Contamination across water sources (except municipal, which not all households have access to) was high. Well water did not meet @WHO drinking water guidelines and E. coli levels of environmental water indicates sewage contamination [💧 analyses: @MonashCivil, @Monash_Science]

A new international study in @PNASNews shows remarkable #evolution in isolation: beetles speciated across sub- #Antarctic islands as the climate cooled, in synchrony with many marine groups. @MonashBiol @CSIRO @ACE_Expedition https://t.co/tXgkoQb4LD https://t.co/t2IOEhVuXv

Our new paper in Oecologia @SpringerNature shows Seira #springtails are super desiccation tolerant compared to other #Collembola globally. High VPD in the hot habitats may explain this. @StevenChown1,@cjanion,@Lab_APE & Laura Phillips 10.1007/s00442-021-04896-w @MonashBiol #PhD
