Super excited - our latest devil paper! Releasing 33 devils to a site of <20 individuals saw no increase in disease prevalence but observed increases in genome-wide diversity, new functional alleles & stable age distribution. Benefits of translocations! https://t.co/XTM5XgqFSH

It was great to get Aussie beekeepers and bee researchers together to discuss how research can help the industry adapt to varroa
🐝 Last week, our #HoneyBee & #Pollination Program held workshops in Canberra to develop national #varroa and #beebreeding strategies. Researchers, breeders, and industry stakeholders collaborated to shape research priorities 🌼🍯 Subscribe for updates 👉 https://t.co/X7BnP5iH3L

If you want to know more about dingo management in the ACT and why they are important for alpine ecosystems, read below! Research for my PhD will also be featured on the ACT ABC News tonight, so tune in to ABC iview at 7PM if you want to hear more 🐕 🏔️
abc.net.au
Concerns have been raised over the current assumptions about the ACT's dingoes, and it's hoped more understanding can help the animals coexist with humans and other species.

Amazing story from the lab down the corridor - @RezwanSidd working with Sandro Ataide and Ruth Hall in @SydneySOLES at @Sydney_Science - now they will be thrown into the gladiators' pit I suspect with the other protagonists that prowl this landscape! :-) Great piece of work!
So excited to finally share this project! We've discovered #seekRNA -a new #RNA that can be reprogrammed to take any cargo DNA and insert it into any target DNA sequence. This has big implications for gene editing and biotech. Read the fascinating story👇 https://t.co/dx8FaFT3bh

Dr Ros Gloag & team in the Behaviour, Ecology & Evolution Lab @Sydney_Science reveal some good news! A low genetic diversity in invasive honey bees slows the rate of their population expansion. Check out their research @NatureComms

Nature Communications - Invasive populations often have low genetic diversity because they originated from a small number of founding individuals. This study shows that in an invasive honey bee,...
