Are you an ecologist or environmental practitioner in #Australia? Then contribute your skills to the Habitat Condition Assessment Tool (HCAT) by #CSIRO & ALA. You can score ecosystem condition at sites you know & help build a national condition dataset 🌏🧪

Get involved: biocollect.ala.org.au/hcat

it's actually on my list! Although I am so slow to make new videos who knows when I will find the time.

YouTube video by Dr Sam Munroe What is an ecosystem? You might be surprised...

Back to basics on the channel with a new playlist called Ecology 101. This series tackles key concepts to teach the fundamentals of #ecology 🌏🧪.

This video answers the question "What is an Ecosystem?" The answer might surprise you! #nature #environment #wildlife

YouTube video by Dr Sam Munroe The Unexpected Ways Roads Are Changing Nature

Just posted a new video to the channel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=srW2...

Roads connect us. But what if the very thing that keeps us moving is quietly reshaping the natural world? #ecology #science #wildlife #biology #nature #environment 🌏🧪

For #ScienceWeek, let me share my fave tool: my portable centrifuge 💙 During my PhD, I studied the diet of #sharks by spinning blood samples to extract plasma. I measured stable isotope values of plasma to find out what they ate. Years of sea spray took it down #CSIROSuperStarsofSTEM #WomeninScience

Celebrating National Science Week, #CSIRO Superstars of STEM are sharing their favourite piece of science.

Superstars of STEM is a #ScienceAndTechnologyAustralia program smashing gender assumptions and creating diverse STEM voices to inspire the next generation.

To everything there is a season… and the season for fieldwork ends when you get promoted #Ecology #AcademicLife #ResearchLife #SciComm 🌎🧪

Great piece in today's NYTimes on the recent acceleration of global warming (and its impacts), featuring comments from Kate Marvel, Daniel Swain, Cecilia Bitz, and me: www.nytimes.com/2025...

This is why relying on charity to fund essential services is a truly wild policy choice.

Plan to increase lethal shark control in Queensland 'baffling' to scientist The KPMG report stresses that while “traditional measures” are still required, the program needs to transition away from “environmentally harmful practices”, such as drumlines and mesh nets.

After a year away from the channel, I am diving back into the world of content creation! To kick start things once again, I watch and review the shark science and ecology in "Under Paris" (better late than never!) #sharks #science #ecology #marinebiology🌏

Trace element and δ13C values of the banana prawn Penaeus merguiensis reveal the importance of catchment-derived resources across both estuarine and nearshore habitats Wet season freshwater flows deliver catchment nutrients (terrestrial and freshwater) to tropical estuaries that stimulate productivity and support con…

Just published our research on how wet season freshwater flows impact the resource use of banana prawns in coastal habitats 🌊🦐🌏. Flows bring nutrients to estuaries & nearshore prawns, suggesting nearshore prawns are at risk from long-term disruptions in flow. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

#Ep2 of our podcast #Cooked for #ScienceFriction on ABC Radio National is out today! At 11.30 or on ABC listen/where you get podcasts.
It's on the carnivore diet-it's the only ep I don't have a proper matching outfit for, so I made this.
If you have strong feelings, please listen before shouting.

Hi Erik, I would like to be added to the science feed. The post for ecologists no longer exists, so I am hoping you can check my credentials. I am a scientist in Australia. Here is my profile with CSIRO and google scholar people.csiro.au/m/s/samantha...

Quaternary plant macrofossils from Robertson Cave, Naracoorte, South Australia: vegetative remains Recently discovered fossils from Naracoorte Caves have enabled reconstruction of the local palaeovegetation of the Naracoorte region and improved understanding of floristic changes that occurred du...

Proud of PhD student Rachel Atkins for her latest paper! For her thesis, she's using #fossils to reconstruct past ecosystems & understand the effects of climate change on South Australian plants. Here she describes plant fossils from caves ~ 820–24,230 years BP 🌏

Koala Spotter – Apps on Google Play Koala Spotter allows you to capture Australian Koala sightings for conservation

The #SouthAustralia Great #Koala Count might be over, but you should keep counting koalas! Download the #CSIRO Koala Spotter app today to count koalas for the National Koala Monitoring Program. Data will help determine the population status of these furry icons.

I made a starter pack of my fellow shark science and conservation professionals. There were about 350 of us on Twitter so we’ve got a ways to go, but many are here! Follow them and get more sharks in your feed, which I assume everyone wants. 🧪🌎🦑🦈

Starting fresh on BlueSky, so here is my research so far in a brain cloud. It is missing a lot of my science communication work and reports, so try to imagine "Koalas", "YouTube" and "Environmental Markets" shoved in there somewhere!
#ecology #science

Took me long enough!

It’s time for the SA Great #Koala Count! November 16-23rd, we need South Australians to help count koalas. Download the Koala Spotter app & record koalas you see in your area. You'll be supporting the CSIRO National Koala Monitoring Program. Learn more greatkoalacount.nkmp.org.au
