Hello from a ptair of Ptunarras!

We have #excitingnews ! The TLC Science Team had a series of remote cameras out at one of our newest reserves, Sloping Main. We were surprised and delighted to see a healthy male #spottedtailedquoll turn up on a couple of our cameras!

The palawa kani name for the Tasmanian devil is “purinina”

Requires no consultation with Warner Brothers, just honest conversations with the palawa peoples of lutruwita, Tasmania

Out surveying for Ptunarra brown butterflies at the Vale of Belvoir 🦋🦋

This year, we recorded almost 4,000 of this endangered species, which only occurs in the upland Poa grasslands of Tasmania - seems like it’s a good year to be a Ptunarra!

One more tool!

This recent paper presented 'Sherlock' a solution to process #cameratrapping pictures.
Characteristics:
1⃣Flexible
2⃣low-resource algorithm
3⃣accessible to researchers with little or no computing background

Looking forward to test!
