Takeoff for our new @riegllidar miniVUX-1 LiDAR on a @djiglobal RPA. We're using this platform to expand our research horizons into a wide variety of new areas.

We've had a productive few weeks working with @crkennedysurvey and @aviassist to understand the impressive capabilities of our new @riegllidar miniVUX-1 LiDAR on a @djiglobal RPA.

The yellow capok (Cochlospermum fraseri) is known as a calendar plant by Indigenous people in the Kimberley as flowering coincides with when freshwater crocodiles (Crocodylus johnsoni) are laying their eggs. We have just completed our early season survey of freshwater crocodile nesting at Lake Argyle. Working with the WA Parks & Wildlife Service and the 31165 Rangers, we are working towards better management outcomes for freshwater crocodiles and weeds in the Kimberley. 📷: © Bruce Webber (@webber.photography) ... ... #botanising #crocodiles #ecology #science #Indigenousknowledge #scicomm #fieldwork #research #ausgeo #theeceteam #CSIRO #waparkswildlife #HeliSpirit #biodiversity #nature #environment #LakeArgyle #Kimberley #thekimberleyaustralia #WesternAustralia #australia #thisisWA #discoveraustralia #exploreaustralia @waparkswildlife @helispirit @csirogram

We are using photography to find new ways to more efficiently explore the diversity of invertebrates in the vine thicket forests of the western Kimberley. Working with UWA and the Wunambal Gaambera and Dambimangari Aboriginal Coorporations, we visited 36 sites throughout a 21,000 square km region. When combined with cutting edge genomic techniques, we can quickly identify large numbers of species to help prioritise conservation efforts.

The jumping spider Myrmaplata plataleoides is a remarkable mimic of the weaver ant (Oecophylla smaragdina) in morphology and behaviour. 📷: © Ru Somaweera (www.ruchira-somaweera.net) ... ... #entomology #spider #jumpingspider #mimic #nature #ecology #theeceteam #biodiversity #natgeo #naturephotography #macro #macrophotography #rainforest #sarawak #borneo #malaysia #malaysian

Mexican poppy (Argemone ochroleuca) is native to parts of northern and central America and is an invasive weed in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. CSIRO are working with PMMC and the WA Parks & Wildlife Service to produce a more comprehensive database for weeds of the Pilbara, including thousands more records of Mexican poppy. 📷: © Bruce Webber (@webber.photography) ... ... #poppy #botanising #plants #landcare #flora #weeds #nature #ecology #conservation #environment #fieldwork #research #science #theeceteam #CSIRO #waparkswildlife #PMMC #MardieStation #Pilbara #WesternAustralia #thisisWA #australia #discoveraustralia #exploreaustralia @waparkswildlife @csirogram

Did you know that orangutans have 97% of their DNA in common with humans? The Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) is critically endangered and threats from hunting, the pet trade and habitat loss from fires, logging and palm oil plantations are on the increase. We all can play a part to ensure that these great apes will be a part of forest ecosystems for generations to come. 📷: © Ru Somaweera (www.ruchira-somaweera.net) ... ... #orangutan #pongo #fauna #animals #wildlife #threat #humanwildlifeconflict #nature #ecology #theeceteam #biodiversity #conservation #environment #globalchange #natgeo #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #rainforest #tropical #sarawak #borneo #malaysia @sarawaktravel

The hump-nosed lizard (Lyriocephalus scutatus) is endemic to Sri Lanka and seems to be able to adapt to the impacts of land use change and forest fragmentation. We're providing advice to a new Rufford Foundation project looking at the impacts of global change on Sri Lanka's agamid lizards to improve conservation outcomes. 📷: © Ru Somaweera (www.ruchira-somaweera.net) ... ... #lizard #reptiles #herpetofauna #fauna #animals #wildlife #humanwildlifeconflict #nature #ecology #theeceteam #biodiversity #conservation #environment #globalchange #fieldwork #research #science #natgeo #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #rainforest #tropical #srilanka @ruffordgrants

We're using our nights to get to know the local wildlife while attending the ATBC conference in Sarawak, Malaysia. A great early sighting was one of the most iconic frogs in Borneo, Megophrys nastua. These frogs are ambush hunters and rely on camouflage to blend in with the forest floor. 📷: © Ru Somaweera (www.ruchira-somaweera.net) ... ... #hornedfrogs #megophrys #herpetofauna #fauna #animals #wildlife #nature #ecology #theeceteam #biodiversity #conservation #environment #natgeo #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #macro #macrophotography #rainforest #tropical #bakonationalpark #sarawak #borneo #atbc2018 #atbc
