Based at University of Technology Sydney, our research focuses on species ecology and biogeography, using advanced statistical methods and modelling to examine how species and communities interact with their environments across spatial and temporal scales.
🎤 @fredsaltre.bsky.social presenting “Trait-Space divergence & the use of #non-native #mammals in #conservation strategies” as part of the #EnvironmentalFutures #UOW #Seminar Series 🌿

A great opportunity to discuss how better understand & protect #biodiversity 🌏 #Ecology #Research #Science

🐨 New paper out on #Genomics Kangaroo Island #Koalas #Australia. Islands protect species from threats, but...
🔎 Findings:
• KI koalas = lower #genetic #diversity than mainland
• Evidence of inbreeding + maladaptation from a bottleneck
• Genetic rescue needed

Conservation Arks: Genomic Erosion and Inbreeding in an Abundant Island Population of Koalas
The persistence of many threatened species depends on isolated habitat patches such as conservation parks, fenced reserves, and islands. While these ‘conservation arks’ provide refuge from many conte...

🎓 Always a joy to celebrate achievements, but even more special when it’s your students!

Big congrats to Elise Beaumont, Lavinia Stokes & Will Perkins on graduating to #Honours!

Our new research shows northern #Australia’s monsoon #rainfall over 150,000 years was shaped by sea level shifts + coastal proximity, often out of phase with the East Asian #monsoon.

Our new #paper is out!

Sahul’s large-bodied animal #communities have drastically changed since the Late #Pleistocene.

#Mammals and #herbivores were the hardest hit, leading to major shifts in the structure and function of #ecosystems over time. @beamuts.bsky.social @globecoflinders.bsky.social

Attended the @aciucn.bsky.social Species Survival Symposium. 🌧️ Weather aside, it was brilliant to reconnect, share research cross-sectors, and listen to #FirstNations, backing their leadership in healing Country.
