Tasmania's first timber high-rise building taking shape on Launceston skyline abc.net.au/news/2023-08-08/t… via @ABCaustralia

'The speed of construction has really surprised us': Multi-storey timber building takes shape

Tasmania's first multi-storey building using timber is taking shape on the city skyline, as pressure grows to use alternatives to greenhouse-gas-intensive materials like steel.

Since 2016 Architecture and Design students have been creating weird and wonderful sculptures that form our species hotels. Made from salvaged wood, they provide habitat for small wildlife, a @GreeningAust initiative. Thanks to @ausgeo for the write-up: utas.au/4S

Eucalypts are so important for many native species, and play such a vital functional role in Australian ecosystems #NationalEucalyptDay

As part of his PhD studies Trav shows that the most commonly used competition index finds competition when there is none and suggests a simpler, reliable index #hegyiisdead #dontusehegyiindex

Quantifying neighbour effects on tree growth: Are common ‘competition’ indices biased?

‘Competition’ indices are a useful method to characterise the cumulative neighbourhood effect on plant growth; however, we demonstrate that indices which include the size of the focal plant in their...

Hybridisation is often seen as detrimental in rare species through genetic swamping of small pops. However, in our latest study @molecology we show that a rare eucalypt is invading the range of a common species via hybridisation and backcrossing: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… – at Hobart, Tasmania

Molecular insights into the dynamics of species invasion by hybridisation in Tasmanian eucalypts

In plants where seed dispersal is limited compared with pollen dispersal, hybridisation may enhance gene exchange and species dispersal. We provide genetic evidence of hybridisation contributing to...
