Murray Watt, Commonwealth Minister for the Environment and Water, speaking at the Invasive Species Council Event in Adelaide tonight. Announced a bit more cash to removing cats from Kangaroo Island
World famous (on Kangaroo Island)! @globecoflinders.bsky.social people (Caitlin, Pete & Corey) on the front page of The Islander #feralpigs #eradication #invasivespecies @not-a-dr.bsky.social

Visited sobering & tragic #Wybalenna (Flinders Isl): site of most deaths of #Aboriginal Tasmanians in custody (> 100 in ~ 2 yrs) This is chief #Manakalina of the #truwulway of #lumaranatana, the only #Aboriginal person with a monument Everyone else just dumped & graves pilfered for 'curiosities'
Cool visitor to Flinders Island this morning. Very far from home, young leopard seal 🦭
Everyone loves wombats, especially blond wombats (Flinders Island, Tasmania)
Legolas the dainty green tree #frog (Litoria gracilenta) still going strong in the paludarium. 4.5 years since we found her in a plant imported from Queensland, and still going strong
Voodoo-doll me, right down to the earrings, rings, and tats (oh, and the frog on my head) Better not let this get into the hands of my enemies, or I might be doing a lot of involuntary yoga (thank-you gift from recently completed PhD student)
Hello, beautiful! Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) on Kangaroo Island
Felix Dies Ludi Piscatorii! Today is the Roman holiday celebrated by fishers to honour the Tiber. Apparently we have to sacrifice all fish caught today at a Temple of Vulcan (the fire god's temple, of course)
I've always loved the mathematical perfection of perwinkle (Lunella undulata) opercula #Fibonacci

Wow. More than 17,300 downloads in 2 weeks since publication: Global human population has surpassed Earth’s sustainable carrying capacity iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... #overpopulation
How do you compare the relative extent and potential ecological impacts of different invasive species without actual impact data? Simple. Compare their total biomasses Quantifying the magnitude of biological invasions using total biomass doi.org/10.1093/bios... #invasivespecies

Great community of invasive-species professionals, researchers, politicians, landholders & public servants at the Invasive Species Council-hosted community BBQ in Strathalbyn this evening.

Pour les francophones parmi vous, mon ami le grand Professeur Richard Cloutier parle à la Radio-Canada à propos de la disparition des postes en paléontologie francophone ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premie... Il parle aussi de la mythe persistante de l'existence continue du Mégalodon

Hooray! @seamus-doherty.bsky.social just conferred his #PhD today after many years working in @globecoflinders.bsky.social @flindersuniversity.bsky.social! Congratulations, Seamus
Did some filming yesterday with the @abcnewsbot.bsky.social in #BelairNationalPark for a #koala piece based on a paper led by @fredsaltre.bsky.social of @beamuts.bsky.social coming out (hopefully) next week @flindersuniversity.bsky.social
Many sport organisations have capitalised on wildlife iconography to develop their brand. Representations of wildlife in sport offer enormous potential for shifting social norms, raising funds & promoting biodiversity conservation initiatives within the industry doi.org/10.1093/bios...
