Great and concerning piece by @joe__fontaine. The forest around our home are browning and it’s going to be tough time for so many species! abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
Cool bee news!
Mala is using solar energy to recharge the #bluedog battery
After three weeks of no internet or landline (and no resolution) due to a freak storm, in a bushfire prone area, in high summer-today’s parcel is much anticipated! #byetelstra
Holiday time means a little time for drawing! Practice on #bluedog eye
I’m confounded by this message about Leadbeater’s possum on my son’s scrapbook, given the main threat is habitat loss from logging! 🤪

Ballistichory is a sound of summer. Heat wave conditions this week in south west WA have pushed these Hardenbergia comptoniana seed pods to get popping all over our jarrah forest home. Promises of future purple cascades festooning the trees
The latest installment in the series ‘proteas that have flowered in my garden for the first time is’: Protea magnifica 😍
My job takes me to amazing places and I see amazing things. Yesterday was a first for me, seeing a pig running out of a swamp full pelt towards me, so close I could have touched it! I yelled and jumped about, and the pig took off through the forest, both of us changed forever 😆
In between fieldwork this year, I made a wedding cake!
I’ve broken a tooth and the appointment time I have is…2.30pm! RIP me, I’ve gone to pun heaven today!
It’s not everyday you get to hold hands with your study species! Such cute furry faces on these thynnids! 😍
Little #orchid pollinating wasps heading back out into the world after being swabbed for pollen. Hopefully I will see them again and they can tell me how they move between bushland fragments and what they eat!

@DrBelbird It was indeed. But. I am oddly grateful for the experience because it made me even more driven to do well and NOT be that kind of scientist when a first-year undergrad reaches out to me. ♥️
Powerhouse group of lady scientists from @awconservancy at the #ICTC2023 last week, where we presented three talks and two posters on topics including animal health, habitat suitability and genetics in #ConservationTranslocations
Eureka!!! We built a bunch of rock piles scattered around our block in the hope that they would provide habitat for any of the local reptiles. This one is getting a vote of confidence from one of the sand monitors (Varanus gouldii) that live here🦎 #Gnurlunga #YamajiCountry
@DrBelbird @EKrepinska Caught this guy in the act as well 🤠
a very cool piece of research on #Drosera #sundew #carnivorousplants
I am really excited to report one of the most exciting findings that we found!! 🌿Summary: we identified a fungus that is ecologically dominant and lives on the stalk gland of sundew! And the fungus facilitates its prey digestion!!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… thread below⬇️
Always fun to publish more orchid research! An interesting finding we found while trying to symbiotically germinate a rare sun-orchid. The culture age of mycorrhizal fungi once removed from the orchid host greatly affects germination sucess: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Warm day in the field, I have seen many bees approaching blue sun #orchids, I love #Augusta and its vibrant #flora and #bees! Also, it was very nice to meet @DrBelbird doing orchid research here ! #research #fieldwork #pollination
