Don't forget about my cheatsheet on the most common functions of R (for ecology). 👇 i.e., 80% of everything you will ever do in R (on TWO pages) rforecology.com/post/the-ess… Enjoy! #rstats #datascience #cheatsheet #ecology #science #rforecology #tutorial #biology #reference

The limited water in the landscape is becoming a valuable oasis for all sorts of wildlife after the #bushfires

I think half a billion is a fair guess for the number of vertebrates that have died in Australian wildfires so far - birds may be able to fly, but territorial individuals will die. Animals that emerge from burrows will find little food. bbc.com/news/50986293 – at Brisbane, Queensland

Australia fires: How do we know how many animals have died?

A biodiversity expert suggests almost half a billion animals might have been affected in Australia.

The true extent of the damage to Australia’s unique biodiversity is not yet known. Some estimates are that 500 million+ native animals may have perished. We're working to support various organisations to help save endangered wildlife affected by these fires. 📸 D Nelson / AWC

This is Mt Nardi, Nightcap NP. Numerous short-range endemics including my #dungbeetles are only found here in this Gondwanan rainforest. Much of their habitat was lost in the Dec fires but some survived thanks to @NSWRFS and the Community Defenders. Photo: Felix Schafer-Gardiner

We still don't know what impact the most recent fire in core #westerngroundparrot habitat has had on the last wild population but with a pre-fire population of less than 150 the situation is critical. The surviving birds need to be found and protected. #AustraliaBurning

So much work has gone into managing this species by many passionate people including so many landholders and volunteers over decades- please consider supporting the endemic KI glossy blacks through this extremely difficult time post the KI mega fire – at South Australia, Australia

This is such an exciting project to be working on! I'm learning new #predator-proof #fencing skills which go hand-in-hand with an #ecology #phd, right? 😉🌱 @BioR_Aus

Extremely excited to launch our project to build a you-beaut #kangarooproof #fence at Monarto - 5km long, it will protect 135 ha of precious #seedlings (and future #habitat) from hungry #roos 🌱🌱. All made possible by the Klein Family Foundation and @AusLandcare, THANKYOU! 🙏

It's easy to forget but you are not your PhD. If PhD is going bad does not mean you are bad. You are more than your PhD. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc

Nice one @D0CT0R_Dave! 👏 perfectly-written. What a disgrace that #brumbies are now "protected" in NSW #parks, and an even bigger disgrace when our #politicians don't listen to sound #science - feral horses damage our #native #ecosystems. xitter.cf/d0ct0r_dave/status/100…
The ABC is under assault from the Turnbull Government and One Nation. Between budget cuts and vexatious complaints designed to intimidate journalists, the ABC is under attack. Help us save the ABC sign here: sarahhansonyoung.com/save_ou…

Let’s break it down. 1. Turnbull gov must go, because Libs increase inequality, make climate change worse & harm refugees. 2. ALP might be gov soon, but they keep siding w Libs on tax cuts, keeping coal & harming refugees. 3. Best way to stop LNP & their policies? More #Greens

I can relate to Petie. It's tough for us over-ripe banana lovers, we can only ever consume bananas in private lest we gross someone out. #minority #struggles 🍌 xitter.cf/teamswiftparrot/status…
Dr SWIFT PARROT@teamswiftparrot1 Jun 2018
Petie ONLY eats bananas once they’re so soft and gross they’re basically mush and it’s pretty repulsive tbh

Come and help us #plant new #habitat for our precious #native #wildlife like the #DiamondFiretail, which is particularly important of course 😉. I need your help to save this #endangered population! #ffpf2018 xitter.cf/bior_australia/status/…

We need vollies to help plant #woodland for #wildlife at our Frahns Farm Planting Festival, Monarto on June 24. It's a great way to get outdoors, help with #habitat #conservation and have some fun too. Please rt & share, we'd love to see you there! 🌱🌿🌳💚 @nrsamdb #ffpf2018

#Biodiversity was the loser in #budget18, and 1/3 #threatenedspecies jobs have been axed. It's now up to NGOs to save our #wildlife; governments won't. This is why BioR exists. Our funding comes directly from people who care. You can help at bior.org.au/donate #actforbirds
