New paper out today exploring the marine habitat use of Snow Petrels tracked from East Antarctica! Funnily enough, I’m currently on my way to Mawson station for a summer (6 months) to build upon this work with antarctica.gov.au IMAS Link to paper: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

When your best friends are also ecologists doing crazy things!!!

The scale of the fires currently burning across northern Australia is pretty unfathomable. This animation visualises just the last two months of fire captured by #DEAHotspots - for context, the map covers an area larger than France, Spain and Germany combined...

The bear cams were still on to capture this wolf in his finest moment.

Incredible to watch tens of thousands of Grey-headed Flying-fox megabats (Pteropus poliocephalus 🦇) leave their roost at sunset to forage for nectar overnight - so many that they're accidentally mapped as rain on the Bureau of Meteorology, Australia weather radar! 🤯 #wildoz

Just back from Namadji National Park with James Vandersteen who is looking at the effects of dingoes on alpine ecosystems. We saw plenty of dingoes including one with a great big rip in its side.

James Vandersteen and others talking about ACT dingoes. Yes some have odd coat colours, but this doesn’t change the fact that they are dingoes and a native animal. Policy needs to evolve with changing scientific knowledge. abc.net.au/news/2024-05-1… UNSW Science UNSW Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Mike Letnic

New paper discussing various approaches to marine wildlife surveys from vessels of opportunity! Such a wonderful voyage with many memorable moments. Here, we also provide an open access dataset describing sightings off Tasmania's west coast. nature.com/articles/s4159…
