This month, #translocation specialists from around the world are meeting for a major conference on conservation translocations. AWC has translocated 20+ species to 10 sanctuaries, & several AWC scientists are presenting at the conference. bit.ly/AWC-Translocat… 📸B Leue/#AWC

🚨Out TODAY🚨 in Royal Society Publishing our experimental work showing that additional #noise constrains #heterospecific #eavesdropping more than conspecific reception of #alarm #calls. #fairywrens #scrubwrens #playbacks royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10… ourANU Science & Medicine at ANU University of Bristol Biological Sciences
