Our paper on #quoll behaviour during the breeding season is finally out in the #royalsocietyopenscience @RSocPublishing . We explore if sleepless behaviour could explain male die-off following breeding. @JGaschk @KaylahDelSimone @drrobbiewilson royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

@JGaschk with an excellent talk from his #phd on behaviour in northern #quolls measured using #accelerometers. Male quolls die (females survive) following the breeding season perhaps due to a lack of sleep! @ResearchUSC_AU #anzscpb2022

Invasion vs extinction timelines in #australianfauna. But not all species went extinct! Our paper in #CSIRO's Aust. J. Zoology tries to build up pairs of invasive predators vs native prey, to figure out what makes prey venerable. @ResearchUSC_AU @JGaschk publish.csiro.au/ZO/ZO22011

What limits turning ability with size? We put 20 dogs through their paces, showing medium sized dogs were the best at turning. Long forelimbs and short hindlimbs help too. Thanks to #ADCQ @TinaHaagensen @JojoMimic @JGaschk @J_Exp_Biol doi.org/10.1242/jeb.24…
