Out clambers quoll mum Indianna, followed by an endless stream of ankle-biters, all piling on as she desperately tries to waddle away into the darkness 🤱 @MulligansFlat #wildoz buff.ly/2FKYk9w
Got my ticket! I'm sure it'll be a bee-uty of a day learning with Toby 🤗
Bee ID courses at the University of Queensland. I’ll be teaching two half day bee ID workshops this year (& also two other general bee diversity workshops/lectures). Details & tickets here: biological-sciences.uq.edu.a… Learn how to ID native bees with microscope & taxonomic keys.

Interested in ecological field data. Only short term (6mths) but good data job in Darwin.

Have you ever wondered what it looks like inside a #wombat burrow? Our researchers sent a robot dubbed the #WomBot underground to find out. It’s all part of @UTAS_ research into mange disease led by @Scott_S_Carver

Believe it or not, these are tiny Tasmanian devils!
At birth, devils are only about the size of a grain of rice & have to clamber up to their mothers pouch to attach to one of her teats. A maximum of 4/30+ that are born make it to a teat #DevilFactThursDay

Can theory be used to predict translocation outcomes of survival, dispersal & weight? We found that for the eastern #quoll, females live longer & recover weight, & smaller quolls disperse further onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… w/ @TSR_Hub @Parks_Australia @RewildingOZ @ANUFennerSchool

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.
I am approaching this with anthropological precision.
Here are a few observations.
#ESAus20 Join me and these two rascals at 14:23 today to watch some unexpected social #behaviour between female northern #quolls. Then let's have a chat at my poster session tonight! @EcolSocAus
Meanwhile at my parents house in Canada, someone should tell these two that they should be sleeping by now😟#blackbear #hibernation #climatechange
This fun-guy popped up in the garden this morning 🍆 Googling 'smelly pink penis fungus' got some interesting results.... #Phallusimpudicus #mycology

So excited! Our new individual-based model investigating how habitat features and performance interact to affect terrestrial predator-prey pursuits is out in @AnimalEcology!! @TedPavlic

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. @EcolSocAus @wileyecology bit.ly/31JpV63

Which kangaroos make the best mothers? Surprisingly, it's not the social butterflies. A long-awaited publication from my PhD research at @UQ_News is out today in @royalsociety Open Science!

Australian raven feeding on HUGE #ticks from a heavily infested #wallaby. A nice display of #mutualism🐦💚🦘@BES_Parasite @caseyttaylor @HenryLydecker

Our new paper modelling how the relative performance capabilities of predator and prey along with tradeoffs in individual performance determine optimal escape strategies is out in @ICB_journal 🐈🐀

Excited to share our new #quollity paper - where adapting #reintroduction tactics across trials allowed an endangered carnivore to establish @MulligansFlat! Read it here bit.ly/39npPTO🐱
Thanks so much to our partners at @EnvironPlan @MtRothwell @ACT_Parks @scienceANU
Loving the intersection between #art and #science 🤗 these sketches make me view the quolls in a different light, and I fall in love with them all over again. Thank you @marsupialtapir !
