Thanks for the Judo lessons Tessa, and for the BJJ practice. #Pomodojo.

Peek.

Why does she have to be menacing like that?

If you are interested in #feralcat management & have not checked out the WA Feral Cat Working Group 2023 Symposium page & presentations yet, head there now for a bit of Friday morning learning. If nothing else, check out their intro clip from some of the 250 😮 participants. wafcwg.org.au/2023-symposium…

A sneak peak at my lure chapter from the feral cat symposium 2023. Hopefully the paper will be out by the end of the year! youtu.be/8R0JpAXIOTI?si…

Another shot of a feral cat with a sugar glider, both invasive species here in Tasmania. Image taken from the D.E.E.P. Group camera trap network led by Barry Brook and Jessie Buettel.

It's a tough life being Meg.

A bit of grooming captured on the D.E.E.P. Group camera trap network deployed by Barry Brook and Jessie Buettel.

We've released a new tool called MEWC (the Mega-Efficient #Wildlife Classifier), allowing end-to-end training of customised #AI models in a few very simple steps! Preprint here: doi.org/10.32942/X2ZW3D GitHub repo: github.com/zaandahl/mewc We would love to get feedback from users!

A beautiful day in southern Tasmania.

Now my PhD chapters are all published and the burnout has subdued, I wrote a summary of my findings in the The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand with Bron Hradsky. Managing interacting invasive predators to protect wildlife is hard work.

Same camera, same #feralcat , different time of day. Lighting differences can make individual ID challenging, not just with black cats. We're having 'fun' identifying individual cats from #cameratrap images.

New paper out by myself, Barry Brook and Jessie Buettel on deriving animal body size from camera trap images: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

We have a new article: the impact of camera trap flash type on feral cat monitoring. Jessie Buettel, Barry Brook, and I found no evidence of the development of trap-shyness using white flash cameras as compared to IR. publish.csiro.au/ZO/justaccepte…

New paper out with Barry Brook and Jessie Buettel trialing three lure treatments for predator detection in south-east Tasmania: publish.csiro.au/WR/WR24055

We don't see a lot of mostly black #dingoes in this catchment and this fellow's ears are particularly distinct too. He won't be hard to recognise again.
