One of the best parts of #ESASCBO2022 was the tote bag designed by @paperbark_ capturing the floral and faunal diversity of Dharawal land and sea where the conference was held 🌱

How can we make the #TSBakeOff more effective at raising awareness about threatened species? Post on Instagram! Not just our Twitter echo chamber. Diversify species, not just the popular ones everyone knows about 🐨 @BambiraptorF #ESASCBO2022

Incredible talk (as always) by @elsakohane this morning! Such a clear and concise presentation about the often overlooked nuance of bat box use.

We still don’t completely understand bats’ preferred boxes, but we do know they prefer them well maintained! 🦇

Green roofs have many benefits but how placed in the landscape and at what scale matters! Great work by @JuliaSchiller10 at #ESASCBO22

What animals are interacting with brush-turkey incubation mounds? Check out my presentation at #ESASCBO2022, Monday 2pm in the Pacific Room, to find out more!

Rapid creek you special ✨
Can you believe this is literally in suburban Darwin? 🌅

[Dieter Hochuli @dieterhochuli]

Curious? Want me-time? A meetup? Life needs more drama? Some self-care? Or just want something to do?
So many good reasons to get out and spend some time with nature near you... choose one that works for you!

Brilliant to hear more about the wonderful world of ticks, the animals they bite, and how @AlexanderGofton and team are discovering more about their pathogens (lucky many of these ticks don’t often bite us) #RZSNSW22 @rzsnsw

The @BushHeritageWA mid-west monitoring surveys have kickstarted and this morning we were treated to a mob of these adorable ash-grey mice! 😍

OBIT 🧵

Daisy Boo Biscuit Potter today departed for the great litter tray in the sky, aged 18.

Daisy was voted ‘objectively worst cat in the world’ 3 years running, and her hobbies included vomiting and ignoring us.

Creatures surround us in our urban environments. All we have to do is look carefully. Professor @dieterhochuli shows us a living world right on our doorstep. 🪰🦋🦜 #shirtloadsofscience @UrbanFieldNats

Found a few Yellow-footed Antechinus on a farm near Holbrook this morning. If you’re quiet they can be pretty confiding. Volume up to hear this one peeling bark to find a snack underneath. I think you can even hear it nomming! #WildOz

[Matthew Hall @EcoMatt94]

New natural history note out in @AustralEcology! Brush-turkeys have been spreading in suburban Sydney for well over a decade. We catch them in the act using #CitizenScience, observing tagged birds moving 8-37km on foot through the urban landscape!

Odour is everywhere (a thread)! Many animals exploit #odour to find food, avoid threats, and attract or judge potential mates. Our new paper in @AIBSbiology focuses on odour in terrestrial ecosystems to introduce the concept of an #olfactorylandscape. https://t.co/XSO0Fav7p6
