#openaccess Biocontrols manage invasive plants & can impact related, non-target species. Stephanie Chen & colleagues from @Parks_Australia @CSIRO use molecular analysis to determine whether the rare daisy fleabane (Erigeron conyzoides) might be at risk doi.org/10.1071/BT24047

New Year, new paper. We're half way through the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021 - 2030), and fittingly, Jamie Kirkpatrick (requiescat in pace) and colleagues report on 50 years native vegetation change in Hobart's urban parklands @utas doi.org/10.1071/BT24042

Have you heard about the Australian Reference Genome Atlas? It's a digital atlas researchers can use to easily discover and work with genomic data. 🌱🐨🧬 Researchers can use this resource to to better-understand the environment 🌳 spr.ly/6015vfe9L
