Terrestrial LiDAR data is all kinds of magic. This beauty is plot 60!

Come and hear about my work on bats & fire at @VicBioCon on Friday in the disturbance ecology session

@D0CT0R_Dave Exactly the vibe we went for: Lek and his little sister Abiotic (Abi)

@AmyThunig This is absolutely disgraceful behaviour. I'm sorry that you've been experiencing this

[Sandra Penman @shpenman]

@zlsteel Thanks Zack. I've enjoyed reading your work and am glad to hear that you're doing more in this space - it sounds really exciting

@ecologyofgavin There are SO many interesting fire talks, I've missed loads too!

[Sandra Penman @shpenman]

There's a large program of #fireecology talks at #ESAus23. I'll tweet what I can in this thread 🧵

Merinda Day-Smith has been examining grass species composition at the site & resulting fire behaviour. She found rate of spread and intensity is driven by veg structure (esp spp) & weather

Alan Andersen introduces the remainder of the session, taking about fire insights from the long-term fire experiment at the Territory Wildlife Park #ESAus23

#ESAus23 @martine_maron warns us about forgetting the mitigation hierarchy when we get "nature positive"!
Until we get this right, the more ambitious goals will be unachievable!

[Justine E Hausheer @justinehausheer]

How does wildlife utilize wombat burrows after gigafires? Great presso from @GLinley2 #esaus2023

[Holly Kirk (@hollykirk .bluesky.social) @HollyKirk]

#ESAus23 standing room only for @MeganVGood on measuring habitat restoration - helping landholders develop appropriate management plans for their patch... And learn how to monitor the impact of their management!

We shouldn't expect landholders to do EVERYTHING though.

@Nate_S_Anderson Thanks Nate! I can't tweet everything (esp tomorrow when I'll be a stress-bucket before my talk) but I'll do my best for the rest :)
