New research: carbon farming projects in Australia are predominantly located in marginal lands where they don't deliver benefits to the species that most need habitat restoration and protection. nature.com/articles/s4155… rdcu.be/d0h33

What if, like Norway, we taxed our big corporations instead of taxing students for their education? We could make uni free, fund dental & mental into Medicare, and build hundreds of thousands of homes people can actually afford. It’s been done around the world - why not here?

Phone conversations with @Harryymoore over summer often went along the lines of ‘Guess what I just saw?’ ‘Black-shouldered kite.’ 🦅 Along with other birders we were noticing an unusually high number of certain bird species. We set out to investigate with @Team_eBird data:
The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand@ConversationEDU

Months of heat and record low rainfall drove some species to seek refuge in the city where they could still find water and food @Harryymoore @A_K_Cresswell @uwanews @UWAresearc. #Echobox=1731276808-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theconversation.com/in-a-record-br…

I’m more worried about boomers watching sky news than my children accessing social media.

Bloody chuffed to say my promotion to Associate Professor has been approved 😁 Here I am in all my colours. Because I’m living proof it’s not what you look like, it’s what you do and who you are. (Sling for my broken shoulder - because I’ll always be accident prone 😅)

Great to see a farmer implement my recommendations to redistribute rock piles to provide ‘stepping stones’ connecting isolated rocky outcrop habitat of the threatened striped legless lizard (Delma impar). Unique head scales allow us to tell if individuals are dispersing #wildoz

Very honoured (and terrified) to give a plenary at this years conference in Perth.. Come along to hear more about my PhD research on morphological changes in birds!
Australasian Evolution Society@AustEvolSoc

Congratulations to Dr Sara Ryding (@zuuletc), who has won this year’s PhD ECR Best Paper Plenary Award for the paper “Long- and short-term responses to climate change in body and appendage size of diverse Australian birds”. We’re looking forward to Sara’s plenary at #AusEvol2024!

"Pound-for-pound beef might be the most climate-polluting substance people regularly use." "If all American beef were raised with grass-fed methods, it would take more land than we have in the entire country.” Great overview with key studies cited: drawdown.org/insights/green…

So, 2000 roofing tiles have been in place for almost three months and today we recorded our first pink-tailed worm-lizard beneath one #wildoz @Gulbali_Inst

Increasing land drying & drought will threaten water-sensitive species such as frogs 🐸. We examine the potential exposure risk under different warming scenarios | nature.com/articles/s4155… | @NatureClimate

New paper from @A_K_Cresswell ! 📄✨ C~scape, a coral metacommunity model, captures fine-scale coral dynamics across reefs. Case study from the Great Barrier Reef shows its value for management and restoration. nature.com/articles/s4159…
