Great dispatch by Julie Kern summarising the findings of our recent paper in Current Biology: benefits of helping with predator defence depend on context and who is under threat.

Very pleased to report our purple-crowned fairy-wrens have been doing so well and breeding at the 'wrong' time of year for a second year in a row! These birds never cease to surprise us.. #PCFW Anne Peters

Neat article in New Scientist on the surprising dry season breeding we've been observing in our fairy-wrens, resulting in a population increase of >40% in the last year! Anne Peters

Fantastic work led by Michael Roast showing that telomere length in #PCFW declines with age, but relates to immune function independent of age. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Purple-crowned Fairy-wren researchers returned to the Kimberley last month for the first time since the region was hit by January’s devastating floods. Learn what they found 👉 bit.ly/AWC-PCFW 📸 Ariana La Porte/Monash University
