1/2 Research, led by @unswbees Dr Malgorzata Lagisz, has found that among 182 international societies for ecology and evolution researchers only 26% offered fee concessions for postdoctoral researchers. Read the full story, here: unsw.edu.au/news/2025/02/the…

The leaky pipeline and financial cost of science society memberships

Research finds insufficient concessions on membership fees across international societies in ecology and evolution.

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.

New research, co-authored by UNSW’s @ProfJoelPearson, sheds light on the neural mechanisms behind aphantasia - a condition where individuals cannot voluntarily generate visual mental imagery. Find out more: unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/20…

Mind blindness decoded: people who can’t see with their ‘mind’s eye’ still activate their visual...

People with aphantasia still have a blueprint for mental imagery, even if they can’t consciously ‘see’ it.
