This local habitat is under immediate threat from development. It is one of the few places in the greater Brisbane area that contains the iconic Frill-necked Lizard! The endangered Collared Delma (Delma torquata) is also suspected to be here. Petition: queenslandconservation.org.au/save_woogaroo_…

🚨Very cool PhD project alert🚨!! With an equally cool (& smart) supervisor, April Reside 🦇. Species are declining throughout Australia, and reptiles are no exception. So, researching them will help guide policy, education, and future research in this important field. Details 👇

Sea snakes, venom, and volcanoes! Our new snake episode just dropped 💃. It tells the story of finding and studying the world’s only freshwater-lake sea snake ❤️, the Lake Taal Sea Snake (#HydrophisSemperi). Vid link: youtu.be/PNx9O5rwCYY #WCH24 #SeaSnakes #venom

We are so excited to have Christina N. Zdenek, PhD sharing her expertise on #scicomm with #GRSVenom24!

Incredibly excited for #GRSvenom24 mentorship session on #scicomm by the talented Christina N. Zdenek, PhD! Empowering our ECRs to share their research effectively with impact - science isn't done until it's communicated! 😁🐍 GRC Venom

So excited and fortunate to attend #GRCvenom24 conference in Maine, USA this week and to present about snake behaviour and also assassin bug venom function (that’s the content the audience voted to hear about 🤷‍♀️😂)

At #GRCvenom24 in Maine, Matthew L Holding explains molecular interactions of predator-prey interactions via toxins and their resistant targets.

An illuminating and enriching week GRC Venom for #GRCvenom24! From new toxins, molecular targets, & therapeutic promises, to venom ecology & evolution, ~150 delegates from the globe shared largely unpublished work & enjoyed like minds for a week in Maine, USA. Thx, organisers!

Assassin bug venom is anticoagulant! Not surprising since it liquefies tissue it also liquifies clots and things that make clots. We think this exaptation favoured the evolution of venom by kissing bugs Christina N. Zdenek, PhD Glenn King cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Keep your pet cat inside or in a catio or cat run. Your cat will be happier, safer, and healthier, and so too will Australia's wildlife! thenewdaily.com.au/life/science/e… - @SezenBakan The New Daily

Did you know that Assassin Bugs (family Reduviidae) are venomous?! Well, many species have anticoagulant ('blood thinning') venom, & colleagues & I *just* published this paper 💃 in iScience journal, uncovering the evolution, mechanisms of action, & various activities of their venom!

Sometimes you just need a better vantage point to assess the quality of a nest hollow. #PalmCockatooProject

Breaking News: The fed govt approves rocket launch facility at Whalers Way on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. The decision proposes to clear over 23 hectares of Endangered Mallee Whipbird and Southern Emu-wren habitat. Read more here: birdlife.org.au/news/whalers-w…

Some serious structure on Monday’s storm 😳 south of #Brisbane.

We found a Lamington Crayfish! (Eumastacus sulcatus). Here it is in an impressive defensive stance. They mostly venture out at night to forage/mate, but we were lucky to spot this fella on our hike in the World Heritage Lamington Nat’l Park. They are Vulnerable (restricted range)

Our #TinyForest got an effective ‘canopy’ upgrade today! A shade sail for the endemic fernery, enhancing the locally-native habitat garden we have created to support our local declining biodiversity. Where can YOU put a Tiny Forest to cool an area and support biodiversity??

Hi, all. I have decided to jump ship to Blue Sky for more meaningful (& more accurate algorithm) feed, etc. My new profile: bsky.app/profile/cnzden… A final g-bye: A beautiful, subadult Yellow-Spotted Monitor (Varanus panoptes) recently in the Whiterock region, Qld. #WildOz

For #ESAus2024 folks ❤️ not on BlueSky yet, mark the schedule 4 today Thurs @ 14:45 (2:45p) rm101 for my prezzie 💃 if u want to learn about protecting individual old-growth trees from 🔥, making chainsaw-carved hlws, erecting 200+ kg hardwood hollows, & saving Palm Cockatoos!
