One of the best parts of #ESASCBO2022 was the tote bag designed by @paperbark_ capturing the floral and faunal diversity of Dharawal land and sea where the conference was held 🌱

How can we make the #TSBakeOff more effective at raising awareness about threatened species? Post on Instagram! Not just our Twitter echo chamber. Diversify species, not just the popular ones everyone knows about 🐨 @BambiraptorF #ESASCBO2022

Incredible talk (as always) by @elsakohane this morning! Such a clear and concise presentation about the often overlooked nuance of bat box use.
We still don’t completely understand bats’ preferred boxes, but we do know they prefer them well maintained! 🦇
ALT First slide of Elsa’s presentation reads: “Assessing the impact of multi-scale factors on urban bat box using passive recording devices.” She credits her supervisors: Caragh Threlfall, Dieter Hochuli, and Aaron Greenville. Elsa stands to the left of the screen.
ALT Elsa presents images of her experimental setup. Images taken from the bottom of a tree, facing the sky, depict the bat boxes suspended from the tree trunks. The bat boxes are usually open from the bottom.

Green roofs have many benefits but how placed in the landscape and at what scale matters! Great work by @JuliaSchiller10 at #ESASCBO22

Brilliant to hear more about the wonderful world of ticks, the animals they bite, and how @AlexanderGofton and team are discovering more about their pathogens (lucky many of these ticks don’t often bite us) #RZSNSW22 @rzsnsw – at Sydney, New South Wales

Creatures surround us in our urban environments. All we have to do is look carefully. Professor @dieterhochuli shows us a living world right on our doorstep. 🪰🦋🦜 #shirtloadsofscience @UrbanFieldNats

Found a few Yellow-footed Antechinus on a farm near Holbrook this morning. If you’re quiet they can be pretty confiding. Volume up to hear this one peeling bark to find a snack underneath. I think you can even hear it nomming! #WildOz

New natural history note out in @AustralEcology! Brush-turkeys have been spreading in suburban Sydney for well over a decade. We catch them in the act using #CitizenScience, observing tagged birds moving 8-37km on foot through the urban landscape!

Odour is everywhere (a thread)! Many animals exploit #odour to find food, avoid threats, and attract or judge potential mates. Our new paper in @AIBSbiology focuses on odour in terrestrial ecosystems to introduce the concept of an #olfactorylandscape. academic.oup.com/bioscience/…
