Simply incredible new work from @fiona_backhouse and @lyrebirdlab. Albert's Lyrebirds rhythmically shake the vegetation on their courtship platform, synchronizing the movement with their vocalizations to enhance the performance! 🤯 doi.org/10.1086/730523

Excited to share our paper on bat mating systems! 🦇
We categorise mating systems based on male reproductive skew, and propose a new mating system: lek-like mating systems

Our new research aims to better understand two threatened species: the Christmas Island goshawk and the Christmas Island hawk-owl.🦅🦉
We're learning more about their population sizes, habitat preferences, diet and genetic diversity. #ChristmasIsland

Our new paper is out in @Amornith! We now know that "Preferred nesting habitat of the slow-breeding Superb #Lyrebird is rare and was disproportionately impacted by Australia’s “Black Summer” #megafires (2019–2020).." academic.oup.com/condor/advance…. Congratulations @lyrebirdlab

An exciting opportunity for a field-based PhD project, the student will need to be comfortable with prolonged and very remote field work in western Queensland, bring a strong collaborative approach, and be passionate about research that informs management of threatened species
