#ESA2025 was a blast! Read all about what the ICON Science team got up to here 📰

It was a big week for team AJB at #ESA2025! From the @csiropublishing.bsky.social stall to dinner tables, Social Media Editors/Guest Editors/Co-Editors in Chief caught up with colleagues to discuss all things ecology and publishing 🌱

Journal manager Pat Hannah stands at the front of a room, speaking, with a presentation on screen next to him entitled 'Finding Agency in the Publishing Landscape'. Many people sit around a long table facing the front of the room, listening attentively.

We had a great time at #ESA2025!

We loved chatting with everyone & catching up with our authors, contributors and journal editors!

I recently gave a talk about Wilkerr (dingoes) at #ESA2025 (ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...). Many call them 'wild dogs' in S.A. Below the dingo fence they are to be _eradicated_, by law. But the only true wild dog I knew of was the legendary dachshund, Valerie. #DadJokes @ecolsocaus.bsky.social

Very happy to have my #drone photo of East Gippsland’s beautiful lowland mixed species eucalypt forests printed alongside other amazing photographers and ecologists in the new @csiropublishing.bsky.social ,Ecology Matters’. Launched at this year’s @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 conference!

Great stuff for a resilient #sustainable future at #ESA2025 @ecolsocaus.bsky.social

Thanks Guy!! As @benflips.bsky.social says "it's not rocket science, it's plumbing" #wildoz #esa2025

Blessed are those willing to act in the face of environmental threats. Saint @judydunlop.bsky.social inspired all at her #ESA2025 talk on stopping cane toads in their north western tracks.
All power to the WA toad ‘stoppers’.

Best line of the week at #esa2025 belonged to Tiahni Adamson during the #ESA2025 Indigenous Plenary:
‘walking together at the speed of trust’.

We all need to embrace this, when working with others.

An amazing week at
@ecolsocaus.bsky.social conference held on the lands of the Kaurna people.
Wonderful to catch up with colleagues and be inspired by excellent ecological research. Shout out to my Honours student Leon who presented on the big stage at his first conference!

#esa2025 was this you

Big thanks to @deannicolle1.bsky.social for generously showing us around his Currency Creek Arboretum this morning. What a wonderful and unique place to explore all the wonderful Eucalypts that are out there! Great way to wrap up @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESA2025 in #adelaide.

And that's a wrap! A huge thank you to all of the delegates, presenters, esteemed guests, exhibitors and sponsors who made this such a special week. We couldn't do this without you, your enthusiasm and shared drive for a resilient future.

Pictured are some #ecologicalfashion model shots 📸 #ESA2025

Just finished up a big few weeks with four talks at three conferences. Thanks for having me #Acoustics2025, #AOC2025 and #ESA2025.

So good to learn from so many brilliant people. Also managed to find some time to see some wild Numbats + a few other cool plants & animals. Now time for a nap 😴

✨ It was a pleasure to have @manjeet786.bsky.social from @westsyduhie.bsky.social join our symposium, presenting both a poster and a speed talk. He shared fascinating insights into how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can—and cannot—support sorghum in the fight against charcoal rot.

#ESA2025

Fascinating talk by Jiahoa Wen (@westsyduhie.bsky.social) on the differential response of plants to distinct arbuscular mycorrhizal communities

#ESA2025

Are you interested in phosphorus cycling by bacteria and archaea?

Keep an eye out for this massive work by PhD candidate Lachlan Curran on the ‘S.A.T.E’ framework for phosphorus cycling.

#ESA2025

Over the moon for Rebecca Greening from UniSA for winning best inaugural presentation at #ESA2025 🌝

Can’t wait to see Rebecca’s future on soil microbes on Aussie rangelands!

Fantastic talk by Solomon Maerowitz-McMahon from @westsyduhie.bsky.social, showing that fire interval and severity influence mycorrhizal community structure but not function.

#ESA2025

This week I had my first opportunity to present my research at the Ecological Society of Australia’s conference poster session! A great opportunity and already looking forward to next year. #esa2025 @ecolsocaus.bsky.social

Long-sought environmental law reform is finally here. But will the compromise deal actually protect nature? After years of failed attempts, Australia’s environmental laws are finally getting an overhaul. But will they stop the damage done to nature?

Our rapid assessment of the #EPBC Act reform package that's set to pass the senate theconversation.com/long-sought-... - Led by Justine Bell-James, with @drphilmccormack.bsky.social @yungenchee.bsky.social and me. #ESA2025 @aunz.theconversation.com @biodivcouncil.bsky.social @ecolsocaus.bsky.social

🥇 Exciting news announced today from the @ecolsocaus.bsky.social conference! Suzanne Prober - our long term TERN leader, has been awarded the 2025 ESA Gold medal. Congratulations Suzanne - TERN is proud of you and your achievements.

Well done to Genavieve (pictured below on the right) presenting at her first ever scientific conference!
Even better when your co-supervisor makes a special trip from Western Australia to support you 🥹
