Great first week in my new role as an ongoing Systematic Botanist at @BotanicSydney! We just returned from a fabulous work retreat—a nice way to meet and get to know the rest of the team at the #herbarium of NSW. Looking forward to working together on future projects! 🌿🌺
A couple of #Drosera taken recently in areas known as sand sheets - seasonally-indundated sandy soil ecosystems around greater Darwin. D. fragrans and D. aquatica. #ozplants
@Phil_Zylstra WRT: Mr de Haan said the department fire management strategy was informed by "decades of operational experiences and peer reviewed research".
There is that weasel word "informed", but is there any other peer-reviewed research you haven't mentioned in the thread?

I finally chanced upon a flowering #Drosera brevicornis, and it lived up to its etymology - brevicornis means small horns, in ref to the horn-like extension past the anthers. At Palmerston, NT. #ozplants#carnivorousplants
A photo from a relatively sunny Litchfield from last weekend (to make up for the non-stop rain today). Tjaetaba Falls. There are a few nice pools at the top too.
New paper in @ESAFrontiers. We analysed >1 million @inaturalist records of Australian terrestrial invertebrates (as of Dec. 2021) and assessed 'recognition' (% ID'ed to species) and 'completion' (% of all known species recorded) across 39 broad taxa

On the #Drosera theme, I saw this one the other day - very impressive scape height for such a small plant: D. brevicornis at Marlow Lagoon. I'll try to return when there are some fully open flowers. #ozplants
@claredrinkell@Kew_Asia Miss Banbury or Bunbury? Bunbury is not only the name of a town on the coast south of Perth but also, not surprisingly, the name of some of the settlers in the region from England. Very artistic nonetheless.
Come & work with us at the wonderful Tasmanian Land Conservancy @Tas_Land! We're looking for a more botanically-minded version of me...🌱🌿🌳🌷🌸

Recently @Acanthoplus, I & others published an unusual observation of scoliosis in a skink. We received this picture from Nick Diggles of a Garden Skink Lampropholis guichenoti in Brisbane with the same condition. You can read more about our research here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
