Plenary speaker Dejan Stojanovich describes how the orange bellied parrots have been resistant to conservation, and are generally a challenging species to study. A lot of research and conservation trial and effort has been put in to diagnosing causes of decline. #AOC2025

With 4 island types and over 300 islands, Palau has a huge diversity of habitats, for at least 168 bird species, #AOC2025 plenary speaker Heather Ketebengang tells us.

Marcel Klaassen walks us through the evolution of H5N1 bird flu, including tracking and testing of waders, with data being tracked in AviFluMap hpairisk.deakin.edu.au. Ducks are the main spreader currently. #AOC2025

Busting all our assumptions about sexual dimorphism, bird colour and song, Kristal Cain gets #AOC2025 off to a rollicking start!

What a lovely way to start the day at #AOC2025! Our morning bird walk collected 41 species, and made for a lovely chance to connect and reconnect.

Amali Thrimawithana uses metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data to build a comprehensive understanding of the mānuka microbiome, finding tissue types drives community assembly. #JGS seminar day @aucklanduni.bsky.social @bioeconomyscience.bsky.social

Jacqui Vanderhoorn discusses the taxa representation of the pollen record for reconstructing past ecosystems. Tall trees tend to be most underrepresented in the record. #JGS seminar day @aucklanduni.bsky.social @bioeconomyscience.bsky.social

Matt Templeton shares how plant-microbe interactions can be leveraged for agricultural & horticultural benefits, including to enhance resistance of kiwifruit to PSA. #JGS seminar day @aucklanduni.bsky.social @bioeconomyscience.bsky.social

‘Not everything is hunky dory in kiwi town’ says @manpreetkdhami.bsky.social. Microbiome in relatively sterile captive environments may be reducing post-release survival. #JGS seminar day @aucklanduni.bsky.social @bioeconomyscience.bsky.social
