Hey everyone! My name is Jess and this is the November #sbstwittertakeover and #PhDdayinthelife. I'm a final year PhD candidate working in the Centre for Evolutionary Biology - I study sperm and fertilisation in marine invertebrates!🦪Keep an eye out for my tweets today!

New #paper highlighting the need for more work and conservation efforts on Australia's freshwater #turtles. Great job leading this @deborah_bower

🎧Podcast coming soon🎧
🐢We chat with @NickiJMitch about assisted colonisation and identifying a ‘just right’ site for the Western Swamp Turtle🧳 @bethnor514

We all love releasing turtles, but how about dealing with a billion data points as well? Siobhan Paget nailed it, and great to see her paper out today that changed where we are trialling assisted colonisation @BiolSci_UWA @Science_DBCA @Biodivcouncil @climatecouncil
As one of the first animal species to be relocated due to climate change, WA's tiny Western Swamp Turtle has the eyes of the world upon it. 🐢 🐢 🐢 bit.ly/3OihaZw #UWA #climatechange @UWAresearch @NickiJMitch

Hot off the press! Perverse outcomes from fencing fauna. We find that a population of havened woylies show weakened anti-predator responses after 10 years isolated from predators. Read more below🧵

We've been working on this paper out today (and open access) for over 7 years, so bear with me while I tell you the story of how we discovered that wolves kill and eat sea otters (Panels A-D) and what this means for wolves, otters, and deer. /1

Our conservationists were recently out in-the-field with partners in a secret location in Western Australia to translocate 44 critically endangered western swamp tortoise, in the hopes of helping this reptile survive the impacts of climate change.

Did you know there are as few as 80 adult western swamp tortoise remaining in the wild?
44 captive-bred swamp turtles were translocated and released into a secret location.
We hope this helps the Critically Endangered species survive the impacts of climate change.
As my supervisor @minimbus said: it's not every day the New York Times visits your field site. Definitely a highlight of my PhD so far!
Have a read about some of the conservation efforts underway for the western swamp turtle 🐢:
The western swamp tortoise’s natural habitat in Australia is becoming increasingly unsuitable as temperatures rise. An experiment to preserve the endangered reptile is the latest debate over how far humans should go to protect nature as the world warms. nyti.ms/3FLiTlr

Excited to share a new paper in Australian Mammalogy @AusMammals! We developed a quick and easy metric for quantifying agitation and boldness in #woylies during cage-trapping @chloehfrick publish.csiro.au/am/AM22007

A nice write-up on our work on the assisted colonisation of the western swamp turtle 🐢!

And now you have one function, `easystats::model_dashboard()` that shows you everything about your model (1/2)
We are beyond excited that the {easystats} meta-package is on CRAN! 🥳

Now, to access functionality provided by all 10 📦s in this ecosystem, you need to do just this 🙌
```
install.packages("easystats")
library("easystats")
```

ALT easystats is a collection of R packages, which aims to provide a unifying and consistent framework to tame, discipline, and harness the scary R statistics and their pesky models. The image shows all hexstickers for R packages that belong in this ecosystem.
