Came across a cluster of Mountain Dragons in recent fieldwork. How many can you see? 👀 #WildOz

Exciting new research led by Tim Cutajar using #iDNA - invertebrate derived #DNA - to suvey #biodiversity. 🪰🧬 By sequencing the DNA in the blood meals of biting invertebrates, they unexpectedly detected invasive & threatened species! 🦎🐄🐕 australian.museum/blog/amri-news…

Our latest research highlights the urgent need for conservation management of the endangered Littlejohn's Tree Frog. Genetic data reveals 5 distinct clusters, small populations and loss of genetic diveristy. #BioDiversityCrisis #conservation #frogs rdcu.be/da5Ub

New paper from the lab led by the awesome Rose and Kristoffer in collaboration with the wonderful Shinichi Nakagawa | 中川震一, Patrice Pottier, Maider. The paper evolved from work done by Rose during her two undergraduate projects in the lab! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… A 🧵

You can never post too many photos of a Notaden bennettii 😈 A recent lucky find slightly out of season! #WildOz

I'm looking for #Honours students to work on #frog conservation projects with my and my team, based in Sydney at UNSW Science & AMRI. 🐸 First deadline is July 30 for a September start but projects available next year too. Please share widely!

Are farm dams good for #frogs? Yes! Farm dams provide valuable habitat for Australian frog species, including threatened species. New research based largely on FrogID data thanks to citizen scientists across the country! theconversation.com/our-unsung-far…

Lol who did this

Spring has sprung 🌿🌸🐸 #wildoz

miss Meatball grew a lot larger this year but not a lot wiser

Have you downloaded the FrogID app yet?! 📱 It’s #FrogIDWeek and we’re calling on people from right across Australia to download our FrogID app and help record frog calls! 🐸 Get started now by downloading the free FrogID app at frogid.net.au. #frogidweek @frogidaus

One of my favourite things about living in #Canberra is the amazing #bird life- it's hard not to smile with gang gang parrots outside my office door! #WildOz

A snap from a recent walk through Molongolo Gorge, ACT ❤️

We’re aiming to understand the current distribution of Christmas Beetles through observations. Jump onto our inaturalist project and add your Christmas beetle sightings! inaturalist.org/projects/chris… #invertebratesaustralia #wildoz #christmasbeetlecount #insectconservation

#Pesticides detected in 36% of Australian frogs, including Brodifacoum in 17% of the frogs. This is the first report of #rodenticides – chemicals meant to poison only rodents – in wild #frogs. Damian Lettoof theconversation.com/we-found-pesti…

Dusting off my account for the #WCH10, so many amazing talks lined up- can't wait to see old faces and new!

The whistling tree frog has high chytrid infection in adults, but very low prevalence in tadpoles. This is very unique! And I'll be talking about it today at 4pm in the GARD symposium (room 14) at #WCH10
