Want to know where to build a fence and what mammal species to put in there ? Our new paper is a handy guide for picking where to put conservation fences to conserve all Australia’s threatened mammals https://t.co/rZJTL6cN2H #ecrpaper#365papers#teammammal@bode_e@TSR_Hub
@justinehausheer When Megs and I moved to Hawaii we went with the strategy of "just have travel insurance all of the time and if one of use gets sick abandon our jobs and go home". University of HI has no health cover plan for international students/employees.
@marquetry28 @DrJudyDunlop We've been having a chat at the field station and we' aren't sure either, I might be in subsequent articles. However, in the revised version of "Mammals of Australia" this is apparently what they will be referred to as for their common name.
@DrJudyDunlop inspired release video. And with that the bandicoots formerly known as western-barred #jasperfordee were returned on Dirk Harthog Island. Now make all the babies! #returnto1616#dbca_science
@MJ_donotreply @DrJudyDunlop Precise release site is under wraps while they establish. Fingers crossed in a few years they will have spread around the entire island for everyone to enjoy.
We can safeguard all Australia’s most at-risk mammals - a how to shopping list for where to build predator exclusion fences to do it cost-effectively and fast https://t.co/b7fhp5BZAM… #threatenedspecies#teammammal@bode_e@TSR_Hub@SarahMLegge
@EuanRitchie1@bode_e There is also many interactive terms (mentioned by others in this thread). You would have to conduct hundreds of trial translocations before you would have a sufficient dataset. Better to do this strategically to fill gaps in existing data rather than opportunistically. 2/2
@EuanRitchie1@bode_e The ones the are persisting at reduced densities are, study those ones.
Nothing wrong with conducting translocations with learning objectives rather than recovery objectives. But if learning objective could be achieved in a cheaper way do that instead. Money is tight. 1/2
