PUBLICATION UPDATE 7: LOOKING BEYOND THE HEADLINES: HOW DID SNAILS FARE IN THE 2019-2020 BUSHFIRES?

15 June 2022

A new study I co-authored with my colleagues sheds light on the impacts of the 2019-2020 wildfires on land snails in north-eastern NSW, home of the Gondwanan Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area.

The full blog post for this study can be read at the Australian Museum website: https://australian.museum/blog/amri-news/looking-beyond-the-headlines/

The PDF of the paper can be downloaded here.
