Is passive acoustic monitoring worth it for terrestrial mammals? 🎙️🐨

We find it's not the one for all solution, but for vocal species, yes! It's highly effective & saves lots of time and money, especially in the long-term.

Happy #MarsupialMonday! Have you met our little friend, the #SandhillDunnart?

Often called a “marsupial mouse” 🐀 the nocturnal dunnart is a carnivorous critter who likes to feed on invertebrates: think ants, spiders, termites, etc. In the rare periods when food is scarce, they can enter torpor.
