Hey @inaturalist.bsky.social, we need to chat about your AI identification skills when it comes to dingoes. #NotADog

Conference ready! Day 1 of 3.

#ACSME #ACSME2025

Been spending my Saturday mornings at the Dingo Discovery Sanctuary with these gorgeous folk and more!

Thank you, appreciate the response. You do definitely convey that there is nuance and their importance. It’s one of the big debates here about dingoes as you probably already know. What are your thoughts on indigenous vs native? Can something be native but not indigenous?

Hi Jack, wondering why you refer to dingoes as not a native species in the book?

Under Australian legislation anything in Australia prior to 1400 is classified as native, so dingoes fit this description.

Had an incredible day on Friday while checking cameras. We saw not one, not two, but THREE DINGOES!! Here's one of our favourite photos from the encounter.

Got quite a few board games this year for Christmas including Cascadia which was a fun, ecosystem building game! Played the first time against @rdashworth.bsky.social tonight. 98-84 in my favour! #boardgame

I share your love for the platypus, and it is also my favourite animal! I’m very keen to read this. 😊

Just starting on one of my Christmas presents! Platypus Matters by @jackdashby.bsky.social!

A Christma tradition… don’t mind the imperfections.

Officially back to full-time #PhD study load. Ready for the final 6 month push to complete my thesis!

That's a wrap on ESA2024! We're so beyond grateful for everyone who attended and presented at our biggest conference ~ever~ 🎉

We'll see you in Adelaide next year (Nov 23-28) for ESA2025!

When there’s a whole session on detection dogs at #ESAus24 you know I’m going to be there!

Thank you!

Lots of public land (1/3) is in streetscapes!

What biodiversity can live in streetscapes?

Now we are hearing from Lee Harrison (City of Melbourne) and Nick S Williams (University of Melbourne) about their award winning Streetscape Biodiversity project!
