New paper!

What determines the distribution of a #threatenedspecies, the brush-tailed phascogale, in a highly modified region?

It’s hovea time! These gorgeous teeny peas have amazing leaf variability and flowers with sweet subtle purple hues and my heart sings when they pop every year! Hovea heterophylla

THANK YOU @latrobe, who have denied permission for this 400+ year old tree to be removed. This #oldgrowthtree is integral #habitat which pre-dates European colonisation, with 26 hollows and regular use by #threatenedspecies including gang-gangs, swift parrots, gliders and more.

Australia, we have honey possums, they’re amazing, and you need to read about them, NOW! 👇

Guess who’s back, back again, #AusMammalOfTheYear is back, tell a friend!

1/3 I DID IT! The Governor in Council today published the Order to add the Fat-tailed Dunnart to the FFG #threatenedspecies List, officially listed as Vulnerable in Victoria. https://t.co/21GSwiRM26

Want to understand more about the #threatenedspecies listing process? What does #threatened or #endangered even mean, why does it matter and what happens next?

Amazing night searching for greater gliders in a stunning patch of forest near Blackwood #wombatforest We saw 4. Gayle and Trevor from #wombatforestcare do incredible work trying to protect these precious creatures from burns, from logging, from mining. @vnpatweets

[Dr Marissa Parrott @drmparrott]

Inspiring research from PhD student @SciclunaEmily - not only did she identify major concerns with the decline in dunnarts, she did something about it. Let's hope we see the Fat-tailed Dunnart listed soon to help focus conservation action! @VicBioCon #VicBioCon23 #conservation

#VicBioCon23 talks are underway! Thanks to this morning's great speakers across our three sessions - Terrestrial Ecology and Diversity 1 🦎, Invertebrate Ecology and Diversity🕷️, and Threatened Species and Communities 🐀

[Berenice Della Porta @BereniceDpg]

#Vicbiocon23 great talk by @JCat159 telling us how preserving trees on farms supports biocontrol on pastures by insectivorous birds

[Pia Lentini @pelentini]

Fabulous work by @jesslwtn showing that nest boxes on slopes, and attached to rough-barked eucalypts, are more likely to be occupied by brush-tailed phascogales #VicBioCon23

BREAKING NEWS:

An irregular sighting has been spotted on the radar tonight, moving quickly across the state.

We thought the White-bellied Whipbird was long extinct in Victoria — until a research team surveying the wilds of northern Victoria proved everyone wrong 🔊https://t.co/10zIJZxKmy #NationalLandCareProgram
