Assoc Prof Gilad Bino’s research project is assessing #platypus population health to improve #waterfortheenvironment delivery for these unique mammals. The data could also support #threatenedspecies recognition for platypus in NSW @UNSWScience @unswbees abc.net.au/news/2026-04-27/p…

Platypus researcher says the species is just 'hanging on' in NSW

A leading researcher is calling for the platypus to be recognised as a threatened species in NSW, saying a lack of data is the only reason it has not been reclassified.

Five years of hard work, finally published with @SpringerNature in @ScientificData: The Antarctic Ecosystem Inventory, a dataset of Antarctic Ecosystems in ice-free lands. A massive thank you to the international team that made this possible. @CES_UNSW nature.com/articles/s41597-0…

A recently published in @Nature Food, led by Prof. @DJ_Eldridge, reveals a strong positive relationship between dung presence and grazing pressure. Dung records have been used to create high-res maps of herbivore distribution around the world. unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/20…

Dung data: manure can help to improve global maps of herbivore distribution

Detailed livestock models are important for land-use planning, disaster relief and food insecurity.

A sad story that needs to be told, as it provides insights and lessons for other ecosystems facing similar risks. @jrfep et al. from @unswbees @CES_UNSW document the imminent collapse of a tropical glacier in #Venezuela. @redlisteco @IUCN_CEM @andradep2010

A study led by UNSW Dr @kate_cornelsen has gathered vital insights from greater bilbies at Taronga Western Plains Zoo into how bilbies would cope if reintroduced to temperate areas. Read more about the surprising bilby behaviour uncovered in this research: unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/20…

Bilbies could hop back into mild climate zones: study

Bilbies bred in a sanctuary in Dubbo have provided researchers with vital clues about how they would fare in temperate Australia where they once thrived.

I think we've all been thinking this - a nice summary of the lost art of incorporating thinking time into scholarly work... nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Science must protect thinking time in a world of instant communication

Nature - E-mails and instant messaging are core to research — but also a distraction. Researchers should study their impact on science, and how they can claw back time to concentrate.

A new @CES_UNSW study has used AI to count a gathering, or rather a flamboyance, of 532,197 flamingos in Botswana 🦩 The research highlights how AI can improve the method of animal counts and the importance of the Makgadikgadi Pans as a flamingo habitat. unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/20…
