Ah unfortunately its out of the range, iNaturalist got it down to the genus, Urocoma. Im based in Australia. But here's a top down and bottom up image of it if helpful :)

IMO the way you get a PhD is to just put your head down and work your ass off, while having the luck to avoid toxic PIs and get a grant here and there. Doesn’t mean you’re smart, more likely you’re too dumb to quit.

As always, happy to chat about anything wetland and myrtle rust! Also open to discussions on modelling, carbon, and breeding for conservation 💪✨️

I'll be chatting about how we can use genotyping to optimise which individuals we choose in translocation projects. This can help bolster ecosystem resilience through considering short term beneficial traits, genetic diversity and long term climate survival.
