@NYCuratrix @heru_hdk @LSU_MNS I had a great time seeing them @NYCuratrix! The NYC wildlife was very new for me 😄

[Monique Winterhoff @monlaria]

So excited to see my master’s research published! Thank you to everyone involved in this project - it was a incredible international collaborative effort from fieldwork to lab work to publication 💉🐀🇮🇩

[Monique Winterhoff @monlaria]

@Emily_Roycroft @unimelb @museumsvictoria Wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible expertise of all my wonderful coauthors! Thanks so much @Emily_Roycroft for all your support throughout my master’s and with the writing of this manuscript

@NYCuratrix @heru_hdk @MVBirds @MVMammals @Emily_Roycroft So excited to see it in print! Thank you so much @NYCuratrix for all your incredible expertise and being such a wonderful host supervisor while I was visiting your lab!!

@PhilipErm It is amazing up here! But certainly not as high as some alps you are near now!

So lucky to have the opportunity to do fieldwork in such an incredible place ❄️ #mountainpygmypossum #zoosvictoria #criticallyendangered

@SciEms Thanks! It is incredible up here!

Meet Kelly Speer—a new Ph.D. graduate of @RGGSatAMNH. She has investigated bat fly microbiome variation & how it may affect the ability of these parasites to transmit disease among bats. Read more: https://t.co/whAxnsEX1h🦇

My first paper (A field ecologist’s guide to environmental DNA sampling in freshwater environments) is published! *happy dance* https://t.co/KFC0826bJg @r_tingley @andrewrweeks #GAPS #GreatOzPlatySearch #eDNA #OA @platypusSPOT @enviro_DNA @unimelb @sdzglobal

Who gives a rat’s? There are 60 species of native Aussie rodents. Sadly, 30% of these face extinction. 10 are already extinct.

This ⁦@smh⁩ & ⁦@theage⁩ article asks - why don’t we care about native rodents as much as koalas? #StickieSeptember https://t.co/dsfSJzOOqP

[Monique Winterhoff @monlaria]

Spent an incredible day watching the release of captive breed #HelmetedHoneyeaters into the wild! Such amazing work by @ZoosVictoria, @ParksVictoria, @DELWP_Vic and all the volunteers who work with the program.

Happy #ThreatenedSpeciesDay 🌏

Helping save the mountain pygmy possum could be as easy as flicking a switch.

CEO of @ZoosVictoria Jenny Gray tells Jon Faine how.

We can all make a difference and help save this incredible species the #MountainPygmyPossum and their vital food source the #BogongMoth

Make sure to turn those unnecessary💡off so the lil’ moths can make their way home to the 🏔

[Zoos Victoria @ZoosVictoria]

❗️HELP❗️This spring, Mountain Pygmy-possums are facing the fight of their lives after Bogong Moth numbers have collapsed.

We’re asking south-east Australians to make one simple change: turn off unnecessary outside lights overnight. More ➡️ https://t.co/uQnQFI6G0T

Overwhelmed and honoured to win the Young Scientist Research Prize in Biological Sciences last night, from @RoyalSocietyVic. The standard of Victoria's ECRs was on show across all the talks, and it was a proud moment to be among an all-women line up of finalists! #WomenInSTEMM

[Monique Winterhoff @monlaria]

I may be a day late, but happy #WorldLizardDay. Here is an endangered #guthegaskink that’s been measured and weighed as part of vital conservation research by Dr. Zac Atkins. I am so proud to work on a team looking after the breeding program at #HealesvilleSanctuary @ZoosVictoria

[Monique Winterhoff @monlaria]

@Emily_Roycroft ancient DNA research suggests the currently extinct Gould's Mouse may be the same species as the extant Shark Bay Mouse. Sadly, the Shark Bay Mouse has suffered significant range collapse with only a small population on islands off the coast of WA

"Australia has lost millions of years of evolution in the last 200 years of rapid extinction." @Emily_Roycroft incredible genomic research highlights the genetic diversity we have lost through the extinction of our native rodent species
@RoyalSocietyVic @museumsvictoria @unimelb

[Monique Winterhoff @monlaria]

30 Australian mammals have gone extinct since European arrival. @Emily_Roycroft using DNA sampling of #museum collections of extinct rodent species to test what biological and environmental factors may predict risk of🐀extinction

[Dr Marissa Parrott @drmparrott]

Chuffed to receive my authors copy of @CSIROPublishing's beautiful new Saving the #TasmanianDevil book! I'm proud to have lead a chapter with our captive conservation partners. Looking forward to the launch in September! @ZoosVictoria @HoggCarolyn @KathyBelov #FightingExtinction

[Jane Melville AM @MVLizards]

Great new paper by my very talent PhD student Kirilee Chaplin in @systbiol on integrating genomics and ct scanning in species delimitation. @joanna_sumner99 @museumsvictoria #dragonlizards #taxonomy https://t.co/rsJcrS0vDg
