A gorgeous little fat-tailed dunnart from the Moon Plain near Coober Pedy. Despite looking about as barren as possible, there is still an amazingly diverse assemblage of animals out there!

New paper! Are subadult dispersers at high risk of mortality in translocated populations? This was my honours project so I’m glad to get it published in @AustralEcology
@EcolSocAus

It’s open access so check it out!

What happens when a threatened predator is reintroduced to threatened prey species?

Researchers from @UNSW and @AridRecovery have found a number of benefits to reintroducing western quolls, a native predator, into fenced conservation reserves.

Interesting choice of shelter by this female numbat. Nice and squished 🤔
Check out the little numbutt!

Probably one of the cutest little Australian native animals I’ve ever seen. Every time I see these little shark bay bandicoots I love them more and more.

Big thanks to @bilby_jack for having myself and my partner for last week at Secret Rocks

[Jack Bilby @bilby_jack]

@DrDunnart Congratulations!!

[Ben Stepkovitch @steppo94]

What happens when threatened predator and prey species are reintroduced together? Reintroduced western quolls @AridRecovery demonstrated a dietary preference towards other reintroduced species and native rodents.

So happy to have worked with Nature Foundation to develop a long-term population monitoring plan for the endangered Pygmy bluetongue lizard at the @naturefdnau Tiliqua reserve. Such a brilliant project on a brilliant species!

Listen to me ramble about these adorable little fluffballs and how climate change and fire might impact them

Yesterday's webinar marked a successful start to #AustralianWildlifeWeek. As we continue Day 2, we are delighted to present a highlight from the webinar: Jack Bilby, Dr Clive Williams Scholarship recipient, discussing his research on Bandicoots.

The Pygmy Copperhead (Austrelaps labialis) is found only MLR and KI in SA, making it the states only endemic snake species. Great to finally get to photograph this local endemic, especially right before I head back into the desert for the summer field season!

How you vote is totally up to you but we’ve decided to run a radio advertising campaign urging people not to fall for all the bullshit that’s being thrown around by the NO campaign. Just don’t let anyone treat you like a mug - if you don’t know, find out! https://t.co/iyZ5aArZfS

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Last year, 10 million observations of species were collected. New research shows 9.6 million of those came from citizen scientists.

It's enjoyable and valuable. Thanks to all the citizen scientists out there.

Do something positive and constructive for society, it’ll make you and others feel great (that’s a scientific fact), and it’ll change lives for the better.

📢Calling all #fieldecologists! 📢 I'm building a predator-prey interaction database for Varanids and Dasyurids so if you have any juicy snaps with location data please send them my way via email or my iNaturalist project! 🦎

Great to talk about my first year of my PhD at the Australian Mammal Society Conference #AMS2023
