We’ll use these results to continue to tweak our management efforts to make more #kakapo. Thanks to Ngāi Tahu for partnership, and to @Meridian for support. https://t.co/9efuPz7jeV #conservation #parrots Art by Sarah Little https://t.co/902HSAThWx
These results give us some guidance on how to help improve #kakapo fertility. https://t.co/9efuPz7jeV #conservation #parrots Art credit: Sarah Little (https://t.co/902HSAThWx)
The number of matings and mates a female #kakapo has and whether her mate is hand-reared have the most impact on clutch fertility. We think that there are high levels of sperm competition and female mate-guarding. #conservation #parrots https://t.co/9efuPz7jeV
New #kakapo paper! We analysed what most affects fertility, one of the biggest issues for kākāpō recovery. Ranger and artist Sarah Little (https://t.co/902HSAThWx) provides the summary. Read the full paper here: https://t.co/9efuPz7jeV. #conservation
Our team have just finished health checking and changing transmitters on #kakapo on Whenua Hou. With 91 kākāpō on the island, it involves a lot of work. Ranger and artist Sarah Little (https://t.co/902HSAThWx) explains the process! #conservation
#kakapo do everything differently: even their microbiome is unusual, with lower gut bacteria diversity than other herbivores. Read more in @anniegwest’s new paper. https://t.co/gBaw8dZlIa and https://t.co/r7WgfE7Bsq #conservation #parrots Art: Sarah Little https://t.co/902HSAB8Ip
The #microbiome is becoming increasingly relevant in threatened species #conservation as well as in human health. @anniegwest and others are helping to understand how it affects #disease etc in #kakapo. See here for more - sorry: paywall… :-( - https://t.co/K6x25D4zZF
Mystified by how rimu counts are used to predict #kakapo breeding? Well, fortunately we have the super-talented kākāpō ranger Sarah Little to explain how it all works. #conservation #parrots #art
Our #kakapo smart traps have had an upgrade, thanks to the awesome @docgovtnz Electronics Team. The multi-talented kākāpō ranger Sarah Little explains how and why we use them - starting with Bluster-Murphy on Whenua Hou last month. #conservationtech #parrots
Here’s another of #kakapo ranger Sarah’s creations. You can see more of her work on Instagram @sarahmaylittle. https://t.co/p3IjEZALZX
