Canavan opposed same sex marriage, opposed abortions and opposed banning under 16s from social media.
He is a climate change denier and supporter of fossil fuels.
He also claimed that Covid 19 vaccines caused stilbirths.
He's a real gem.
Quick rundown for anyone who isn’t familiar with Canavan:
• Rabidly pro-coal/anti-renewables climate denialist
• Anti trans rights
• Anti same sex marriage
• Cooker
• Claimed BLM movement “deserves ridicule” (so imagine his opinions on race in Australia)
• Anti-Wiggles
See you in oblivion, Nats…
Imagine a mining company turning up to a farm gate with a permit to do exploratory drilling. We know whose side Matt Canavan is on. Vote accordingly, regional voters

The Titicaca water frog (Telmatobius culeus) - the largest truly aquatic frogs in the world.
They're found at 3,920m above sea level, in Lake Titicaca.
These frogs are famous for their loose, baggy skin folds, which allow them to absorb oxygen directly from the water.

** on this, Rob ..... end of a long day of teaching!
so much hard work and persistent advocacy on the Rob - congratulations!
"The Australian Pesticides & Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has today certified that it is in the public interest for chemical products containing any second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARS) to be declared restricted chemical products(RCPs)"
Congrats to all who worked for this🎉

"Under the superannuation tax changes, the concessional tax rate on earnings for balances between $3m and $10m will double from 15% to 30%.
Balances above $10m will be subject to a new, higher 40% rate."
BRAVO!👏

New paper where we assess how reliable estimates of aboveground biomass from tree rings are compared to permanent monitoring plots in forests where management interventions affect dynamics and growth #ForestEcology #ForestManagement #Management doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...
⚛️ Root exudate metabolic traits (CWMs) based on molecular properties represent a new functional dimension orthogonal to classical traits. These CWMs reveal how plants chemically adapt to competition🌱

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.
So I give you

We won a grant! 🎉🥳🍾💃🎉 we are recruiting a team of 3 postdocs: acoustics, biology and math.
Such an exciting project dealing with plant and pollinator noise.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

CLIMEX Match Climate Composite Match Index (CMI) overlaid with Tipuana tipu distribution location records, projected globally. Insets show the native range, part of South America, part of southern Africa, southwest Australia, and an area of eastern Australia with high levels of cultivation and/or naturalisation. Areas with an orange-red colour (CMI 0.8–1) had high CMI values. Areas with a blue colour (CMI 0.6–0.8) had a climate with moderate CMI values. Records of T. tipu are shown as open circles. Pink circles represent records of plants within the native range. All other colours represent plant records in the non-native range, with purple representing cultivated plant records, yellow representing non-cultivated plant records, green representing records with both cultivated and non-cultivated plants and brown representing plant records where the cultivation status was indeterminate.
The interplay between climatic niche and spatial distribution can inform the management of non-native invasive species. Our findings reveal that the invasion risk for species with small geographic ranges may be greater than assumed.

🌿 Postdoc opportunity in plant evolutionary ecology/genetics!
My lab in the Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to start Fall 2026.
We study plant adaptation, using weeds as model systems.
