We’re piloting the release of a fungus to help farmers tackle the weed flaxleaf fleabane. ✅ Our research with @AgriFuturesAU and @theGRDC found the fungus only infects the weed, leaving non-target species alone. csiro.au/en/news/News-r…

Good morning! 😊 Throwback to when our little echidna puggle was a wee little puggle at one-month-old! Look at this incredible shot keeper Freya got on one of her morning checks. #forthewild #tarongakeepercam

There is no greater joy in the world I reckon than getting the nails dirty, planting some trees and watching them flourish #EucDieback

It me! New job announcement 😁

If you haven’t done so already, track down your nearest bluebell wood and go walk there. They’re magical, restorative places that make you feel like this 👇

Dead plant litter really matters sometimes. At some times and places native herbivores can get to abundances where they eat absolutely everything. This isn't great, esp for the soil.

Our research on mitigating forest dieback with soil microbial mutualists is generously funded by NSW Environmental Trust, in partnership between CSIRO, Greening Aust, Landcare and ANU environment.nsw.gov.au/news/eucalypt-…

Our EucDieback research is seeking to harness microbial mutualisms to enhance performance of revegetated seedlings in the field and help recover forests suffering severe dieback

Proud to announce a new collaborative research project, which aims to untangle the role of soil microbes (particularly mycorrhizae) in forest dieback across sthrn NSW, in partnership with CSIRO, ANU, Greening Aust, Landcare.

@thomasmesaglio What a beautiful venture

After hundreds of hours of collecting, sorting, identifying and photographing seashells, my comprehensive field guide 'Seashells of North Haven Beach' is finally out. Available now at …ashellsofnorthhavenbeach.company.site, it's a must have for Australian beachcombers (I promise!)

New research led by @graciegliu, published in @GlobalChangeBio, integrated #CitizenScience data with remote sensing data to understand frog tolerance to habitat modification! Check out this AMAZING graphic she made to summarize the research 👇👇 Paper: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15…

@callaghanct @thomasmesaglio @graciegliu @GlobalChangeBio @UNSWScience @jodirowley @CES_UNSW @AustmusResearch @FrogIDAus This is AMAZING!!!! !!

We used GPS trackers to work out how swift #parrots cope in good vs. bad years. Fathers worked harder in bad times, but this didn't compensate for the impacts of a bad year on their chicks. Read the paper here: static1.squarespace.com/static/582ea0d… (pic= parrot with a taped-on GPS tag)

@teamswiftparrot Great paper!

@SeabirdResearch @teamswiftparrot Insanely gorgeous artwork

Moscow’s ‘metro dogs’ are strays that have memorised metro routes and alight at specific stops in search of food.

@Tarikul_Entom @rputrabio @ScottJohnsonLab @blinkybenjy @LCastanedagomez Absolutely fantastic!
