It was such an honour to present my research at UTS! Thank you to @zoexiro.bsky.social and @ecologybrad.bsky.social for the invitation and to everyone who came to listen to my talk 🌿

🐝🌸 With climate change, many organisms are shifting their ranges, but some are shifting in the opposite direction to what we expect. Insightful and entertaining seminar by Inna Osmolovsky @innaosmol.bsky.social on "Climate Change and Shifting Interactions: Where Do Species Go from Here?"

Bearded dragon spotted during field teaching. Wonderful camo!

Spent the past month in Greece 🇬🇷 on holiday and visiting family. But surprised to see so many reminders of Aus (Eucalypts) planted on so many islands! (could they be contributing to the wildfires Greece is being ravaged by? So many questions!)

I'm still buzzing after an amazing day at the Sydney Science Trail, Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan! #NationalScienceWeek I had a great time talking to the community about how pollination ecologists study and conserve plants and their pollinators 🌸🐝🌼🪰🪻🦋 #STEMEducation #Pollination

NEW EPISODE of #FireEcology Chats! 🔥🎙️ Bob Keane joins Sky Biblin to discuss this rare opportunity to compare early post-wildfire data between areas with and without previous application of prescribed burning #SNFECO ⚡ Listen here: fireecology.org/feco-podcast...

Geochemical proof that Aboriginal Australians have been changing landscape-scale fire regimes (cooler, less-intense fires) for at least 11,000 years, and probably much longer doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Fuel moisture matters more for some species than for others. Cool stuff by Azaj Mahmud.

Happy World Bee Day! 🐝 This year's theme, "Bee inspired by nature to nourish us all", highlights the critical roles bees and other pollinators play in agrifood systems and ecosystem health. Here's a Lipotriches bee buzz-pollinating a Dianella flower (Wangal land). #worldbeeday #ozpollinators

Fantastic talk by Dr Juergen Knauer @juergenknauer.bsky.social, UTS Chancellor’s Research Fellow, on the global drivers of C3-C4 vegetation distribution

Very excited to see this paper out! Led by @schwilk.org, with @azhar06.bsky.social @ecologybrad.bsky.social @rachaelnolan.bsky.social @alefidelis.bsky.social @ioliverasmenor.bsky.social @dendromecon27.bsky.social @profalistairsmith.bsky.social bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Congratulations to all the UTS Environmental Sciences students who graduated today! Wishing you all the best for your next exciting chapter! 🌱🌳🌸🐝

Fascinating article in The Conversation by UTS marine ecologists Shauna Murray and Greta Gaiani: Mystery solved: our tests reveal the tiny algae killing fish and harming surfers on SA beaches theconversation.com/mystery-solv...

Excited to be attending Science Meets Parliament 2025 in Canberra. Kicked off this morning with insights from Bill Shorten around R&D investment and amplifying science within government policy #SMP2025

At the National Maritime Museum.

Such inspiring ecological research on plant flammability now being used to help reduce wildfire impacts. Great work Tim!

UTS’s pollination ecologist extraordinaire at ESA 2024, fantastic research Yvonne!

Great to see UTS’s Jonathan Webb presenting his incredible long-term reptile conservation research at #ESAus2024

Masterful talk today on phytoremediation by Megan Murray! I have many other photos of her slides, but you could just watch her being interviewed on Gardening Australia, by the one and only Costa! #ESAus2024 www.abc.net.au/gardening/ho...

Thysanotus tuberosus (Asparagaceae), common fringe-lily, spotted on my walk today.
