Some bad photos of my favourite speakers (the ones I remembered a photo!) from #ESAus2024 last year in Melbourne. Juli Li - tropical natural reforestation, Carla Archibald - habitat footprint of agriculture, Hannah Thomas - regrowth for threatened species, Jeremy Simmonds - nature positive outcomes

It's always nice to finish the year in Australia, even more so when it involves sharing about #peatlands with like-minded folks at the #ESAus2024 ! I even managed a visit to the Royal Botanic Gardens, full of botanical treats including my old friend Melaleuca nesophila.

Hands up if you use #environmental variables in ecology models 🙋♀️ Last week at #ESAus2024, I spoke about how #spatial res of variables can impact species distribution models #SDM using a #coral eg 🪸

My sold-out #scicomm workshop @ #ESAus2024 was well received! Participants improved their scicomm ability by learning: 1) what audience to choose, 2) how to⬆️ reach, 3) how to create fancy tiles, 4) pitch an article for @theconversation.com, & 5) protection from cyber bullies. DM 4 workshop enquiries

Still on an ecological high after the week that was #ESAus2024! Thanks to everyone who dropped by my poster for a chat. I had a blast talking #ecology, #plants and #pollinators 🌻🐝🌸🪰🌱

Terrific conference swag from the massive #ESAus2024 conference in Melbourne last week featuring some of Victoria’s threatened and iconic species. Thanks to the local organising committee for their efforts creating such a great week for Australia’s ecological community.

Linda Riquelme highlighted that pollination can be key to plant translocation success.
She investigated pollination in three critically endangered shrub species, all of which depend on pollinators to set seed. Pollinators = 🐝 (S. aca), 🐦🐿️ (G. mic) and 🪲🪰🦋 (S. fur)

Allison Menzies @invertally.bsky.social spent 8 weeks sampling pollination networks in a Victorian grassland.
Though field conditions weren't great (lots of rain) she still found a decent network with lots of connectance, few honey bees and a lot more flies visiting than pollinating

Eamonn Culhane investigated pollination in 4 species of arid Pterostylis orchids (rustyhoods).
Despite sharing a widespread fungus gnat pollinator, these sexually deceptive orchids rarely set seed - perhaps because they rarely succeed at capturing their amorous gnat visitors

Okay some belated highlights from pollination talks at #ESAus2024 :
Amanda Hewes ran behavioural experiments to test trait-matching between Australian honeyeaters and Spotted Fuschia-bush. Results? A bit mixed - some matching between bill and corolla length for pollen deposition but not removal

My first ESA Conference 🤯🙌🏻
@ecolsocaus just had over 900 talks and almost 1400 attendees‼️
My fav parts:
🐝 Presenting my research on native bee/plant interaction in Arnhem Land
🐝 Floating wetlands tour
🐝 Urban ecology, and nature in cities forums
🐝 IK and indigenous ecology

Of course, it's not just the bush that's interesting. As we learned at #ESAUS2024, urban biodiversity is so important, and rail corridors can be vital places for that

Next leg on the trip home from #ESAUS2024. The Country Link train from Gadigal land (Sydney) to Gunnedah.
Six hours of fascinating vegetation, including Sydney sandstone, grassy woodlands, Triodia grassland, and, of course, vine thicket!!!
Strap in!

Excellent collection of stats on Bluesky posts during #ESAus2024. Something to consider, perhaps, @wmau.bsky.social @wikimediaaotearoa.bsky.social ?
Wondering what #ESAus2024 engagement like on Blue Sky? Armed with #Rcode and some handy packages, I've calculated summary statistics for you. There were 672 posts by 106 people using #ESAus2024 (or sister tag #ESAus24). Who posted the most? Who got the most likes? 1/🧵

Prior to #ESAus2024, I had a go at making polymer clay earrings for the first time. They’re potoroos in case you can’t tell🫣 But they’ve got nothing on some of the home made/sewn outfits others were rocking!

Just heading home from a week at @ecolsocaus.bsky.social conference #ESAus2024. Had a small burnout the week before and wasn’t feeling the best but I went ok because the ESA crowd are bloody amazing. Thanks to everyone who I hung out with and taught me great things.

I'm still around the #ESAUS2024 venue. Naarm really is turning on the weather!
Also seeing low flammability plants in all sorts of places.
This is Portulacca, perhaps P. afra
