizes @FrogIDAus @austmus @ScienceGovAu Well done Jodi et al!

[Corey Callaghan @callaghanct]

But birders driving around comes at a cost (e.g., carbon emissions). We did find that, in general, most birders would be willing to donate money to NGOs, in order to view vagrants, suggesting that there are conservation fundraising options that could be explored! #conservation

[Corey Callaghan @callaghanct]

On #WorldBiodiversityDay, its important to understand the unique values people derive from nature. We demonstrated (https://t.co/TQilmzFuVD) how #birders and #twitchers value #biodiversity. Vagrant Aleutian Terns in Old Bar, NSW in summer 2017/2018 generated >$200,000 AUD!

Hey @ChrisBathTV @CostasGarden @Wingtags @CitSciOZ @SydneySCB @abcsydney @Twitchathon @HabitatStepping @MagpiejonesD @dieterhochuli @frenchkris007 @NoisyMajor @thehabitatguru Pls retweet - and see many (all?) of you there!

[Corey Callaghan @callaghanct]

(1/7) What makes an urban bird? How do we define just how 'urban' a particular species is? Some species, like this Noisy Miner, are clearly well-adapted to exploit urban areas! We address this #ornithology question in a recent paper in @Oikos_Journal: https://t.co/catisQplcK

[Dr John Martin @Wingtags]

Listen to Dr Barbara Klump talking with @ChrisBathTV on @abcsydney about the Cockatoo bin-opening survey

Please help us map bin-opening by reporting whether you "have" or "have not" observed this behaviour: https://t.co/4Ojo6vMk4E
