We won again! Thanks New York Festivals for the nod and congrats to Ann Jones and team. You watch this exploration of the physics of sound in nature on ABC iview.

Eight new Pacific masked bees just dropped 🐝! What’s really cool about these bees is that (i) they’re mostly restricted to forest canopies, (iii) prefer for red flowers, and (ii) resolve how Hylaeus tuamotuensis got to French Polynesia!

Matt's brother is very rude.

I was feeling sassy on the clock app this morning. Happy Sunday 🦎🏡 #wildoz #ecologist #womeninSTEM

Incredible to watch tens of thousands of Grey-headed Flying-fox megabats (Pteropus poliocephalus 🦇) leave their roost at sunset to forage for nectar overnight - so many that they're accidentally mapped as rain on the Bureau of Meteorology, Australia weather radar! 🤯 #wildoz

You've heard of Elf on the Shelf, now get ready for...

Turreted Wrap-around Spider - Dolophones turrigera
Woy Woy Bay NSW Australia

A pair of brown falcons nest over in the neighbour's pine tree and one just flew over the house with a decent sized snake in its talons.

Did you know that only one species of Christmas Beetle is found in Tassie? It's called the A. suturalis. So we need as many people as possible to tell us when they spot one. Find out more at invertebratesaustralia.org/christmasbeetl… #Tasmania #christmasbeetlecount #invertebratesaustralia

A few weeks back Ann Jones asked me a seemingly straightforward question which immediately sent me into a spiral.

Come wade into the muddy waters with us as we attempt to answer the question “what is a species?”

Have you been having trouble finding eel testicles? Worried you're doing it wrong? Don't fret...it's not just you!

Folks from Aristotle on tried & failed to sex eels. Young Sigmund Freud spent a summer in Italy dissecting 400 eels looking for their testes, without success. 1/6

It’s that special time of year when bitterns in rice start laying their first eggs. An early start means they have plenty of time to breed successfully before autumn harvest. With all this hot weather, the rice rapidly reaches the 55 cm mark that triggers nesting.
