New work from @mikeletnic, Mathew Crowther, Heidi Parker, Elaine Ostrander and I in @molecology finds most DNA tested wild dingoes were pure. Prior DNA studies frequently misidentified pure dingoes as hybrids. doi.org/10.1111/mec.16998 @unswbees @CES_UNSW @EERC_UNSW 1/n

Finding has implications for the ways that Australia’s native canid – including the extent to which they are culled – are managed

Because you care about nature, but have heard nothing about it this election campaign, we've written a report on the government's handling of the extinction crisis @BrenWintle @ICON_Science #auspol theconversation.com/fail-our… via @ConversationEDU

Fail: our report card on the government’s handling of Australia’s extinction crisis

The fate of nature underpins our economy and health. Yet in the election campaign to date, there’s been a deafening silence about it.
