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

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

Despite prevailing narratives of widespread ecological destruction following the 2019–20 wildfires, our findings suggest widespread resilience, potentially facilitated by evolutionary adaptations of...

The Victorian Government's decision to declare dingoes as "unprotected wildlife" across much of the state not only condemns these native animals to extreme suffering, but could send them on an "extinction trajectory". 💔 https://t.co/QJnyvomEz1

At least 468 shot by government controllers last year out of an estimated population of as few as 2,640 in the state’s east, advocates say

"This is how science should operate: incrementally, by invalidating hypotheses or methods, whether in a single paper or across various papers, as researchers move slowly towards a deeper and more complete understanding of the world." https://t.co/T6JPD7qNUv

Nature - As part of a healthy scientific community, I accepted my mistake — but I’ve come to realize that authors of reply papers need more support.

Check out our study on the changing structure of the #mammal #carnivore guild in Australia from the #Pleistocene to the #Anthropocene, just out in @CurrentBiology 🦊🐈⬛🐾

We hope this opens discussion about the macro importance of the protection of apex predators and thinking about food web complexity and species decline

We found what we expected for the most part. Novel Australian predators share no functional overlap with extinct predators but more predators in the system means food webs are more complex.

This paper was born from @OwenMiiddleton and @ejlundyyy and I at a hot spring in Montana in 2019, talking about the almost unbelievable changes that have happened across the last 130,000 years in Australia.
