A thread on my current research focus: the Myall Lakes #Dingo Project. There's so much we need to learn, so really hoping we can continue to grow this (when we can get back out there of course). @CES_UNSW @unswbees @tarongazoo @PitcherBen @BrendanAlting @nswenviromedia

Through the Myall Lakes Dingo Project, Taronga’s #science team are quickly developing an understanding of the #dingo population. #MyallLakesNationalPark, a beautiful coastal area, has a very pure dingo population of high #conservation value. #ScienceWeek PC: Bobby-Jo Vial

A study led by UNSW Dr @kate_cornelsen has gathered vital insights from greater bilbies at Taronga Western Plains Zoo into how bilbies would cope if reintroduced to temperate areas. Read more about the surprising bilby behaviour uncovered in this research: unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/20…

Bilbies bred in a sanctuary in Dubbo have provided researchers with vital clues about how they would fare in temperate Australia where they once thrived.

Did YOU know that both the location of conspecifics AND their social composition can influence habitat selection in a large, territorial carnivore?? in collaboration with: @HWConflict @NathanRanc @ChrisWilmers @WildEntrust onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Really happy with this chapter synthesizing the social & #hunting #ecology of #Africanwilddogs. A highly social & #cooperative effort with an excellent team - just like the subject! My favourite thing to write so far. Check out the rest of the book too! rdcu.be/dnfpv

Was this paper worth 1000 core shots to my poor sweet skis (not to mention my face)? HARD YES. It reminded me how much more we learn from surprising results than from what we expect. When I found opposite interactions between prey availability and roads vs. trails... 🧵[1/4]

📰Published📰 @kristinjbarker et al. use novel data from wolf kill sites, to show that accounting for human influences is important for explaining wolf predation patterns. However, wolves may not alter behaviour in areas where prey are scarce. doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13…

Fascinating! Not yet peer-reviewed, but study design and analysis appear solid. Evidence elephants have different vocalisations when “calling” different members of their family group. And these are not just mimics of the receivers call (like dolphins) iflscience.com/african-eleph…

The elephants seem to address each other with individual vocal labels, and not by simply copying each other’s calls.

We just published *new research* on how wolves and other predators have a unique and irreplaceable role in ecosystems by creating or preventing ‘ecological hotspots’, which are localized areas that are disproportionately important for many plants and animals (see photos).
Arctic foxes are a great example of a predator that creates ecological hotspots...check out the next few photos. Photo credit: Chloé Warret Rodrigues.

Predators can create ecological hotspots by carrying prey remains back to dens or nests in either their mouths or stomach. When doing this predators are in essence transporting nutrients back to a localized area. Kinda like fertilizing a garden or lawn.
