The use of eDNA to survey invasion risk to Antarctic waters. Frances Perry from @arcsaef.bsky.social @university adelaide explains how ocean environments & ships hull can be sampled simply & easily using eDNA approaches #ICCB2025

It's essential to build genetic diversity into the design of protected area. @lausally.bsky.social shares learnings about biodiversity hotspots in Antartcic marine waters informed by genetic data. Supported by @arcsaef.bsky.social #ICCB2025

What information is most useful to make better decisions based on a model? @katehelmstedt.bsky.social explains how Value of Information can inform which marine invasive species should be monitored in Antarctica AND which uncertainties in our ecosystem models should we be resolving? #ICCB2025

Amy Coetzee from Zoos Victoria shows the benefits of cat control on small marsupials; Eastern Barred Bandicoots & Long nosed Potoroos on islands. Cat control has commenced on French Island already benefiting threatened species. Here's hoping cat eradication is achieved! #ICCB2025

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

@hugepossum.bsky.social reminds us it's critical to determine what the management actions are to save threatened species, and then we need to prioritize those actions, & consider the costs of the actions #ICCB2025

Border walls between Mexico & USA impact large carnivores (e.g. bears ocelot, mountain lions) and threatened mammals. Challenges of conservation at the borderlands - a fascinating talk by Kinley Regan @phoenixzoo.bsky.social #ICCB2025

So great to be here! I've already had the wonderful surprise of running into international colleagues. so great to NOT be on zoom #ICCB2025

Great to see Australian Geographic advocating for threatened species at Melbourne Airport as I journey home from #ESAus2024. Think airport were a bit suss of how long I stood there watching their advertising screens

1381 humans registered for #ESAus2024 this year an amazing effort. And am impressive turn out of people right up to last session

Uffe Nielsen reminds how important it is to look below ground as well as above ground when looking at ecosystem recovery and what they are finding in the Cumberland plains woodlands #ESAus2024

David Keith's awesome talk explains green status & red list of ecosystems and how to apply IUCN criteria #ESAus2024
