Do red foxes pose a threat to roosting migratory shorebirds? Have a read to find out! Thanks for featuring our group’s work, @wildlifesociety. 🦊🪶🧬📸
The original research article can be found here: wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley…
Several species of migratory shorebirds spend the warm months in a city estuary in Australia. Researchers examined how invasive red foxes might be disturbing these populations as they try to fatten up for their northward journeys.

Litoria littlejohni is #Endangered & @ConservationUon recently got the chance to apply some of our research knowledge to help improve its plight by creating artificial ponds to increase habitat and restore connectivity. Within 3 months, the ponds had LLJ in them @Uni_Newcastle
