Excited to have our research on impacts of post-fire on nutritional quality in eucalypt forests for species such as the endangered southern #greaterglider and koala out this week in @elsevierconnect.bsky.social's Forest ecology and Management. Find the open access paper here: go.unimelb.edu.au/qjr2

After decades of research, our new book on the eucalypts of WA's goldfields has finally arrived! Designed, compiled and printed in Australia. Looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks of this one. For more information, sample pages and to order: www.dn.com.au/Eucalypts_of...

I recently gave a talk about Wilkerr (dingoes) at #ESA2025 (ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...). Many call them 'wild dogs' in S.A. Below the dingo fence they are to be _eradicated_, by law. But the only true wild dog I knew of was the legendary dachshund, Valerie. #DadJokes @ecolsocaus.bsky.social

Very happy to have my #drone photo of East Gippsland’s beautiful lowland mixed species eucalypt forests printed alongside other amazing photographers and ecologists in the new @csiropublishing.bsky.social ,Ecology Matters’. Launched at this year’s @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 conference!

Big thanks to @deannicolle1.bsky.social for generously showing us around his Currency Creek Arboretum this morning. What a wonderful and unique place to explore all the wonderful Eucalypts that are out there! Great way to wrap up @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 in #adelaide.

Grateful that I got to present some of my fire research on beautiful #KaurnaCountry at #ESA2025 Big thanks to the Gulbali Collaboration Kickstarter award for getting me here. #EcologicalSocietyOfAustralia #EcologyAustralia #BiodiversityOnTheBrink #Adelaide

Join us tomorrow (Wednesday 26.11) in the Gilbert Suite for three jam-packed sessions exploring and celebrating Australian Landscape Ecology at #ESA2025, starting at 10:30am!

Happy to be able to share that our work investigating the efficacy of thermal #drones for nocturnal #wildlife surveys is finally published in @esajournals.bsky.social Ecological applications: doi.org/10.1002/eap..... Find a summary in @theconversation.com here: theconversation.com/drones-with-...

@mandaloca2.bsky.social showing us that #dingoes have social networks too. Great talk on social interactions and drivers of population density of vulnerable Victorian dingoes at #iccb2025

At #ICCB2025? If you’re interested in #drones, arboreal #mammals and their recovery patterns in state #forests, I’d be keen to walk you through my poster! See me Monday at 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM in Great Hall 3 & 4 - Poster Board 32. Looking forward to catch up with friends and colleagues soon!

Out now: Our paper on deforestation risks across #newguinea led by Christoph Parsch with @biogeokreft.bsky.social and Bill Laurence. Another output of our fruitful collab between #unimelb and #unigoettingen doi.org/10.1016/j.sc...

I submitted some photos to this year’s #VicBioCon25 photo competition. If you like them, consider giving them a vote :) forms.gle/vzxiEycxEtwS...

Was great to talk about our research in windthrow yesterday at the Ecological Society of Australia conference and have some great chats with people about their own observations across Australia.

Dr Tom @itsnotfairman.bsky.social boldly convinces us that severe wind is an under-appreciated disturbance in SE Qld. He urges us to consider extreme wind events as opportunities to do conservation mngmt like thin woody thickening, restore habitats, and reintroduce cultural burns. #ESA2024

Hey #ESAus2024, if you're looking for more Aussie ecologists to follow here, there's some great people on the #WildOz starter pack below! 🦘🐨🌿🪲 Please suggest anyone else who's missing! 🙏 go.bsky.app/5hG9bGW

New #greaterglider research out, led by ARI’s talented Justin Cally. We looked into the effects of the large scale storm calamity in the wombat state forest in Victoria’s west on greater glider habitat: doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...

Guess who’s finally on Bluesky! Welcome Tom

Hello Bluesky!🦋 We'll be posting all our updates for #VicBioCon25 here, as well as continuing to post on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter- here's a behind the scenes shot of one of our social media team members hard at work!

The Ecological Society of Australia is here. Such a relief to have a platform for scientists to communicate with each other and the world more generally. @ecolsocaus.bsky.social

Our paper on global endemism in island plants is highlighted by @mongabay.bsky.social - many thanks for featuring this story! news.mongabay.com/short-articl... link to paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ecology #PlantScience #nature #plants #biology #science #research #conservation #island

A bit late to the game, but I participated in this collaboration of over 100 Australian ecologists, led by the amazing @dadriscoll.bsky.social on Biodiversity impacts of the 2019–2020 Australian megafires that was recently published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Biodiversity impacts of the 2019–2020 Australian megafires. In this massive collaboration, >100 Australian ecologists put a novel spin on meta-analysis to discover how fire frequency, interval, unburnt area, pre-fire drought and protected areas modify fire impacts.🌏 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

‘Catastrophic declines’: massive data haul reveals why so many plants and animals suffer after fire theconversation.com/catastrophic... Based on @dadriscoll.bsky.social et al.'s paper out now in Nature www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The condition of sites affected how severe impacts of the 2019-20 fires were. Most important was the number of preceding fires, with implications for prescribed burning🌏 The conversation theconversation.com/catastrophic... The paper www.nature.com/articles/s41... The video youtu.be/kCPjowmxH3Q
