How do small mammals communities respond to a changing climate?🔥🌧️ In this work, John White Wildlife, Raylene Cooke et al. generated predictive models to hindcast fluctuations in small mammal abundances doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13… #ClimateChange #smallmammals #australianwildlife

Ever wondered how predators move through urban and agricultural landscapes compared to natural landscapes? Well here is a great study looking at exactly that in big, mean powerful owls. Well done to Nick Carter on another PhD chapter published👍 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S01…

Having a beer on Magnetic island, QLD, and who should join us? A stone-curlew. How cool.

Another example of why we should not have access to anticoagulant rodenticides. Bait station in a garden bed 5+ meters from a shop. Waiting for a rock wallaby to put its hand in?

Excellent advice.

A pair of yellow-tailed black cockatoo’s having a rest in my garden. I really do live urban biodiversity. Merry Christmas all.

Looking back to understand the future impact of climate change conditions. Sadly, more frequent fires, and longer droughts will impact everything. This from the Grampians where currently 18 of our 36 monitoring sites have been burnt yet again onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd…

What we said back in 2016 about the Grampians is still pretty acurate. theconversation.com/ecocheck-the-g…

Hot off the press: Urbanisation and agriculture force powerful owls to occupy larger landscape areas to establish their home ranges. We need to do urban design smarter. Great new paper from Nick and our team. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A nice little hard rubbish gem turned into a lovely native plant holder in the garden.

So sad to see a landscape I have had a long personal relationship with burn to a crisp. It is almost all gone. And this is not normal for the Grampians, it did’t happen like this in recent past. See 👇🏼 to under stand the past Compared to now onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd…

Make no mistake, the fires this summer in the Grampians are massive. Combined they have probably burnt about 90,000ha of the national park, and they are still burning. This is equivalent to the area burnt in park during the massive 2006 and 2013 fires combined.

Much of the Grampians National Park (Gariwerd) has already burned this summer – and the fire is not out yet. What does this mean for the animals that live there? John White Wildlife Deakin University theconversation.com/grampians-nati…

How do roads influence the movements of predators that live near our cities? Using GPS track data for powerful owls we show they structure core ranges to avoid roads, change behaviour when crossing roads, and cross roads near rivers with lots of trees sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
