Sunday, April 11, 2010. This week I came across a few cracking albums at the Mount Beauty car boot sale. Don't worry though, I don't normally travel this far for records, I was on a camping holiday getting some fresh air, playing frisbee and going for walks and bike rides. This coming Saturday Record Attempts is at the Sister's Market in Brunswick. Brunswick Town Hall on the corner of Sydney and Glenlyon Roads from 10:00am - 4:00pm to be precise. I'd recommend coming down as Pip. May 14, 2010 at 1:26 AM.

Detectability, threatened species and environmental impact assessments | Georgia's Research

https://ggarrardresearch.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/detectability-threatened-species-and-environmental-impact-assessments

Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design. Detectability, threatened species and environmental impact assessments. This blog post is about an upcoming paper in. It is now widely accepted that many species are not perfectly detectable during an ecological survey. This means that, sometimes, a species that is present at a site will not be detected by an observer (or observers) during a survey of that site. But why do we care? But the implications of imperfect detectability can be particularly severe when we are ...

Flabby or Fit? | Georgia's Research

https://ggarrardresearch.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/flabby-or-fit

Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design. Today I measured my waistline. Not my own wasteline, but that of my writing. I came across the The Writer’s Diet test. While reading about stylish academic writing. I plugged in a couple of paragraphs from a manuscript I’m working on. Turns out my writing is not in good shape. It also provides you with a diagnosis that includes tips for trimming down your writing. For example, the test discourages overuse of. I normally hate nominalisations. But I study. July 18, 2012.

Data, data, everywhere! | Georgia's Research

https://ggarrardresearch.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/data-data-everywhere

Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design. Data, data, everywhere! Ecologists are reluctant to make use of existing data and information when conducting analyses because of concerns regarding inconsistencies in data collection, analysis and sample sizes. This means that ecologists often feel that they must collect all the data required for a study or, conversely, that there is insufficient data to conduct the study. But there is SO much data out there! Journal of Animal Ecology. And tagged Bayesian priors.

Splendour in the grass | Georgia's Research

https://ggarrardresearch.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/splendour-in-the-grass

Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design. Splendour in the grass. This afternoon, on my way home from a friend’s in Malmsbury, I decided to stop in Sunbury to have a look at one of Melbourne’s best native grasslands. I first saw this grassland when I started my PhD in 2005. But it’s been a few years since I’ve seen it at this time of the year, and I wanted to see how it was looking. What a good idea! I was completely blown away by what I saw. So, was it worth the effort? Slender speedwell (Veronica gracilis).
