Our new paper describes the 1,150 species we found in our urban backyard in Brisbane City over 1yr. Trees, shrubs, & weeds (instead of manicured lawn) provided lots of habitat for a shocking amount of wildlife on an urban lot doi.org/10.1002/ecy.42… in Ecology

Plenary: Company footprints: some the size of small countries, Mars, Incorporated is pictured here & is smaller than others such as Nestle. “Access & benefit sharing is required” for the local populations in the indigenous lands these business occupies #SER2023 decadeonrestoration.org/es/node/5273

If like me, you've done germination trials and the raw data is just sitting around, I can help you get this valuable info into the database!

If you're GOING to do germination trials, the SeedArc submission spreadsheet is an excellent template for the data you should record

Why are trees & turf seen as more “accessible”?! Biodiversity in the city is few and far between, especially a man-made success. I love this space! It is a great example for #urbanecology . Do better, lead better, think better 👏👏👏Basil Zempilas City of Perth

A good find by volunteer student in the field…only 2 minutes after receiving a phone call to say my new glasses were ready for pickup 🤪🤓. Top pockets are not a good location for things during fieldwork! 🦺🤦‍♀️🌱

📚🌱 Exciting news! Our new paper is out now! 📄🎉
We explored the fascinating effects of different concentrations of cyanobacteria on the germination and seedling growth of keystone plant species used in dryland restoration. 🌿 🧪
