Over the last 5 years I've been writing a book, and the e-book version is out now! link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… Complete with code boxes, maths boxes, ninjas and the odd Australianism which I hope won't get lost in translation. Solutions and supporting code in ecostats package on CRAN
Our kanakana/piharau/pouched lamprey genomic paper (final version) was published today 😁🧬🧬🐟 Complete with our te reo abstract! 😁 Thank you to everyone who made this possible! academic.oup.com/jhered/advance…
Thread: you know how there's debate about planting of native forests vs pines to reduce carbon? Huge up front costs either way, and takes a while to get up and running. What I find surprising is that we have an existing asset that can reduce our emissions significantly 1/n
New Zealand’s seven Crown Research Institutes have created the National Environmental Data Centre website to make the environmental information they hold more accessible to all New Zealanders. 💻 📊 Check it out at ➡️ nedc.nz niwa.co.nz/news/easy-acce…
Having completed aerial surveys across 750 reefs, @gbrmarinepark today confirms a mass coral bleaching event on the #GreatBarrierReef. The 4th since 2016. We must, rapidly and drastically, reduce carbon emissions. It can't be any clearer than this. #climatechange #bleaching

This is not a photo from 1941. This is a photo from March 2022 with all the color taken out. A chilling reminder that history repeats... 🇺🇦🕊🇷🇺
For #WorldWetlandsDay we are proud to release the final cover page of our book on wetland scientists and their work. We love the colours and stunning landscape of this photo taken along the Ohakune Waitonga Falls walk by Shaun Lee. Book in stores this July.
New meta-analysis led by @FrancoisKeck @altermatt_lab finds that aquatic eDNA #biodiversity sampling is strongly congruent with traditional methods for fish communities, but are more complementary for plankton, periphyton, and macroinvertebrates onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
Imagine your children's entire life occurring along that dotted line...
Stuart Robert university grant vetoes met with outcry. Morrison government’s intervention in blocking research projects including one relating to climate action and democracy “beggars belief”. afr.com/policy/health-…
Where could the brown long-eared bat be, I wonder? 🤔
I repeat- I haven’t been this excited about a discovery since CRISPR. We found something enigmatic that, like CRISPR, is associated with microbial genomes. We have named these unique entities #BORGs
I just want to say, that we have had a state in Australia fighting down, not one, but two super-spreader variants of COVID. By they time the first case was found, it was already in two aged care facilities. And the team was already over week behind. /2
