Pleased to say that my masters research has been published in @AnimalConserv. We examined the thermal suitability and occupancy of artificial dens for Leadbeater’s possum across habitat types and during temperature extremes

It's been a while in the making, but the paper from my masters has been published in @consbiog!
We paired SDMs with decision tools to direct surveys for the critically endangered Leadbeater's possum outside its range. https://t.co/CNEwC6Wpz4

Arboreal camera trapping can reveal a WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD of activity that we might ordinarily miss. Our latest paper showcased how the method has been used and provides tips to avoid common pitfalls ➡️https://t.co/VqhfzeL40t

Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve is a protected habitat that provides Lowland Leadbeater's Possums and Helmeted Honeyeaters the swampy vegetation they desperately need to survive in the wild. Thank you to all partners involved in protecting Victoria's faunal emblems!

[Sarah Rees @sarahrees]

Guess who’s turning 50? The iconic forest animal emblems of Victoria. The helmeted honeyeater and Leadbeater’s Possum have served as Victoria’s emblems for 50 years and warrant respect and protection. Stay tuned for a great 👍🏽 week of insights into their lives.
