Videos for general scientific communication
I’ve created some videos to showcase some of the fieldwork and data collection in my research.
There are some beautiful bushland remnants on Australia’s east coast. In this video, we’re setting up camera traps with a peanut oil lure to estimate tick host activity in remnants and adjacent yards.@sydneyrats @dieterhochuli pic.twitter.com/bBpv4UVOg6

Brush-turkey nest mounds are full of decomposing leaf litter & soil (like 3 tonnes of it..), so we’re asking if mounds are a hotspot for invertebrates (incl. ticks) @EcoMatt94

We’re surveying mounds reported using the Brush Turkeys app, so keep reporting! pic.twitter.com/hYJqZPx6eJ
The secret life of urban animals! Lots of activity under the cover of darkness in urban bushland. All of these animals carry ticks, but some are likely to be more important/better hosts than others! My job is to find out. @HenryLydecker @dieterhochuli @sydneyrats #WildOz pic.twitter.com/UokaKBE3GD
