Very happy to share that my first paper of my Masters has officially been published with @Dr_Rob_Davis. Unfortunately it’s a sad tale, but here’s a picture from one of our cameras on West Wallabi Island, and the link if you wish to check it out:

An honour to be able to attend the graduation of the talented @RyanCarterECU from the @WildlifeLab recently. Ryan did an amazing masters thesis on the threatened Abrolhos Painted Button-quail and is already applying his ecological skills in industry. Well done Ryan.
The Abrolhos Painted Button-quail has been federally up-listed from vulnerable to endangered, partly as a result of work we did that showed the extinction of one of the three island populations. We must avert future extinctions.

Abrolhos painted button-quail species threatened by predators, rainfall decline. Great @abcnews piece on @RyanCarterECU recent paper. https://t.co/VmBojXHr7Z
Fantastic news to wake up to. @RyanCarterECU a @WildlifeLab masters student got his first ever paper accepted - and in an excellent journal. The most rewarding part of my job is seeing the success of our students. Watch this space for future details on a sad but important study.
A rare new gin today. Abrolhos Gin in celebration of @RyanCarterECU ongoing masters on the Abrolhos Painted Button-quail. Using saltbush and samphire found on the islands and as blue as the surrounding waters. With a super rare home-grown sudachi lemon for added flavour.
The adventure begins. Today marks the start of our field season surveying the endangered Abrolhos Painted Button-quail. First stop North Island. Conditions clear and still for a safe flight across a sparkling Indian Ocean.
@RyanCarterECU is studying an isolated population of the Painted Button-quail, situated on the Hout Abrolhos archepelago, apprx 60 km off the coast of Western Australia. Why is is important to study this remote population, and how does he collect data? https://t.co/JJLkkeZpAJ
Our Kakapo paper just came out. Very hard work from this team. So proud to be part of this amazing study. https://t.co/D5J18Sbpgf one of our first/pioneer VGP genomes! @genomeark
Ryan Carter of @EdithCowanUni talks us through his studies of the Painted Button-Quail! This beautiful and rare bird has an extinction likelihood of 77%. Ryan and his team study threats to this bird on the Houtman Abrolhos and work out how to decrease such threats. #NMWATSF2021
