21.01.2022 Great to see so much coverage of threatened butterflies over the last week. Invertebrates tend to get far less attention than other species groups. Lets hope it prompts new action for these at risk species! Butterflies Australia Entomology Australian Citizen Science Association Wildlife Queensland Field Naturalists Club of Victoria

20.01.2022 Fallen trees on the floor of forests store large amounts of water, create habitat for a wide range of animals and are vital for nutrient cycling and carbon storage. Professor David Lindenmayer of The Australian National University talks about the importance of logs on the forest floor to the ecology of forests. This Threatened Species Recovery Hub project is a collaboration between The Australian National University, Parks Victoria, DELWP Gippsland and @Wildmob, and is supported by the Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment

19.01.2022 We recently identified the 26 Australian Butterflies at greatest risk of extinction. Find out about the two species on Kangaroo Island and their fascinating, even bizarre, relationships with special servant ants that look after them in underground nests in this article by The Islander.

11.01.2022 When you have a lot of different sea bird species that look similar, but spent most of their time at sea, only come in to land at night during the breeding season and immediately drop down long burrows, how do you tell them apart? The DNA in the poos and feathers they leave behind is how we tackled it. Find out more about what has been happening on Macquarie Island and how the island's seabirds are recovering since invasive animals were eradicated in this interesting read. The research is a collaboration between the Australian Antarctic Science Program, The University of Queensland, University of Tasmania, Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment Threatened Species Commissioner
