Yay, we are finally on Twitter! Come share the love of wildlife and join the conversation about how we use science to improve the conservation and management of biodiversity. #firsttweet

There are so many lessons in conservation that are best learned outside the traditional classroom. Here our students are talking conservation, the environment, & the future with the indigenous Kelabit tribe in the Kelabit highlands of Borneo. What a great learning environment!

Did you know? There is a growing body of evidence that a connection with nature improves the mental and physical health of humans. If we designed our cities more sympathetically for nature we could have improved human health and lowered healthcare costs.

Fun fact. Male Antechinus all die before they reach their 1st birthday. After breeding they go through the classic dasyurid male die-off. So for a period of time the adult population is all female. No birthday parties for these great little Aussie mammals.

Hot off the Press! Joining the dots; How do Urban Powerful Owls move through urbanising landscapes. So much hard work by our amazing team to collect this data. And it's open access! Enjoy 😀 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

GPS trackers and urban powerful owls. What can this amazing pairing tell us about movement and behaviour of an urban predator? Lots! Congrats to Nick Carter on his first paper! Open access available here 👉sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

And check out these cool maps. Foraging behaviours and short movements heavily tied to Riparian vegetation and high tree cover.

This is tonight's target for a new Urban Powerful Owls GPS tracker. Currently in a willow with prey. #wildoz

Just had the somewhat interesting experience of watching and listening to a powerful owl eat a possum. #wildoz

A serious set of talons. Looking very much like we just caught another male. Tracker going on now 😀

I just love this shot. A very large male powerful taking off after being fitted with a GPS tracker.

What a night! Got back one of our GPS loggers from an urban powerful owl. 40 nights data & 1678 amazing data points!

Heading back to Borneo tomorrow night. 18 Deakin University Enviro students exploring conservation and sustainability from an Asian perspective.
