Are #southernelephantseals fussy eaters?

Check out the new #research published in @MEPS_IR by @AndreaCormackAu @TraceyLRogers from @UNSW looking at the diet male elephant seals.

New publication alert! See our research using detection dogs to detect oestrus in endangered Tasmanian devils below. Great work by lead author, Masters student Hannah Roberts, & the team from @ZoosVictoria and @latrobe uni!

We hope that by highlighting these findings, we can:
- better connect researchers to each other and their audiences
- encourage funding research in understudied topics
- better inclusion of researchers from a variety of countries
- encourage good reporting standards

[Dr. Samantha Burke @SammyMarineB]

Reviews could improve in transparency and reproducibility. Using pre-set criteria (Woodcock et al., 2014), we found systematic reviews incompletely reported important criteria. Additionally, coral health systematic reviews often didn’t publish data and code

[Dr. Samantha Burke @SammyMarineB]

Authors commonly cited coral reef conservation as a purpose for conducting the review. However, while coral reef papers are fairly well cited in academia, outside of academia, Altmetrics showed coral reviews don’t have good reach. In particular, few reviews were cited in policy

[Dr. Samantha Burke @SammyMarineB]

Authors of reviews were well-connected, though several isolated clusters existed outside the main network. Authors primarily affiliated with institutions in USA and AU, while countries like Maldives and Papua New Guinea were less represented.

[Dr. Samantha Burke @SammyMarineB]

Reviews were more often narrative over quantitative. Climate change and coral resilience were highly studied topics, while the role coral microbiomes play in health could use further study 🦠

[Dr. Samantha Burke @SammyMarineB]

Reviews of coral health empirical research have now accumulated, making it difficult to identify key topics. We synthesized 335 of these reviews in a systematic map, bibliometric analysis, and critical appraisal

📣New publication in @AER_ESE_BES! Mapping literature reviews on coral health: A review map, critical appraisal, and bibliometric analysis

We found research gaps, most studied topics, author networks, transparency (and more!) of coral health reviews 🧵

According to new research, kangaroo mothers become more social when caring for joeys.

🦘 While kangaroos may also form long-term relationships, Nora Campbell (@UNSW) found kangaroo relationships might be far more complex than previously thought. https://t.co/4whUgoLILw

❗️We are back - Moth Tracker launched for 2023 today!
If you think you've seen a Bogong Moth, take a photo & submit it to #MothTracker to help scientists help the Endangered Bogong Moth & Critically Endangered Mountain Pygmy-possum ❤️🦋🐭

So excited to participate in the Fringe Festival!

Come by The Bank in Newtown tonight at 6:30pm for a fun night of nerdy laughs! My previous show sold out, but this one still has a few tickets left if you missed the last one!

I hope to see you there! 🪸

Wasps have a reputation for aggression, stings & contributing little to society.

But we spent time training enthusiastic wasps to learn - we hope to convince you of their intelligence & value in pollination & biocontrol.

We found that pygmy right #whales are homebodies, forgoing long-distance migrations like many of their larger relatives

So grateful to have the privilege to present my work @AMSAconf alongside great speakers, researchers, and indigenous peoples

Thank you to all who attended! See my website for more info about my work, or come find me today for a chat about coral and synthesis

#AMSA2023

[Dr. Samantha Burke @SammyMarineB]

Incredible work as usual from @devilunni

Anna is an amazing communicator and has made devils my favorite terrestrial Australian predator/scavenger. Read why here!

[Dr. Samantha Burke @SammyMarineB]

Such a great start to #AMS2023

Thank you @AMSAconf organizers for such a great diversity of talks! Looking forward to the rest of the week

📣I’ll be presenting my work on coral health #SecondOrderSynthesis and #ResearchWeaving Thursday 11am in General #MarineScience session
