PhD candidate researching how Australian plant seeds survive bushfires 🌱🔥 Centre for Ecosystem Science | UNSW Sydney
The first chapter of my PhD is out! 🌱🔥
We looked at whether fatty acids (a common seed oil) changed composition across fire-prone and fire-free habitats + dormancy-breaking temperatures in physically dormant seeds! (1/2)

New paper out! After the 2019-2020 #fires in Australia our team undertook #IUCN Red List assessments of fire affected #plant species, to handle the volume we undertook paired rapid and full assessments and compared their accuracy 1/4

Finally a good reason to make my first bluesky post.
Our new paper describes the pyro-thermal niche - a way to qualify how seeds respond to fire type temperatures.
The metrics that comprise the pyro-thermal niche are influenced by phylogeny!

Defining the pyro‐thermal niche: do seed traits, ecosystem type and phylogeny influence thermal thresholds in seeds with physical dormancy?
Seeds are a key pathway for plant population recovery following disturbance. To prevent germination during unsuitable conditions, most species produce dormant seeds. In fire-prone regions, physical .....

#ESAus24 done and dusted! Thrilled to have co-organised a molecular ecology symposium with @nathalimicro.bsky.social and @ryantangney.bsky.social, and thanks @ecolsocaus.bsky.social for once again hosting an amazing conference! 🌱🔥
