With freshwater fish facing global extinction risks, this #AustralEcology study finds semi-artificial farm dams can serve as refuge habitats for threatened species like the southern pygmy perch. @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/3Uwz5Ox

El uso de pelo de mamíferos por aves es bien conocido, pero la cleptotriquia,arrancar pelo de animals vivos, se reporta raramente! Lee más sobre este comportamiento captado por una cámara trampa en Chile. bit.ly/4e3DL5r #AustralEcology @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol

#NaturalHistoryNote: Birds using mammal hair for nests is well-known, but kleptotrichy—hair plucking from live animals—is rarely reported! Read more about this behaviour captured in a camera trap in Chile. bit.ly/4e3DL5r #AustralEcology @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol

In coastal plains of the Atlantic Forest, tadpole communities in ponds with lower environmental complexity show more closely related species than expected by chance, creating a clustering structure. #AustralEcology @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/40hzSX9

In the Amazon, dung beetle perching dynamics vary by species and body size. Larger individuals perch higher, but leaf area also influences perch height. #AustralEcology @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/3TRemVk 📸:Guillaume Delaitre

Los pastizales saxícolas en Patagonia actúan como refugios para plantas adaptadas al frío, con alta diversidad en una pequeña área. Es vital proteger estos ecosistemas del fuego, invasiones biológicas y pastoreo @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol #AustralEcology bit.ly/3Zz9o2W

New in #AustralEcology: Saxicolous meadows in Patagonia act as refugia for cold-adapted plants, with high species diversity despite their small area. It is vital to protect these unique ecosystems from fire, invasions and grazing @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/3Zz9o2W

Artículo revela amenazas de atropellos en el Chaco paraguayo.En 15 meses se registraron 2338 cadáveres de 87 especies. Es urgente implementar estrategias de mitigación específicas para mamíferos, aves y reptiles @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol #AustralEcology bit.ly/3TPGR5L

New #AustralEcology study reveals roadkill threats in Paraguay's Chaco. Over 15 months, 2338 carcasses from 87 species were found on a 250km road. Urgent need for targeted mitigation strategies for mammals, birds, and reptiles. @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/3TPGR5L

The resilience of restored and remnant habitats is being reduced by Australia’s ever changing climate, challenging scientists to think of practical (and effective) solutions for building resilience. @Ecotrails @WileyEcolEvol @EcolSocAus Explore further: bit.ly/3MR1Cuo

Nova nota de #HistóriaNatural em #AustralEcology revela Didelphis albiventris (gambá) consumindo néctar de uma árvore polinizada por morcegos na Caatinga brasileira. Será que os gambás são polinizadores noturnos importantes? @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/4d2pANq

New #NaturalHistory note in #AustralEcology finds Didelphis albiventris (opossum) consuming nectar from Hymenaea cangaceira, a bat-pollinated tree in Brazil's Caatinga. Could opossums be key nocturnal pollinators? @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol Read more: bit.ly/4d2pANq

Prescribed burning is frequently used in savanna vegetation in Australia and worldwide. An experiment was established to test for non-target impacts of prescribed burning on herbaceous vegetation. bit.ly/4dO2Em9 @WileyEcolEvol @EcolSocAus

Brushtail possums are becoming recognised as key clean-up-crew members for local carcasses in Australia. We explore how widespread possum scavenging on carrion varies based on bioregion, habitat, and season. @Patt_Finnerty @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/3YbYb7t
