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!

. @seedysarah became speedy sarah to wrap up Wednesday with her short talk on how fatty acids contribute to seed persistence in fire-prone ecosystems🔥

Today we performed "flame extraction" on the #Banksia canei (mountain banksia) cones to add to the living collection @AustralianBG. #Plantbank #seeds

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.

If you can't share science in cake form, what is the point?! Had so much fun creating some fire cupcakes for team #OoiEcologyLab for the #TSBakeOff. #fireecology #threatenedspeciesawareness

This is the life-cycle of #Grevillea caleyi in cake form, one of many endangered #plant species that depends on fire. It is threatened by urbanisation and changes to the #fire regime as a result of the apex ecosystem engineer - humans. #TSBakeOff @TSCommissioner 1/4

#Fire outside peak season can reduce flowering and change #seed chemistry. Great work by @RubyParoissien from #OoiEcologyLab @CES_UNSW @unswbees Fun fact: Ruby drew botanical illustrations and graphical abstract by hand!
