📢New publication! AWMS members Sebastien Comte, Andrew Bengsen, Dave Forsyth and colleagues recently published a paper examining the effectiveness of professional culling for control of introduced rusa deer in eastern Aust. Read their paper: doi.org/10.1007/s10530…

We're very proud to share that Trevor Meldrum, Chair of our Board, has been named as one of six Biosecurity Mates ambassadors for Queensland. The new ambassadors will raise community awareness of biosecurity threats to Queensland's unique and precious environment.

Very pleased to announce that the {mvgam} #rstats 📦, which fits State-Space dynamic GAMs to time series, has been released to CRAN. Here is a short blog post to describe current features and future plans: ecogambler.netlify.app/blog/mvgam-on-…

I've found it almost impossible to get an ecology paper through peer-review without comparing 50 different models using AIC. This paper is another nice example of why that's problematic. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

The first paper from my PhD is now on bioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We incorporated temporal dynamics into the movement, selection and memory processes of an SSF, resulting in dynamic simulations that replicated behaviours of water buffalo #animalmovement

Controlling foxes? Keep an eye on those 'brazen' feral cats. 👀 After analysing photos from 3,667 camera traps in southwest Victoria, @matt_w_rees (@CSIRO) + Bronwyn Hradsky (@UniMelb) found feral cats were more abundant in areas where foxes were baited. theconversation.com/baiting-foxes-…

Australia ranks fifth after Brazil, India, Indonesia and Tanzania for deforestation! On average, we destroy over 400,000 hectares of native forests each year. Surely we can protect what’s left. I walked in this remnant Red Gum coastal forest on Darkinjung Country NSW today.

Now my PhD chapters are all published and the burnout has subdued, I wrote a summary of my findings in the @ConversationEDU with @bron_hradsky. Managing interacting invasive predators to protect wildlife is hard work.

Can we stop looking at histograms of animal diel activity and trusting our gut to classify species diel behavior (e.g., nocturnal)? Yes! Out today in @AnimalEcology we present a research methods guide for the Diel.Niche R package! #openaccess #rstats 1/7 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

BREAKING: We will ban new oil and gas developments in the Lake Eyre basin’s rivers and floodplains, protecting Queensland’s channel country.

Platypuses are hard to spot in the wild, but their DNA helps researchers track their presence and disappearance Here, @EcoEmcg + @andrewrweeks (@UniMelb) sampled 118 rivers + creeks before and after the Black Summer bushfires, searching for platypus DNA. theconversation.com/even-platypuse…
