Australian governments are failing to conserve biodiversity, meaning their extraordinary values are being lost and global conservation targets will likely fail. The next federal government must do better. My letter with @biodiversityguy.bsky.social in @science.org. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Thrilled to see our paper out in @nature.com! Huge thanks to @cegrueber.bsky.social @katefarquharson.bsky.social & the core team for a mammoth effort over 6yrs! Privileged to work with 57 scientists who spent many hours screening papers & more. Missing the late Mike Bruford-who helped inspire it all

The Tasmanian tree frog (Litoria burrowsae), a now rare frog that breeds in isolated pool deep in the heath. So awesome to find! #WildOz

@annacresswell.bsky.social is convinced I use the 100’s of tea strainers I buy to capture pygmy possums. This photo suggests it might just be possible!

New research! Authors examine camera trapping trends in Australia, finding strong taxonomic, geographic, and analytical biases, but also new ways to meet big conservation objectives. Great stuff! Glad to play a very small part. Congrats Tom and WildObs! ⚡️ www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Extinction of experience among ecologists
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

One of the best things about Perth is that you can normally order an oat flat white <150m from a weedy seadragon #WildOz

How good are WA Christmas Trees/Moojar (Nuytsia floribunda)? These ones near Denmark just left me in awe at their fiery otherworldly brilliance.

I've recently been trialling some thermal binoculars to help with creature tracking. Pretty impressed so far, picking up lots of things that are often tough to get eye shine out of, like this chuditch (western quoll) #WildOz

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you are all safe and happy 💕 Had a bit of a break from the socials for the last two weeks but now coming at 2025 with the determination and focus of these red-necked stints! 🌏🪶 #wildAus
Two red-necked stints walk towards the camera (a third bird exits from the top left corner) with determined looks in their eyes, on the hunt for small crustaceans in the grey rippling surface of a salt lake. From the front they are mostly white, with delicate grey speckles on their heads and backs. Their dark beaks and eyes are focused ahead. Despite being photographed in the Australian summer sunshine, these birds are in their winter plumage!

Brush-tailed phascogale has got to be up there as one of Australia's most underated fauna species. Don't @ me invertebrate people #WildOz

Widespread resilience of animal species, functional diversity, and predator–prey networks to an unprecedented gigafire 📈 Suggests that interventions could instead focus on the subset of species that are vulnerable to severe fire 🔥🌏 🧪 🔗 buff.ly/3Zep4bx

A shift in focus from corals to a bit of bird hobby science: theconversation.com/in-a-record-...

In a record-breaking drought, bush birds from around Perth flocked to the city
Months of hot and dry weather, with only 23mm of rain recorded over seven months, drove some species to seek food and water in the city.
