Looking for some good news on your Tuesday morning? We have been busy translocating and monitoring lowland Leadbeater's possums. So far the trial results are looking positive and we are thrilled to share it with you.

‘We can’t afford to get this wrong’: relocating Leadbeater’s possums is risky – but it’s their only chance theguardian.com/environment/…

1/3. BIG conservation news for the lowland Leadbeater's Possum! 📢 A translocation trial is underway that involves moving a third of the world’s population of Critically Endangered lowland Leadbeater’s Possums to a new forest home in Victoria’s north east.

How do you decide where to search for undetected populations of a cryptic, and critically endangered species across vast areas? Using a combination of SDMs and decision support tools – this paper led by @ArabellaEyre shows you how onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
It's been a while in the making, but the paper from my masters has been published in @consbiog!
We paired SDMs with decision tools to direct surveys for the critically endangered Leadbeater's possum outside its range. doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13469
All the thanks in the world go to my amazing supervisors/team poss @pelentini, @njbriscoe, Dan Harley, @Lindy_Lumsden, and @leomccomb. @ZoosVictoria @UniMelb

Pleased to say that my masters research has been published in @AnimalConserv. We examined the thermal suitability and occupancy of artificial dens for Leadbeater’s possum across habitat types and during temperature extremes

Have any other ecologists tried making a camera trap with a #RaspberryPi? I’m interested to see how well the infrared cameras work and if they had many problems in the field
One of Australia’s small burrowing species, the New Holland Mouse is found in a handful of locations in south-eastern Australia. The species was once thought to be extinct but was rediscovered in 1967. Soon this #TSBakeOff cake will go extinct (be eaten) too

The first of 32 Critically Endangered Helmeted Honeyeaters have been released to a new site on the edge of Yarra Ranges National Park. With Helmeted Honeyeaters in both Yellingbo and O’Shannassy, it greatly strengthens the long-term survival prospects for this species! Go team!

20 Critically Endangered Eastern Barred Bandicoots are now roaming free at a conservation reserve in Dunkeld, under the watchful eyes of two very important pups 🐶🐶. A big thanks to @UTAS_, Dunkeld Pastoral Company, @PhillipIslandNP and @ParksVictoria.

Hey tweeps, how far would you expect brush tail possums to move per night if released (illegally) into a possum free area? Would you expect them to hang around the release location or move far and wide?

Great celebration at @ZoosVictoria Melbourne on Wed March 10 to commemorate Leadbeater’s Possum & Helmeted Honeyeater... 50 years faunal emblems of Victoria Woohoo!

Fantastic! Does that mean that Special Management Zones for Smoky Mice act as exclusion zones?
