These special 9yr old eucs are part of one of Aus largest networks of multi-species provenance trials informing migration & restoration strategies in the face of climate change & have just passed their fitness assessment by the EucGen group @_PAHarrison @tassiebeck @Sciences_UTAS

📢 New Special Issue in @EMRjournal showcasing a decade of community engagement, education, and cross-disciplinary research to restore the eucalypt woodlands of the Tasmania Midlands, one of Australia's biodiversity hotspots 👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/…
Thanks to the many co-authors from @Sciences_UTAS and the @arcforestvalue and especially @GreeningAust for making this Special Issue possible

When collecting #seeds for #restoration where should you collect from? Are the source populations nearby, or far away from your restoration site? Find out in the #Florabankguidelines florabank.org.au/guidelines

What makes the manna, or sap, of Eucalyptus viminalis (white gum) so delicious to the endangered forty-spotted pardalote? And where are these tasty trees? University of Tasmania PhD candidate Erin Bok is investigating.

A new instalment in the fascinating story of a Eucalyptus hybrid zone from @Sciences_UTAS’s Thais Pfeilsticker et al. (including @tassiebeck @_PAHarrison). Interesting genetic control of heterochrony and heteroblasty, first outlined by @robw2690, back in…the day…😁 #eucalypts

So excited to see this paper out as a pre-print! Awesome job @jakkimohr @_PAHarrison @StanhopeJess. What the people say about #restoration #genomics doesn't appear to be consistent with what the literature says...for more, read on 👇

@RebeccaCJordan @_PAHarrison @jasongbragg @DNAprymer @kdmurray91 @RoseLAndrew @jwwhale + those not on twitter (I don't think) Helen Bothwell, Margaret Byrne, Dot Steane, and Tara Hopley.
Well done Tom and the rest of the team!
Congrats to @arcforestvalue researcher Dr Tom Baker on his recent article about temporal, environmental and spatial changes in the effect of windbreaks on pasture microclimate. Great collaboration with Private Forests Tasmania and @CSIRO #research @UTAS_

Great example of using scientific knowledge to address real-world issues to improve on-ground applications. Great team behind this work: @_PAHarrison, Thomas Baker, Dot Steane, Mark Neyland, and industry partner Dean Williams from Sustainable Timbers Tasmania
Here's a great example of scientific knowledge being turned into practical policy, with a key industry partner Sustainable Timber Tasmania adopting new seeds zones developed by @arcforestvalue researchers. Well done to everyone involved @_PAHarrison

Best of #ESAus20: as the conference presentations draw to a close, I've curated a list of favourite talks, including links to people's work, Twitter profiles and pretty pictures.
Thanks everyone for sharing your work and ideas 🥳rockdocpress.wordpress.com/2… #PhDVoice #AcademicTwitter
