Our Science Committee member Sarah legge recently told ABC News only about 15% of the animals killed by roaming pet cats are brought back home. We never see most of the impacts that our pet cats have on our local native wildlife.

New Curtin University-led #research has found #iDNA collected from flies has been used to track the movements of Australia's native species across the WA wheatbelt, with hopes to improve conservation efforts in the region. bit.ly/44hlH3P Bill Bateman Kristen Fernandes

Our Centre Director Stephen van Leeuwen recently co-authored an article arguing for species conservation through collaborative management that empowers Indigenous stewardship of Country. Check out the link below for the full PDF. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #HealingCountry #Indigenous

Recently reintroduced numbats going strong at Secret Rocks - adults settling in well and females with pouch young - the first numbats born on the Eyre Peninsula in probably over 150 years @TSCommissioner

fabulous to see Matuwa recognised as a jointly managed national park with the local Martu people. it's a place close to my heart as I spent 7+ years working there, reintroducing bilby, mala, possums, boodies, golden bandicoots and shark bay mice. a 📸 #wildoz thread

🌍 It's World #BiodiversityDay! 🌿🐝 Did you know that biodiversity is essential for the health of our #ecosystems and our own well-being? Find out how Australia's biodiversity is fairing in the latest #AusEnv2022 report below! 🔗 ausenv.online/aer/biodiversi…

On National Sorry Day, we reflect on intergenerational impacts of injustice, & honour the strength & resilience of Indigenous people. We invite you to listen to Indigenous voices, learn from their experiences, & join them in being a powerful force for healing and reconciliation.

🌱📰New paper led by Michael Just on germination physiology of Cochlospermum fraseri (Bixaceae). The authors aimed to determine how seed dormancy might be alleviated, and conditions that support germination to inform the use of this species in restoration. academic.oup.com/conphys/articl…

I have a funded PhD project for someone! It's a good mix of landscape ecology and biology with cool fieldwork, and will build skills in genomics and data analysis. Focal species are native and invasive inverts. Please tell anyone who might be interested! shorturl.at/emuvw
