UQ Ecological Society

A UQ student-run society focused on ecological science. We have regular seminars, workshops, socials, and camping trips!

Such a privilege to yarn with Mike Pingleton and Dr Alex Krohn on all things acid frogs, Wallum ecosystems, and the ecophysiology of pobblebonks... Thanks guys🐸

Hey everyone!
We have come up with some winter events with the hope to see some really cool animals! The dates are yet to be confirmed but you can check out the selection of events and the month we hope to hold them on our website https://t.co/bN6kBq6Zmo

Not herp related, but as we transition into an ecological society, I thought many of you would be interested in the sea monters exhibition on at the QLD museum!

Did you know Archelons are the biggest turtles to ever live? The largest found was a whopping 4.6 metres head to tail. That's taller than two humans standing on shoulders! 😮 Dive into Sea Monsters: https://t.co/BHTiCHK1TN #SeaMonstersQM #qldmuseum

@DeadlyScience have sent our herpetology calendar to mob in WA and NT! Thanks again everyone for your support!

Behold, the bedazzled potato of the frog world, the Crucifix #Frog (Notaden bennettii). 😍

Seeing and hearing this frog again was my slightly belated new years celebration. #WildOz

[UQ Ecological Society @UQecol]

This is pretty cool!

[UQ Ecological Society @UQecol]

Awesome paper by a good friend.

@Rebecca89625636 @DeadlyScience Unfortunately, it looks like it would end up being quite expensive. The cheapest delivery to the states for the weight of the calendar is $13.50. This is excluding tracking and with a delivery estimate of 25+ buisness days. This would make it $23.50 AUD in total.

[UQ Ecological Society @UQecol]

Our 2021 calendars are here and we have sold 35 already! For every calendar bought, one calendar is donated to the charity @DeadlyScience. Email: [email protected] to get yours. $10 each at UQ or pay an extra $4.80 for postage

[UQ Ecological Society @UQecol]

@Rebecca89625636 @DeadlyScience Hey Rebecca, we haven't really thought about that as we were not sure how popular they would be internationally. The calendars are $10 AUD and I can look into how much it would cost to post to the states and get back to you. Thanks!

Box-patterned Gecko (Lucasium steindachneri) from St. George, QLD last month. Gotta love lizard tongues! #WildOz

I'm sure some of you can relate to this!

Citizen science is a good way to engage people in the natural world and can shed light on fundamental conservation issues.

[Jodi Rowley @jodirowley]

Citizen science is fundamentally shifting the future of #biodiversity research.

This recent paper, led by @callaghanct, sheds light on three frontiers of citizen science research. #citscioz #citizenscience

Pretty cool site to keep track of the species you have found and educate other people around the world on where to find these species!
