A pattern‐oriented simulation for forecasting species spread through time and space: a case study on an ecosystem engineer on the move
Modelling the spread of introduced ecosystem engineers is a conservation priority due to their potential to cause irreversible ecosystem-level changes. While existing models predict potential distrib...

Basal axillary buds in pea are hydraulically connected to the stem but are protected during drought by osmotic adjustment
Plants prioritise water allocation to tissues that support their survival and reproduction during drought, but little is known about their tissue-specific drought tolerance mechanisms. In the case o.....

We need to protect livestock & support graziers. We can do so without killing dingoes. Adequate & well-maintained fencing & the appropriate use of guardian animals (dogs/donkeys) is essential. A public reminder. Killing dingoes on public or private land, in NW Victoria, without a permit, is illegal.

Board game enthusiasts and ecologists would enjoy Ark Nova greatly. Long game with many moving components but excellent on second plays. Oh and the cards are excellent.

I rate it 7.5/10.

There are native insects on every continent on earth – but just barely. Antarctica has only one, the flightless Antarctic midge. And survival there is all about the insect timing its lifecycle and being ready to take advantage of warm periods.

Job advert: Research Associate in Environmental Time-Series Modelling
We have just today advertised a new postdoctoral position funded by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures (CIEHF) that will be based in the Global Ecology Lab at Flinders University. This is a fixed-term position for up to 3 years, and we are especially targeting Indigenous candidates. The successful candidate will use existing code and develop new approaches to analyse complex data derived from lake, lagoon, river, and wetland cores measuring various aspects of dated vegetation composition, fire regime, and climate fluctuation.
