We’ve recently spent a week in the arid zone surveying for one of Australia’s most elusive mammals – itjaritjari/the marsupial mole @Uncle_Maddog 🧵1/8

Want to join a global 🌎 initiative to test the thermal limits of 🐟 using standard approach? Led by @PatriceEcoEvo, we are planning a globally distributed experiment to collect data on fish embryonic heat tolerance 🌡️. Make this experiment global! 🔗: https://t.co/TEggUGhVtS

Quantifying timing and impact of invasive predators on seabird breeding success

New paper in @Ecology_Letters. We show that bats 🦇 fatten predictably in cold climates, but also in warm climates with strong rainfall seasonality. This relationship is also influenced by interactions with sex and study year | https://t.co/Ec6TxbO2XG | @westsyduhie

Today we are launching an urgent appeal for nature 🌏🌳 Our ecosystems on land and water are irreplaceable. The past decade has been the warmest on record. Climate change and biodiversity loss are accelerating, threatening the nature we all depend on. Together, we can take

Note my data are not genetic/microbiome data

After conducting a PERMANOVA to formally test for differences in animal communities, what is the best/most appropriate way to identify and test what specific species are driving community differences? Desert salt lake photo for interest

A/Prof Daniel Noble, a leader in evolutionary ecology and ecophysiology based @ScienceANU, has been awarded the Fenner Medal which recognises outstanding research in biology.

Gibber pebbles play a vital role in our arid ecosystems, offering a protective blanket to armour hillslopes against erosion + they act like natural mulch, limiting vegetation growth & leading to incredible heterogenous landscapes! Read all about it in this recap by Honours

New paper in @Nature led by @PatriceEcoEvo! We demonstrated global vulnerability of amphibians to warming, threatening 10% of >5,000 species examined. How did we do it? | https://t.co/Sq7YMaC8NP | See thread🧵
