New study on bamboo dominance and forest regeneration! After synchronized flowering and die-off, bamboo-dominated plots had higher seedling abundance and richness; die-off didn't enhance seedling vertical growth. #AustralEcology @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/3J5iLxR
In #AustralEcology. Lack of ecological knowledge is a major challenge for effective conservation of threatened plant species in Australia. Rapid on-ground surveys can be more cost effective for long-term conservation outcomes. bit.ly/4aHFNqw @WileyEcolEvol @EcolSocAus
My study from last year showed how a prescribed burn conducted exactly to prescription killed 77% of a critically endangered species in the block. #AustralEcology tell me it's a #TopCitedArticle; we need change now. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Exciting findings in #AustralEcology: a study on bandicoots reveals the power of in situ exposure to native predators in combating prey naivety, highlighting how living with western quolls enhances anti-predator behaviours. @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/3w4sdi3
New in #AustralEcology. Our results indicate that Australian alpine shrub litter decomposes most readily soon after deployment, which in this study was after a snowy winter at the start of spring. bit.ly/3VPUV10 @WileyEcolEvol @EcolSocAus
A new study in #AustralEcology gives new insights into how environmental factors influence ploidy levels in a Drakensberg near-endemic taxon; and the intricate relationship between soil properties, temperature, and plant traits. @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/3IRYAna
New research unveils the previously unknown phonation abilities of worm lizards. Learn how an adult female of Amphisbaena alba emitted a distinct sound with potential defensive or communicative functions. bit.ly/49T4Eb1 #AustralEcology @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol
New #NaturalHistoryNote in #AustralEcology sheds light on the behaviour of Heath Monitors in Victoria's Little Desert National Park! Revealing its predatory habits and the use of hollow logs as shelter. #AustralEcology @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol Read more: bit.ly/4ag9uPD
New research in #AustralEcology delves into the threats facing subalpine forests, particularly in south-eastern Australia. Read how the increased activity of a native wood-boring beetle may be contributing to widespread dieback. bit.ly/3IRdnyk @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol
Exciting research in #AustralEcology explores the potential of owl pellet analysis to estimate small mammal diversity in arid environments, to complement traditional trapping, offering valuable insights for conservation efforts. @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/43Ctx8B

New in #AustralEcology. This study has shown how a variety of diversity metrics and landscape analyses can inform on priority areas for biodiversity conservation in the heathlands of increasingly urbanized regions in Australia. bit.ly/3vgr86A @WileyEcolEvol @EcolSocAus
In #AustralEcology, this note documents the first record of the invasive buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris nesting in an above-ground nest box deployed for birds in Australia. bit.ly/3RWpu1q @WileyEcolEvol @EcolSocAus
An Australian amphibian was found using flooded crayfish burrows for egg clutches, showcasing an intriguing case of extended phenotypes. This behaviour could aid amphibian persistence amid climate change impacts. #AustralEcology @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/49S1pAE
Exciting findings from this new study on #AustralEcology! Studying survival, natal dispersal & shelter site choice of subadult western quolls. High survival rates observed, with evidence of improvement over time. @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/3Tj1Fl8
New in #AustralEcology. During heatwaves, animal's thermal window can be exceeded. We found a significant negative relationship between roost ambient temperature and humidity. bit.ly/3w3xyWK @WileyEcolEvol @EcolSocAus
New in #AustralEcology. 12% of Australian squamates are either Data Deficient or Not Evaluated. Our findings highlight key traits and a list of Data Deficient and Not Evaluated species that should be prioritized for research. bit.ly/3w6oala @WileyEcolEvol @EcolSocAus
