We all know genetic diversity is vital for healthy populations, so how do boom-bust species persist when we expect such drastic population changes to cause low genetic diversity? @petahill26 and @UC_CCEG colleagues unravel this paradox in their new paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

What a fantastic achievement!
πŸŽ‰ Exciting news! πŸ“š Thrilled to announce our #ARC #DP24 on restoring amphibian populations in chytrid-impacted landscapes has been funded, with @RichardDuncanUC and @BenCScheele! πŸ™Œ It's such a brutal process, commiserations to all the great projects that missed out 😞 @UC_CCEG

Today we learnt about storm-water control measures here at SciTech πŸ’¦ Thank you to @Vicki_Thomson for organising and Tim Fletcher from @UniMelb for presenting πŸ™ŒπŸ½ @IAEUC
Critical to installing storm-water control measures is establishing a relationship with the community, according to Tim Fletcher ⁦@UniMelb⁩ ⁦IAE seminar @UC_CAWS⁩ @UC_CCEG⁩

A successful field trip to Batlow with our UC Ecology course! Student groups went out to study the effects the 2019/20 fires in Batlow, NSW had on invertebrates (terrestrial and aquatic) and vegetation. @UCSciTech @IAEUC @ProfRossatUC #Fieldwork #Ecology

I reckon no-one has asked the Pallowa mob @bradmoggo touching on the lack of acknowledgemt of indigenous knowledge or connections to the species. #Krebs2022 @IAEUC #ucresearchfestival @UniCanberra

From @bradmoggo: if a species is lost, a language could be lost; a totem could be lost; a food source could be lost and we haven’t thought about the holistic impacts of what extinction means. @IAEUC #Krebs2022 #deextinction
