The first bogong moths have made it to Charlotte Pass! #bogongmigration #mothtracker They are now listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List so if you see a bogong moth, please record your sighting on the Moth Tracker website! #ozinsects swifft.net.au/mothtracker/

Happy #WorldLizardDay its nice to know that, excellent lizards like this North-west Prickly Gecko (Heteronotia planiceps) can be found in the razor sharp limestone gorges of North-west Tropical Australia Australian Museum AMRI

Very happy to see this work out Science Magazine! Massive congrats to Prof Jan Strugnell and Sally Lau and the rest of the team, including Ira Cooke Tim Naish Nick Golledge! #Antarctica Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future

Spending some of my time recently learning to grow and propagate Melaleuca quinquenervia for my PhD I haven't yet mentioned here...

Master species list for Wategora Reserve in western Sydney now published; I recorded 546 plant species (274 native) in 20 ha urban reserve from 300+ survey hours (2020-2023). Combined with historical surveys (1976-1992), total 727 species. Check it out: tinyurl.com/4b43rwxz

Super excited to announce the publication of the Bilby genome today in Nature Ecology & Evolution tinyurl.com/2s67ck9r Massive effort by a great team of scientists, conservation managers & Indigenous Rangers! Sydney Science Kathy Belov A 🧵

Congratulations to Dr Monica Fahey , winner of the Genetics AustralAsia D. G. Catcheside prize for the top Australasian doctoral student in the field of genetics. #GSA2024

Amazing talk by Monica Fahey on her PhD working with Indigenous Australians using genetics data of culturally important species! Maurizio Rossetto

Using machine learning to link #climate, #phylogeny & #leaf area in eucalypts through a 50-fold expansion of leaf trait datasets🍂 Karina Guo (she/her) Jason Bragg Botanic Gardens of Sydney UNSW Science besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Hey its me!

🤖 Our scientists are using machine learning to delve into the untold history of #plants. Using datasets of unprecedented size, they can now can unlock hidden secrets of the botanical past. 👇 Read the full story bit.ly/4bR1WCV

The next generation of trait ecology will involve measurements with some element of automation. We've tried to pilot some of that for leaf size here with herbarium sheets. Amazing work with Karina Guo (she/her) and Jason Bragg: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13

🍃 Congrats to our Restore & Renew Knowledge Infrastructure Team - finalists for this years' Australian Museum Eureka Prizes for Excellence in #BotanicalScience. 👏 Maurizio Rossetto, Jason Bragg, Samantha Yap, Marlien van der Merwe & Peter D. Wilson! 👉 bit.ly/3WoOWPk #EurekaPrizes

Thank you Nicolas Gross for leading this great effort. Happy to be one of the 2 Australian studies and on Bush Heritage properties and acknowledge #Wankamadla people
