The message from across Western Australia is clear: pet cat confinement laws are urgently needed. This position is backed by a wealth of data and supported by leading animal welfare organisations. The time for talking is over. Solutions are needed now.

The culture in academia that you must be willing to pick up and move anywhere in the world for a TT job prioritizes single men over everyone else. What if you can’t move? What if you have family obligations? What if your spouse has a good job? Or your kids are in a good school?

Our recent review on the potential impact of multiple anthropogenic stressors on avian species. We point out that anthropogenic stressors often occur simultaneously, and thus the joint effects should be considered. Congrats to Grace Blackburn and Camilla Soravia!

Not what you usually think of when you think bee! These are native bees, Brachyhesma, Euryglossinae. We have some of the tiniest bees in the world ! If you’d like to learn more about native bees email me at [email protected] for an ID guide Invertebrates Australia 🪲 Taxonomy Australia

The issue is the threatened species that are threatened but not on the threatened list - like many native #bees eg Leioproctus zephyr jhr.pensoft.net/article/85685/ Invertebrates Australia 🪲 Biodiversity Council
