Our researchers have developed a powerful risk mapping tool to help prevent fatal collisions between endangered wedge-tailed eagles and overhead power lines. The model is already helping guide conservation strategies across Tasmania. Read more: utas.au/Tracking_

I'm really excited to be in Brissy for #ICCB2025!
Come see me Tuesday during the poster session (Poster 61), where I'll detail some questions that can be asked with the recently published Seabird Restoration Database!
Could be a great PhD chapter for a PhD student.

Low genetic diversity thought to contribute to high disease susceptibility of critically endangered Orange Bellied Parrots in captive and wild populations. Population decreases drive inbreeding - they have low immunogenetic diversity says Luke Silver #ICCB2025
