🎉CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, @NarrapR, Rhys Coleman (@MelbourneWater), Michael Shawn-Fletcher (@Melb_Palaeo) & our very own Joe Greet @jgreet81 on your successful ARC Linkage grant:

Traditional Owner-led Restoration of Urban Billabongs

Such an exciting project!

[Chris Jones @chsjones]

New paper led by Vanja Kitanovic! We are continuing to assemble the puzzle of managing river flows for vegetation. Plants are much more tolerant of winter inundation #ARIScience @The_WERG @jgreet81 @S_A_McKendrick check it out here https://t.co/AogoA3GWUA

[Megan Good @MeganVGood]

Such a fantastic piece of work by a bunch of cool peeps. An example of a simple framework for making sense of and designing effective monitoring programs!
Nice one @LibbyRumpff @chsjones @freyamthomas @HannahSFraser @Elliot_Gould_ and co.

@HeardGW @freyamthomas @louisekdurkin Thanks @HeardGW ! Yes it was huge! Massive arms, just loitering in the yard. A lucky spotto!

[Chris Jones @chsjones]

Away for a much needed tree-scape with @freyamthomas and we found some frogs, possibly a little Eastern Common Froglet and huge Striped Marsh Frog? Bunyip, VIC. @HeardGW @louisekdurkin

[Joe Greet @jgreet81]

Our new paper demonstrates that warmer water exacerbates the impacts of flooding on plants, highlighting the adverse implications of flow regulation and climate change on riparian plants: https://t.co/EV71lki4BA Great work Alanna @chsjones @dr_lyndsey! @The_WERG @AusFreshwater

Thankfully my head knock this week hasn't resulted in any ongoing concussion symptoms, but it got me thinking that the women's peloton has seemed to have more instances of bad head injuries than the men's. Turns out there is some science behind that... https://t.co/RZcVjt9K2r

[Chris Jones @chsjones]

How do you compare ecological data from two different datasets? There are many options and we go through a few in detail in this new paper. @pveski @daviddotduncan https://t.co/rzpvZVkcCk

#FrogIDWeek starts this Friday! Plan your adventures, charge your head torches, and most importantly record your local #frogs as often as you can with the @FrogIDAus app!! 🐸❤️

Do you interact with stormwater-related activities in any way (in Victoria)?

We’re interested in how Victorians understand their ‘general environmental duty’ and the ‘state of knowledge’ of stormwater mgt

[Joe Greet @jgreet81]

Oh, this does sound like fun! If you love rivers, plants, and doing fun research (like I do), you might want to consider this great PhD opportunity :-)

[Chris Jones @chsjones]

New PhD opportunity! Do you love plants? Do you want to learn how their reproduction and recruitment are affected by river flows? Do you want your work to inform management? Then apply for this PhD with @jgreet81 @The_WERG and me #ARIScience https://t.co/P0EKeaXGQS

[Chris Jones @chsjones]

@GLBrown321 @LaCoursebyTDF Yay!!! Go Grace! Very excited to watch the action.

Bushfires can be dire for vulnerable species so people step in to help. Check out how ecologists from the Arthur Rylah Institute re-homed Glenelg freshwater mussels in aquariums after the 2020 fires as insurance against population loss. #BushfireRecoveryAU #ARIscience
