Hot off the press, the first paper from Tom Bruce's PhD thesis. Feral cats are common and widely distributed in the Australian Wet Tropics, thus a serious management issue for the endangered/endemic species in the region. https://t.co/5n1ohXRfJV

Fun fact - geckos have tiny hairlike sense organs all over them. Where are they and what do they look like? Glad you asked! Check out: Variation of cutaneous sensilla among body regions in nine species of Australian geckos

Solar energy could do more for conservation than just providing green power, it could enhance degraded farmland and provide habitat! Read all about it here:

This network of 'ears' is listening to the sounds of Australia's changing landscape https://t.co/uO2Px58gXJ via @ABCaustralia

From the symphony of nomadic birds on their journey across the continent to the silencing of our forests by bushfires, ecoacoustics could help scientists track environmental change.

A serious threat to our lizards!
Wildlife Disease Alert – An emerging fungal pathogen could threaten wild Australian lizards. Get all the details in our newly published research! https://t.co/EygTnf3Qa7

Thanks SFS (@thesfs_Aus) for hosting @jcu our final subject for the BSc (Ecology & Zoology). There is nothing like a mid-elevation rainforest in the summer for a perfect field climate, abundant and diverse plants and animals. Happy students = Happy lecturers

#RT @AustralEcology: New #AustralEcology paper on the status of native mammals on Groote Eylandt. The relative health of populations is likely due to feral cat low density, benign fire regime, and absence of large introduced herbivores and cane toads. @E…

Trees and #woodpiles hold a lot of heat after the sun goes down, allowing #lizards, #snakes, and other ectotherms to thermoregulate even at night. #ThermalCamera #PredatorVision Check out our recent paper - https://t.co/4VBiypDelJ
