Loved hearing from @Biologist_Britt on what threatened frogs 🐸 have been up in our own backyards. Such a cool look at what we can learn from the wonderful @FrogIDAus citizen science dataset!

Known habitat for Boronia barkeriana subsp. barkeriana was entirely affected after 🔥 in the Blue Mt’s. To secure this Sp, the @AustralianBG collected seed from the hanging swamp at Govett’s Leap in Mar 2022. This was funded by @WWF_Australia & Airwick for the #RareBloomProject

Excited to share the findings from my honours research in my first ever paper! Out now in @WileyEcolEvol. Our study shows that fire season can have a significant impact on flower production in resprouting shrubs. @ooist7 @unswbees onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

While many plants are well adapted to fire, under climate change the combination of changing fire regimes and more extreme drought, heatwaves and pest insect outbreaks may push them to their limit. ⁦ theconversation.com/climate-…
Climate change is testing the resilience of native plants to fire, from ash forests to gymea lilies

Climate change is testing the resilience of native plants to fire, from ash forests to gymea lilies

Many plants are really good at withstanding bushfires, but the combination of drought, heatwaves and pest insects under climate change may push them to the brink.
