Hi, I'm Dr Owen Holland, a researcher with a broad range of genetics focused ecological interests. I use my genetic expertise to further our understanding of many organisms, including abalone, grasshoppers, sharks, seaweed, crabs, eels and more. If you would like to know more, feel free to DM me!

Wow, they didn't even try to hide it. What a complete lack of ethics, both by the authors as well as the journal. Don't they have plagiarism detection software? Makes me wonder (more than usual) why they charge so much for access...

CSIRO slaps down major #nuclear talking points promoted by Coalition leader Peter Dutton in its latest GenCost report, which confirms – yet again – that integrated wind and solar are easily the cheapest option

What a strange way to say that a majority of residents are either indifferent or in favour of it 🤔

Frustrating - I reviewed a paper that was highly problematic, mainly in scientific rigour undermining most of the conclusions, so I recommend Reject. However the editor decides to Revise presumably due to the more positive comments from reviewer 2... /1

We are now keenly seeking LBAM (lightbrown apple moth) from around Melbourne. If you have an apple tree, or a grapevine, please take a look and see if you can see moth damage and webbing. We are after live larvae.
Some good reference images here - www.wineaustralia.com/growing-maki...

#AMSA2025 abstracts are open!

I will be leading the symposium "Community partnerships driving reciprocal outcomes in marine science", where we will share examples of third party engagement for mutually beneficial outcomes. This is just one symposium amongst an exciting suite of topics. Submit now!

While trying to tackle a metabarcoding project during my PhD in 2018, it became clear that most packages were designed with microbiologists in mind. @morgan-ellis.bsky.social and I now present a package made by ecologists, for ecologists; EGgPLant. It is now available at github.com/mrellis96/EG...
