Good news! #Lyrebirds were thought to be at risk of extinction following recent bushfires. But our post-bushfire camera surveys are revealing lyrebirds are widespread & doing well at this study site in northern NSW, with lyrebirds detected on ~25% of our cameras @DingoResearch
Using AI to detect and identify Kangaroo Island’s #feralcats on 4G cameras is helping eradication efforts on the Dudley Peninsula

Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.
STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

Latest #Bogong moth counts from Mt Gingera in #Namadgi NP are only a little better than last year and still well down on historical levels. #aestivation sites on Mt Gingera may be becoming too hot. See: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… #drought #bogongmoth #AgrotisInfusa #migration

Today was a seven #quoll day! New record for my #phd. Thanks to all quolls who participated #wildoz Ping @DingoResearch @BronFancourt
Our post-bushfire #quoll surveys in December last year found Jacinda, our first juvenile female survivor at one of our long-term predator monitoring sites. Today we found her still going strong, with 3 baby quolls on board. The new generation @hpmilne @JaimeHeiniger @beccherubin

Has anyone used AudioMoths in an open forest or woodland before in Aus? Or can point me in the direction of someone who has or similarly somewhere else? Trying to figure out what kind of range they can accurately work out to but with not much luck.

We're gonna have to retire the expression "avoid it like the plague" because it turns out humans do not do that
