I shot some footage a while back in the dense bush of southern #garriwerd, revisiting a site I'd been to 11 years ago with Dr kevin Rowe, Senior Curator of Mammals at #MuseumsVictoria. Good to see it it in its final form.

Could freezing live DNA be the key to stopping #extinction of Australia's native endangered species?
Dr Kevin Rowe has spent the last decade researching remaining populations of the Smoky Mouse in western #Victoria.
And recent developments in cell #biology, inspired by the #Thylacine de-extinction project, could be instrumental in ensuring the future of this endangered native.

10-30% increase over the last 150 years. North American mammal and bird body sizes are getting more variable, especially those species that are hunted. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-022-01967-w #ecology #ornithology #mammology #hunting

It's a trap!
Hoping to catch some smoky mice tonight in the Victoria Ranges in #gariwerd.
They get some food, a cosy bed for the night and a free ear piercing and we get some tissue culture and data.
