Gutting to see Predator Free 2025 disestablished in the latest budget and rolled into DOC, which in turn is facing its own budget challenges. Lost funding and, more importantly, capacity and capability through this disestablishment makes the goal harder to achieve. newsroom.co.nz/2025/05/26/i...

‘It was a bombshell’: Govt culls pest eradication company

Is the financially stretched Department of Conservation best to lead the country’s cooperative mission to eradicate pests by 2050?

Delighted to see this high-quality marsupial reprogramming work from @lab-turner.bsky.social and kiwi @bryonyleeke.bsky.social (rdcu.be/emAjn). We also saw muted PGC reprogramming in brushtail possum rdcu.be/emAk5. Same is true for Zebrafish. Maybe eutherians and complete erasure is the outlier?

Divergent DNA methylation dynamics in marsupial and eutherian embryos

Nature - A study reports on the DNA methylation dynamics during embryogenesis in marsupials, showing that these differ from those occurring during embryogenesis in eutherian mammals.

We're excited to publish our latest study led by Bryony Leeke @bryonyleeke.bsky.social and Wazeer Varsally, now out in @nature.com 🍾This study focusses on the epigenome of marsupial embryos 🦘 mapping DNA methylation in embryo development to specific embryo events www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵

Australia’s common brushtail possum has long been neglected in terms of its taxonomy. My amazing PhD student Shelby Middleton along with a stellar supervisor team has attempted to resolve this species. Check it here: academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/a...

Revised phylogeography of the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) reveals new insights into genetic structure across Australia

Abstract. Understanding genetic relationships within species is essential for identifying distinct genetic lineages and informing conservation strategies,

Really proud of @sebasalco.bsky.social's mahi on this one, and grateful to the iwi and hapū who entrusted us with their ngā ika moana taonga. @royalsocietynz.bsky.social, University of Otago, Genomics Aotearoa and ORG.one provided funding, and thanks to all incl coauthors who provided tautoko!
