Very excited to be helping with this project. This is what @ThreatenedSpGen was set up to achieve - genetic resources for some of our most threatened species that have never had resources before!! @CratesRoss @CatMYoung @teamswiftparrot @BioplatformsAus @Sydney_Science
King Island scrubtits are among Australia’s most endangered birds - @CratesRoss & @CatMYoung are doing a genetic study to identify new approaches to protecting them! 🤍🤎💛 1/2
