So excited to announce a new continuing Lecturer/Senior Lecturer appointment (tenure track) in population or community ecology @Unimelb. Please distribute and contact me with any questions jobs.unimelb.edu.au/en/job/910051/…

Absolutely stoked to announce that after years of hard work, we have our first successful breeding for reintroduced pine hoverfly in the wild!🥳

We'll need to follow up with more releases and continued success, but it's a big step forward for this critically endangered species.
