In todayโ€™s herping highlight I bring you an iddy biddy banded eastern brown snake. This individual is likely to be 8-10 months old and will eventually loose its pattern as it matures #wildoz

This study goes way back to our grad school days working on Red-backed Fairywrens in Australia. Males come in two flavors: ornamented red/black and female-like brown. Females love the ornamented males but we never really knew why... UNTIL NOW! 2/8

A fun project finally published! We have genomic work coming out for some #snakes, but our survey work served as great data on its own for a fun paper on microhabitat and species distributions! royalsocietypublishing.org/dโ€ฆ

Applications for the 2025 AWC ecology internship program are now open! Applying for an AWC internship was one of the best decisions I ever made: I loved mine so much I never left! If you're thinking of applying, I'm happy to answer questions about my experience with the program.
Are you a recent conservation graduate dreaming of working to protect Australiaโ€™s wildlife and their habitats? Apply for our 2025 Ecology Internships Program ๐Ÿ‘‰ australianwildlife.org/work-โ€ฆ ๐Ÿ“ท J Palmer, B Leue, T Sayers, K Lowe/AWC #AWC #AustralianWildlife #Ecology #Internship

Huge congratulations to Milad Esmaeilbeigi on his first PhD paper, out now! Milad found evidence for a metal disease refuge from the deadly #amphibian #chytrid fungus, possibly explaining persistence of some populations of threatened #frogs ๐Ÿธ @UC_CCEG authors.elsevier.com/c/1jalDโ€ฆ
