A short article we wrote for The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand - โ€˜Animals keep eating precious plants โ€“ we used โ€˜smell misinformationโ€™ to keep themย awayโ€™ theconversation.com/animals-keep-eโ€ฆ

Each year, plant-eating animals do billions of dollars of damage to valuable plants. According to new research from Patrick Finnerty + colleagues (University of Sydney), this reliance on smell can nudge wallabies away from vulnerable native tree seedlings. theconversation.com/animals-keep-eโ€ฆ

Honestly, talk of how do we support more people to go to uni makes me so angry. How about we make uni free for students & don't saddle them with massive debt? Funding? We find $$$$$ for fossil fuel subsidies, supporting property speculation & subs we don't need. Start there.

A nice write up about scavengers, including a feature on our work in Australia "Everyone scavenges: From pole to equator, nature's recyclers perform a widespread and largely unheralded service" doi.org/10.1093/biosciโ€ฆ

Brushtail possums are becoming recognised as key clean-up-crew members for local carcasses in Australia. We explore how widespread possum scavenging on carrion varies based on bioregion, habitat, and season. Patt Finnerty Ecological Society of Australia Wiley Ecology & Evolution bit.ly/3YbYb7t

Excited to see our research into #SensoryConservation on African elephants out today in Functioanl Ecology. Using the smell of plants elephants naturally avoid, we can gently nudge these giants away from areas we don't want them to be. shorturl.at/eQhGm Sydney Science
