Had a brilliant field week - plenty of carnivore sightings including 3 quolls and +6 dingoes! Looking forward to getting into the lab with more samples 👩🏻‍🔬👩‍💻

Looking forward to some more field work in the next few weeks - scat collecting for diet studies! I’m all about the shit science at the moment 🤭

I’m new to #BlueSky - aiming to continue my scicom about dingoes, dogs and hybridisation.

A few months ago I published the results of a 6+ year study updating DNA methods for dingo ancestry testing. Surprisingly we found hybridization was uncommon in Australia!
