With more reserves planning reintroductions of western quolls in the next few years, careful ongoing management is needed to balance these dynamics in fenced reserves.

What happens when threatened predator and prey species are reintroduced together? Reintroduced western quolls @AridRecovery demonstrated a dietary preference towards other reintroduced species and native rodents. 📷 @JannicoKelk doi.org/10.1111/acv.12…

Getting to deliver nature based school holiday programs for kids in Sydney's remnant bushland is an awesome job :D

Hearing inspiring anecdotes from urban ecologists like @HollyKirk @dieterhochuli at #ESAus23 about the importance of kids connecting to nature for their development, has really affirmed my passion as a ranger at the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Gardens. @krgcouncil 📷@ShooterWol

@Academic_Gian @Biologist_Britt @seedysarah @unswbees You've got to start studying cute and cuddly plants @Academic_Gian ;) well done everyone :)

@Biologist_Britt @seedysarah @unswbees And also @steppo94 who nested me twice for best presentation now 😂 fricking quolls!

Australia has a lot of fenced reserves for threatened species. But what happens to those critters when you reintroduce native predators? Ben Stepkovitch breaking down some cool work from @AridRecovery #ESAus2023 #ESAus23 #wildoz

@terngirl @terngirl loving these graphics. What app do you use to convert the photos of your drawings into such clear images?

How quoll-ified are detection dogs? VERY! #ESAus18 #ConservationDog

Populations of northern quolls naturally fluctuate on Groote Eylandt in absence of outside threats - may not always be cause for concern when populations drop on mainland #ESAus18 @skyefcameron

So lucky to be able to hear Pablo the Inca Dove (@urbanfrogger) sing about the plight of her species at #ESAus18

So stoked to be able to witness @AridRecovery reintroducing Western Quolls into the reserve this week #WildOz #interning #rewilding

Yes, foxes occur in urban areas Ben @westsyduhie MSc student presenting his ongoing research on their diet #avpc2017 @AnimalEcoLab

#AVPC2017 @BronFancourt - spatial and temporal overlap between cats and dingoes in Taunton NP. Dingoes don't appear to deter cats.

Spot the glider. Great fun spotlighting at @MulligansFlat tonight as part of #avpc2017 #AVPC17 . #threatenedspecies
