A collab. between biodiversity experts & 170 volunteers has shone a light on the natural wonders of WA’s south-west in the #Walpole #BioBlitz, including remarkable carbon-rich peat soils and associated wetlands. australiangeographic.com.au/topics/science… @em_hoffmann @PierreHorwitz @NickiJMitch

1/11 (🧵) We have 8 exciting opportunities to join the PEAT project as a PhD student, based either at @BiolSci_UWA or at @CPPP_ECU. If your background is botany, entomology, soil science, genetics, AI, cultural studies, geochemistry or hydrology, then we have a niche for you!

#saveleepoint We need to protect old growth savanna woodland in Greater Darwin to make sure the very thing most of us love about living in Darwin remains for us, and future generations. @tanya_plibersek you have the power to stop this. Please do so, and listen to the community!

Traditional Owners have made an emergency application to Australia’s Environment Minister, @tanya_plibersek, to immediately halt the desecration of Aboriginal cultural heritage at Lee Point in Darwin. #SaveLeePoint #LeePoint @EnviroCentreNT envirojustice.org.au/blog/mediarele…

The Arnhem Land gorges skink was recently named one of Australia’s most threatened vertebrates. Working with Traditional Owners @TerritoryNRM conducted targeted surveys across Kakadu National Park. What did they discover? Find out from @em_hoffmann at #ESAus23! 📷️: Chris Jolly

Less than 10 days left to apply for our #PhD positions in mine #restoration, population genetics, and invertebrate and amphibian #ecology! If you're interested in any of these topics and conservation, please get in touch. Retweets appreciated.

@brettpmurphy @eco_jolly @kdixonEcology @certhionyx @KakaduNationalP @TerritoryNRM @CDUni @RIELresearch 🙌🏾 such a great project AND team! @alanadelaive thank you for the gorgeous illustration for our team logo (pun intended) 😅

There are lots of things to consider when deciding to get involved in a new project: will it deliver real-world impact, is there potential for high-impact papers and academic kudos, and most importantly... will I get a project t-shirt?! The Arnhem Rock Skink project is a winner!

We warmly congratulate Associate Professor Nicki Mitchell of the School of Biological Sciences for being named to the Lead Council of the newly launched national Biodiversity Council. biodiversitycouncil.org.au

@NeridaWilson @PaigeMaroni Woohoo!!! Congrats Dr Paige!! 🥳

Congratulations @PaigeMaroni who just submitted her PhD! #Antarctica #nudibranch So proud of you and the hard work you put in!

@CNZdenek @eco_jolly @TerritoryNRM @kdixonEcology @LukeEinoder @Ross2Billy @brettpmurphy @certhionyx Thanks!🤞 Yes, fire and cats are the current thought, but there are so few records we don't really know. Hopefully we can get a better idea soon!

@em_hoffmann @eco_jolly @TerritoryNRM @kdixonEcology @LukeEinoder @Ross2Billy @brettpmurphy @certhionyx Awweee, hope u all find it and can protect it 🥰 (probs from feral cats and hot fires, I’m guessing?).

Excited to share that I’ve recently joined @TerritoryNRM on a search for the endangered Arnhem Land gorges skink – one of Australia’s most threatened reptiles🦎A big collaboration with @kdixonEcology NT Gov @LukeEinoder @Ross2Billy @brettpmurphy @eco_jolly @certhionyx

Have you seen this skink? 🦎🤩 More info on our Arnhem Land gorges skink project and a sightings form can be found here: territorynrm.org.au/protecting-arn…

@eco_jolly @TerritoryNRM @kdixonEcology @LukeEinoder @Ross2Billy @brettpmurphy @ecojolly @certhionyx Gahhhh sorry!

@MelissaJensen_ @eco_jolly @brettpmurphy @kdixonEcology @certhionyx We managed to borrow some - thanks!! 🙏

Any ecology peeps know where we can get some (seemingly rare) Hygrochron iButton temp+humidity loggers? We require >20 for a project on the endangered Arnhem Land Gorges Skink🦎 Does anyone have any they'd be willing for our team to use/rent/buy? Please share! (Photo @eco_jolly)

@SoraviaCamilla @mandy_ridley @CornishJackdaws @Ben_Ashton9 So glad to see you're heading over for your fieldwork! What an amazing opportunity!! I wish I was available 🤩🐦

Seeking a field assistant to come with me to the Kalahari to work on heat stress and cognition in pied babblers. Fieldwork starts from the end of October! 👇👇🐦☀️

@mandy_ridley @BrunoBuzatto @eco_jolly @brettpmurphy @kdixonEcology @certhionyx No worries, thanks! Seems like that’s the story at the moment…

@em_hoffmann @BrunoBuzatto @eco_jolly @brettpmurphy @kdixonEcology @certhionyx Sorry Emily I should have checked before I sent that reply! The thermocron website now says it has a shortage! 😬

@reneecatullo @BiolSci_UWA @wamuseum @LettsGetSnakes @uwanews Amazing work, froggers!

@mandy_ridley @BrunoBuzatto @eco_jolly @brettpmurphy @kdixonEcology @certhionyx Oh amazing, thanks Mandy! Do you remember the supplier name?

@em_hoffmann @BrunoBuzatto @eco_jolly @brettpmurphy @kdixonEcology @certhionyx Emily we got ours provided within a week, shipped from NSW
