Senior Research Fellow at ICON Science, working on Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design 🌳🏠🦜 | She/Her | linktr.ee/jacintahumphrey #UrbanEcology #UrbanBirds #WomeninSTEMhttps://bsky.app/profile/jacintahumphrey.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/jacintahumphrey.bsky.social/post/3mhr5uuak7k2qJust over two weeks in and I'm already feeling so welcomed and at home on this campus! Here at #UniMelb, I’ll be working on two ARC-funded projects focused on Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design and ‘everyday nature’ in streetscapes. Plenty of urban ecology work ahead! 😀 @icon-science.bsky.social23 Mar 2026 22:57 +0000at://did:plc:gsubdadixqysox44xtust7jb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhr5uuak7k2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/jacintahumphrey.bsky.social/post/3mciphhbtok2v✨ New year, new campus! ✨ Kicking off the year with a change of scenery and an exciting new university home.

In my recent paper, I demonstrate that more developed suburbs are home to fewer individual birds and a reduced diversity of bird species. 1/5 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-025-02238-231 Oct 2025 04:49 +0000at://did:plc:gsubdadixqysox44xtust7jb/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4hofimyb22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/jacintahumphrey.bsky.social/post/3m3t7tqoxsc2wThe @birdlifeoz.bsky.social #AussieBirdCount is here!

Here's a perfect example! This photo from Google Street View was taken during Lydia Daniel’s Honours fieldwork – we were surveying large street trees for birds, which involved a lot of time standing on nature strips and staring up at trees.13 Jul 2025 23:21 +0000at://did:plc:gsubdadixqysox44xtust7jb/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltuzawppfk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/jacintahumphrey.bsky.social/post/3ltdflpkamc2hLast month, I had the opportunity to attend the International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB) in Meanjin/Brisbane.
