- Just witnessed a local pest control company spray the outside of entire doublestorey house and garden - in 30km/h winds. Does anybody know a) what they typically use, and b) how on *earth* that's allowed?! They even blasted the shrubs in the garden and nature strip. ping @lizzylowe.bsky.social

- Hi #ausmammal crew. Do we have any kind of database of known survival rates or other demographic details for Australian mammals? e.g. the kind that could be plugged into a PVA? Trawling the literature isn't yielding much at the moment @euanritchie.bsky.social
- I was so impressed with the recent slow down in email traffic - until I realised that it was not, in fact, a change of work culture but rather that Gmail stopped retrieving 80% of my email from outlook 🤦🏻♀️ Sorry if you’ve emailed me recently! I didn’t see it. I * did* have a nice week though.

- Some great tips coming through for managing expectations while working part-time
- Hey fellow part-time academics! What are your tips on managing workloads and expectations on your time? Hoping to get better at this in 2025. Do you set out of office replies on non work days? Do you just say no a lot? or are you some kind of timelord? #academicmama #academicchatter
- Sorry #ESAus2024, I’ve made a sneaky exit. I’ve got to get home to be yelled at by some tiny humans, er, I mean, parenting responsibilities. Thanks so much for having me. You’ve been swell. Get in touch!

- Reposted by Dr Kylie SoanesHappy Wrensday! @drkyliesoanes.bsky.social & I are in the middle of a Melbourne-wide #urban bird bioblitz this week, with citizen scientists across several local councils conducting 15-min "Wren Watches" 🌏🪶 It's exciting to see sightings coming in on iNaturalist! superbcitywrens.com/2024/11/07/m...

- Wren-watch 2024 - get on board! Our coordinated, multi council #citizenscience starts Sunday in Melbourne. Head to our page to see the list of partners and more resources than you can poke a stick at (or plug “superb city wrens” into your fave search engine). #urbanecology @hollykirk.bsky.social
- Been a while since I was in a town where these beauties still stand tall #urbanforest #noticingnature
- Just a few days to go until our first coordinated, multi-council Wren-Watch starts! We want you all out there telling us about little bush birds in Melbourne, especially superb fairy-wrens. #citizenscience #urbanecology

- I haven’t been on here much, but it makes sense to open with exciting news! The second swan nest on the Birrarung-Yarra floating wetlands has hatched 😊 #urbanbiodiversity #citizenscience #urbanecology
- Most of us will have seen images of crossing structures like this by now. They’re becoming popular all over the world, for everything from crabs to cougars. But how well do they actually work? Do they mitigate the barrier effect of roads on wildlife movement?🧵coming
- Here’s a fun little tale about Melbourne’s floating wetlands experiment. Featuring Science, Birds, Conservation, And Shania Twain #urbanwildlife #wildoz 🪶 🧪https://www.ecolsoc.org.au/bulletin/floating-wetlands-wildlife-habitat/
