Pretty happy with how my latest book turned out. The pdf version is freely available online.

🚨 New paper out in Biological Conservation! We used camera traps to ask: what are animal responses to mining camps compared to reference landscapes? Here’s what we found👇 🔗

National Environmental Science Program Resilient Landscapes is in Kakadu National Park this week with Project Leader & Traditional Owner Victor Cooper, Byron Cooper, researchers @CowanMitch & @FiFreestone setting camera traps to record how animals respond to wet season burning.

#DidYouKnow: The #Wiminyji (#NorthernQuoll), Australia's smallest quoll, is endangered? #KJMartuRangers use traditional knowledge, expert tracking skills and sensor cameras to care for these nocturnal marsupials in #Karlamilyi National Park.

The #bigmudstudy is officially off the ground with the first mud adder sighted this week in Victoria - stay tuned for updates on the student projects #wildoz @Gulbali_Inst

I feel very lucky to have received this award, and loved undertaking my PhD with @CharlesSturtUni @Gulbali_Inst with a fantastic group of supervisors led by @BiodiversityGuy

Australian ecological communities appear to be pretty fire resilient. New paper out in @JAppliedEcology led freshly minted PhD @GLinley2 (hire him - he's on the job market) https://t.co/qrlw53wpSy

Great to see a farmer implement my recommendations to redistribute rock piles to provide ‘stepping stones’ connecting isolated rocky outcrop habitat of the threatened striped legless lizard (Delma impar). Unique head scales allow us to tell if individuals are dispersing #wildoz

Over 130,000 years Australia's predator community has been reorganised, what does this mean for ecological function and food webs? In @CurrentBiology, we show that modern food webs resemble those of the Late Pleistocene, but only when dingoes are present. https://t.co/Zhduqnymg6

#NaturalHistory note: Fifty percent of male northern quolls survived into their 2nd year in a Pilbara population, likely due to reduced breeding stress & increased rainfall 🌧️. #AustralEcology @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol @CowanMitch Read more: https://t.co/5iawta7R1h

Interested in #carnivores or #mammals? Check our new database of #carnivore functional traits including both extinct & recently #extinct species @GEB_macro🦁🐯🐅🐻‍❄️🦝🦊🐺🐆 https://t.co/uRxV5d1SYj #macroecology - big thx to @eamonn_wooster & @OwenMiiddleton for leading🐺🐯

Our new paper examines how Pilbara mammal occurrence varies with fire history. Most species are negatively correlated with fire frequency and some are positively correlated with long-unburnt habitat and pyrodiversity. With old mate @BiodiversityGuy https://t.co/WgMALahiVi

🚨 New paper from my PhD following the fate of translocated dragon lizards. We trialled the concept of proactive translocations of common but patchily distributed species in fragmented landscapes to spread extinction risk and keep common species common.

🐾 Paving the way for better conservation #CharlesSturtUni PhD candidate @CowanMitch’s research investigates the movement and energy use of #northernquolls living in the #mining landscape of the Pilbara. This research was carried out under AEC approval from Charles Sturt #WildOz

CarniTraits - The Traits of the World's Late Quaternary Terrestrial Mammalian Predators out now in @GEB_macro. The dataset features a suite of traits for recently extinct and all extant predators. https://t.co/z8RolEAmN7

We’re helping identify biodiversity and bush tucker hotspots in @KakaduNationalP to support Traditional Owners and Park managers in their work.🫐🌿 Professor @mdouglasUWA (@uwanews) and the Bininj/Mungguy Research Advisory Committee will lead this project https://t.co/N1RUZf6OHQ

New #NaturalHistory note in #AustralEcology: Northern quolls show sex-specific movement responses to fire which may impact breeding dispersion and population dynamics. @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol @CowanMitch https://t.co/J8Qz3z3F4P

Very well deserved 👏 @BiodiversityGuy

New publication on the influence of #fire severity on #GreaterGliders in Woomargama National Park! 🔦🐻 A huge thank you to everyone involved, to all the co-authors and particularly @BiodiversityGuy as my primary supervisor! https://t.co/pDPkRMAbai

In a conservation haven free from invasive predators but containing chuditch, we were unable to detect any loss of anti-predator traits from the resident woylies! Could this be another tool for conservation managers? Read more here: https://t.co/mxerQhzWe7
