A day in the life for sounds across Victoria with two of my favourite sounds, Gang-gang cockatoos and Kookaburras. Hear the Plains Wanderers in between the cows

Don't miss out, tomorrow join us as museum experts Dianne Bray, Erich Fitzgerald and Karen Rowe will introduce citizen science projects! fal.cn/VraF Lectures MV

If you want know where Plains-wanderers are in Victoria, ask acoustic monitoring partners Karen Rowe Museums Victoria and David Baker-Gabb.

This is just an amazing story #Fossil #megasharkfossilfind #palaeontology #citizenscience #museums

You know you’ve found a big #fossil #shark when Masterchef gets interested! Melbourne Museum #palaeontology #unique #giant #cantevenfitonthewall @ Melbourne Museum instagram.com/p/BmPP6julMbV/…

Earlier this year, Museums Victoria palaeontologists collected an extraordinary #fossil on Victoria’s Surf Coast Shire. Today we are sharing this #discovery with the world Melbourne Museum Tim Ziegler Ben Francischelli Dr David Hocking

Museums Victoria palaeontologists were understandably thrilled when avid #fossil hunter Philip Mullaly called with news of something very special he'd found. #megasharkfossilfind

A lovely surprise in the mail - our new paper on #threatened #rodent identification in hard copy! Huge congratulations to PABurns_ for her excellent PhD paper on #NewHollandMouse & #SmokyMouse ! Kevin C Rowe Ben Phillips Zoos Victoria Museums Victoria @unimelb #FightingExtinction

So pleased that our phylogeny of Australia’s primary rodent radiation, with my phd student Pete Smissen, is at last published in Mol Phyl Evol. Speciation occurred both within and among biomes with arid biome a major source of diversification. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Margaretamys sp from 2100 m on Mt Dako, Sulawesi discovered by Museums Victoria @lipiindonesia UC Berkeley @amnh @NSF_BIO. 1st record of genus from west northern peninsula. Compare to M. parvus from Gandang Dewata and M. sp. from Bawakaraeng. Descriptions to come. #mammalwatching

Great new Museums Victoria #museum #research led by super awesome phylogenomics collaborator @tomgiarla deciphering geographic history of spiny rats (Maxomys) of Sulawesi with hundreds of loci. Not all little orange 🐀 are the same, even M. musschenbroekii. More to come. twitter.com/tomgiarla/stat…

Heading to camp at 1000 m on Mount Dako, Tolitoli, Sulawesi for biodiversity surveys to peak at 2260 m with Museums Victoria @lipiindonesia UC Berkeley American Museum of Natural History #MammalWatching to follow.

Great to see our work Museums Victoria automating the detection of Plains-wanderer calls from the song meter recordings is helping collaborative efforts to conserve this critically endangered species #ecoacoustics #Museums @DELWP_Vic #collections #partnership twitter.com/tscommissioner…

Show us the mammals. twitter.com/mammalsheru/st…

Best year for smoky mouse recruitment at my Grampians sites since before the 2013 fire! This tiny friend was one among many new faces keen to get involved in my research this month

Have you used the collections Museums Victoria in person or online? Please let the Victorian government know how useful they are via their short survey. twitter.com/culturevictori…

This international women’s day #IWD2018 #WomensDay , Dr Emily Roycroft, mother & Australian PhD student Museums Victoria with an honours degree from New Zealand, is looking for selection in 20,000 proteins from rats of Indonesia & the Philippines. Real international woman of science

So excited! Whole exome analysis of convergence in shrew rats of Sulawesi and the Philippines. What proteins are under selection in the weirdest of rats? Thank you nature for the replication. Way to go Dr Emily Roycroft twitter.com/emily_roycroft…
