Big thanks to @deannicolle1.bsky.social for generously showing us around his Currency Creek Arboretum this morning. What a wonderful and unique place to explore all the wonderful Eucalypts that are out there! Great way to wrap up @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 in #adelaide.

Drone-derived densities for surveyed areas of 100–200 ha were significantly lower than those extrapolated from 10-ha ground survey results, indicating that ground survey transect placement, accessibility, vegetation density and habitat surveyed significantly drive resulting population estimates.

Drones achieved high detection rates for targeted wildlife and consistently recorded more species and individuals than ground-based surveys. Ground surveys often missed
specialist species like the endangered southern #greaterglider when populations had low densities.

@mandaloca2.bsky.social showing us that #dingoes have social networks too. Great talk on social interactions and drivers of population density of vulnerable Victorian dingoes at #iccb2025

At #ICCB2025? If you’re interested in #drones, arboreal #mammals and their recovery patterns in state #forests, I’d be keen to walk you through my poster! See me Monday at 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM in Great Hall 3 & 4 - Poster Board 32.
Looking forward to catch up with friends and colleagues soon!

High deforestation risk were consistently forecasted in lowland regions across four deforestation scenarios. This highlights the importance of protecting high diversity lowlands from future deforestation.

I submitted some photos to this year’s #VicBioCon25 photo competition. If you like them, consider giving them a vote :)

New #greaterglider research out, led by ARI’s talented Justin Cally. We looked into the effects of the large scale storm calamity in the wombat state forest in Victoria’s west on greater glider habitat:
