Science Twitter please help! Does anyone know what this disease affecting my Sydney golden wattle is? And if so is there anything I can do? #planttwitter #science
Great interview by Will, @AusFoxProject. They’d love more fox DNA samples from central and nth Oz if you can help out. Also interesting info on the use of dogs by @SQLandscapes to detect dens and control foxes around turtle nesting sites and shorebird breading areas.

Anyone out in the Tanami doing fox control work who can help Will out? If so head to ausfoxproject.com to request a DNA collection kit.

Extra keen for any samples from the northern-most part of the foxes’ range
FOX EARS WANTED! Can anyone help us fill the gaps in out Australia-wide sample collection of red fox ear tissues? The samples will be used to carry out population genetic research to aid pest management. If you can help head to ausfoxproject.com to request a collection kit.
Supporting @AusFoxProject by collecting a small ear sample of a road killed fox. Important work. The research is looking at fox genetics across Australia - which may unlock future gene info that could be used to rid Australia of foxes. That'd be terrific. More on their website.
Understanding fox genetics and how skulks are related will provide the answers to reducing pest numbers. 🦊🐾That’s according to @MQBiology PhD student Will Ashley who is currently leading research in the area of fox genetics through @AusFoxProject hubs.li/Q0136t0N0
A huge thank you to @rzsnsw for their support of our project through the Ethel Mary Read Research Grant! This funding will go towards DNA sequencing costs and will greatly contribute to the success of the project! For more info on the project see ausfoxproject.com
Many think that foxes are the "natural solution" to feral cats. That all those feral cats are sorted by foxes. NO ! Over & again #basalttobaylandcare cams see both in same place. 3 months same cat + foxes sharing role of destroying the native biodiversity in this reserve 24/7.
COVID lockdowns bring a whole new meaning to backyard science. Our "Fox Boxes" are almost ready to head out to our volunteers! @will_ashley_ #science #scienceTwitter
#dailyoptimisim Younger farmer calls applying for the Moyne Carbon Grants & talking about how hes a keen fox hunter & that he's heard today @stockandland we are going in on the @AusFoxProject & he's wants to help. That he will hold bounty scalps so we can get samples. Fabulous.
Do you do fieldwork in Australia? If you see a dead fox (on the side of the road, anywhere!) would you collect a snip of its ear for a good cause? @will_ashley_ is studying the landscape genetics of Australian foxes and needs samples from all states. Info:

We are currently collecting samples (fox ear tissue samples) from fox carcasses across Australia with the aid of the public. If you, or anyone you know would be able to help we'd love to hear from you. Please see ausfoxproject.com for more information on the project.
