Many sport organisations have capitalised on wildlife iconography to develop their brand. Representations of wildlife in sport offer enormous potential for shifting social norms, raising funds & promoting biodiversity conservation initiatives within the industry doi.org/10.1093/bios...

Interesting idea - what if sports teams championed the conservation of the species they use in their names and emblems? @[email protected]‬ esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Biophobias—fear of nature’s elements—don’t just impact mental health. They ripple through wildlife and public health, ecosystems & culture. We argue: it's time to frame biophobias as a One Health issue, tackling them with integrated solutions. Read it OA here: doi.org/10.1093/bios...

We believe sport can help save species. 🦁⚽ In our new @FrontEcolEnviron paper, we explore how professional teams, fans & conservationists can team up to turn iconic mascots into real-world action for biodiversity. 🌍🏟️ 📄 Read it: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #SportsForNature

Really happy to announce that the updated version of BioTIME is out!!🚨 This is the largest #database of #biodiversity #timeseries - now with 708 studies and >56 thousand species from across the planet!🦊🐀🐦🐊🐟🐙🦋🐞🌲🍀 & over 400 co-authors sharing their data🤩🤩 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

How broadening the #flagship concept can help conservation capture more hearts — and save more #nature - our paper on the unifying theoretical framework for #conservation #flagships now published in Biol. Conserv. doi.org/10.1016/j.bi... with @diogoverissimo.bsky.social and others #flagshipspecies

📢New paper!! 📢using #BioTIME #timeseries we showed that faster rates of #turnover in community composition were associated with faster rates of #temperature #change across biomes, for both cooling & warming + microclimate availability & human impacts modulate these responses go.nature.com/3WD7cWa

Small grants from Graduate Women International, for women already enrolled in a PhD, to aid research in science. Deadline in January! graduatewomen.org/what-we-do/g...

One month and one week left to apply to this exciting fully funded PhD project based at UEA, @ueaceec.bsky.social please share www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships...

Roll up roll up!! Ahead of @ecolsocaus.bsky.social #ESAus2024, and at @euanritchie.bsky.social's excellent suggestion, I to have made a starter pack: go.bsky.app/2A8GiTX Please reply if you identify as a woman working in #ecology and #conservation in Australia/NZ so I can add you! 🌏🧪

We are far from conserving migratory butterflies. Our new paper shows that current protected areas are inadequate for 👉84% of migratory butterfly species in at least one season 👉45% of species in all seasons. (1/7) doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

If you're looking for a gentle introduction to fit linear mixed models with R, with lots of examples, data & code available, here's one below. And not just another paper, just realized this one actually cites a Marvel’s comic book: cool-geek level unlocked :) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Welcome to all the researchers and scientists joining Bluesky, here’s a good resource to help get started!

Because of popular demand we have now a number II Conservation Science starter pack since the first one is full since a while 🙃. If you are not yet on the first one, pass me message. I preferentially add folks with clear conservation research focus in profile and skeets. go.bsky.app/9RdjmCX

Working on removing all the color from the #MetalFamilyTree as it will be printed monochrome silver on black (it will be so good - ugh!) I will have to Photoshop a mockup for those of you who don't know how awesome that will end up looking. Anyway, updates! Lots of detailing. Finicky process.

Green spaces provide substantial but unequal urban cooling globally - check our new study across the 500 largest cities worldwide, recently out in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s41... 🥵🍃🏙️🏠🌐🌳#heatstress #climatechange #greenspace #urbandesign #luxuryeffect

Academics wanting to 'verify' their Bluesky profile as genuine might give an ORCID identifier in their profile and link back to their Bluesky profile from ORCID. #AcademicSky

If you are looking for a post doc fellowship in France, holding PhD less than 5 yrs, and interested in climate change, ecology, you should apply campusfrance.org/en/mopga-2025

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.

MAJOR UPDATE (WITH FIXED LINK) sorry for shouting: The single most requested Altmetric feature in over a decade is coming to the platform soon: Social Media Sentiment Analysis. Sign up here to be notified when this service begins rolling out: www.altmetric.com/altmetric-se...

Foursquare just open sourced their 100 million place point of interest dataset! Some notes on poking around with it using DuckDB (it's Parquet files on S3) simonwillison.net/2024/Nov/20/...

Making starter packs seems to be the hot thing and I noticed that we don't have one for conservation scientists (🧪), so here we go go.bsky.app/3CZDnb2 So if you are an active researcher and would like to be added, reply here. Please no journalists or NGOs, there are other starting lists for that ;)
