If you live in southern Adelaide, please keep an eye our for a pair of escaped Alexandrine parakeets! By catching them early, we can prevent them from establishing as a new invasive species. greenadelaide.sa.gov.au/news/2021-exot…

📰Our new study found a pattern between US reptile trade and smuggling of live reptiles to Australia. Almost all species smuggled to Aus are legal in US trade and are popular. #iwt #wildlifetrade #reptiles conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… cosmosmagazine.com/people/society…

Does the 🇺🇸 (& other overseas) pet trades provide an early indicator of non-native species arriving in Australia? Avg. 5.6 year time lag between arrival in 🇺🇸 trade & 🇦🇺 seizures, see our OA paper: bit.ly/3gcAJ3A Led by @OliverStringham

HKU Ecologists conducted analysis on feathers from local wild yellow-crested cockatoo population and those from pet cockatoos owned by private individuals, to see if their diet would give a clue whether they are captive or not. phys.org/news/2021-07-f… #hku #hkuscience #wildlife
