Thrilled & honoured to win the amazing Founder's prize from @BritishEcolSoc! A huge surprise; testament to the incredible network of people I have had with me on this journey.
A full circle moment as the @BritishEcolSoc was my first ever scientific meeting w/ @Om_Phil!

The @SAMuseum collections provide time-stamped evidence of how species respond to environmental change, truly invaluable to science and society, but will be all tossed away by short-sighted thinking. Shame!

Our new paper just out in @J_Exp_Biol on how variation in mitochondrial function may help us explain the 'lek paradox'. Lead by the wonderful Ondi Crino with @Mikejennions and @megabugface. Check it out:

@SpringerANCO @sawsharkman @springer1842 Thanks, a page I was initially taken to for ANCO listed only 8 Australian unis. Good to see we are on the main list!
English
@lizard_lab @sawsharkman @springer1842 Please check the link below. There are 54 institutions covered, including Macquarie. springernature.com/gp/open-resear…

Have just learnt Animal Cognition will be open access in 2024-Springer announced this with great excitement! But check the small print "The 2024 APC for Animal Cognition will be EUR 2690.00/ USD 3390.00/ GBP 2290.00." I'll publish elsewhere. @SpringerANCO @springer1842
English
@sawsharkman @SpringerANCO @springer1842 Yep, I did check. There are I think 8 Aussie unis and Macquarie is not one of them!
English
@lizard_lab @SpringerANCO @springer1842 Ooof. I think most unis in Aus have an open access agreement with them though! Check with MQ library...

@Mikejennions @itchyshin @festa_bianchet @WidowWeb @EcoEvoEvoEco @Brooks_Rob @kokkonutter @LoeskeKruuk Oh no! A big loss for all of us in Australia but huge congrats to @itchyshin!

Some sad news for evolutionary ecology in Australia. I’m very disappointed we struggle to retain top talent.

That said - Many congrats to @itchyshin and Canada. 🥳🎉🍾

Today at Invertebrates Australia we're launching #NoSpraySpring!
We know #invertebrates are vital for healthy ecosystems; they're also fascinating!
If you agree, join us in avoiding insecticide sprays to protect the good bugs this spring

The Lizard Lab's Rachel Wong doing some great outreach, expertly explaining her research on quantity discrimination in lizards. @mqnatsci #lizard
Macquarie University@Macquarie_Uni
👋 Rachel is an MQ MRes student whose passion for understanding more about our scaly friends has led her to the lizard lab, and specifically to studying quantity discrimination in lizards 🦎 did you know we had a lizard lab on campus?

Hopefully not the last blindsnakes on journal covers 😆 Thanks @StephenZozaya for this wonderful Torres Strait blindsnake. One of few blindsnake species found on both Australia and Papua New Guinea
Keogh Lab (@keoghlabanu.bsky.social)@Keogh_Lab
Is this the first Australian blind snake on a journal cover? Great paper from @PutterT and great photo from @StephenZozaya. Journal of Biogeography. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jb…

Consider yourself frog-curious? 🐸
Think Australia is cool? 🇦🇺
Not sick of threads? 🧵
Let me tell you a little of what we’ve learned from looking at Australian frog genetics and reconstructing their history.
