Beautiful days of fieldwork! Our PI Çağatay Tavşanoğlu @ctavsanoglu.bsky.social explored alpine habitats & plant communities in Hasandağı (~ 3250 m) in centeral Anatolia with Jalil Noroozi and Golshan Zare. 
Thanks to both for the great collaboration and inspiring exchange! 🌱

I'm thrilled to share some wonderful news with you today! My master’s thesis, “Spatiotemporal Patterns of Lightning-Induced Wildfires in Turkey”, has received the Best Master's Thesis Award from the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Society of Türkiye - EkoEvo!

🎤 “The Intellectual Evolution of Ecology: Paradigm Shifts and Current Trends” was presented today at #EEBST2025 by Prof. Dr. Çağatay Tavşanoğlu, our principal investigator.

🎉 We’ve got great news! Our teammate Gülseli Kırgıl successfully defended her master’s thesis on June 16 and is now officially a graduate! 👩‍🎓✨ 🐝🌸Thesis title: Patterns of insect pollinator diversity in rare and common plants growing in a marl steppe habitat in Central Anatolia Congrats Gülseli! 🌿

🌱 We’re expanding #SeedArc! Our collaborators at @UniOviedo are hiring a Postdoc in Seed Regeneration Niche to grow the global database & research seed germination ecology. Starts July 2025, 18-month contract. Spread the word—apply by 12 June!

Abstract submission deadline extended to 31 May 2025 for #EEBST2025! Hacettepe Univ., Ankara | 9-11 July 2025 Exciting plenaries + special events (incl. a Philosophy of Biology Mini-Symposium in Turkish) Submit now: eebst.ekoevo.org

📢 Only 10 days left until the abstract submission deadline for EEBST 2025! Submit your abstracts by 25 May here 👉 eebst.ekoevo.org

Planting a massive chunk of public land in pines is not our solution to climate change. This is continuing short-term thinking and it's a net negative for biodiversity. Some pine is fine, but not at this scale.

Abstract submission for EEBST 2025 has opened 🚨 Submit your abstracts here 👉 eebst.ekoevo.org until May 25th. Looking forward to see you in Ankara!

I am trying to find the symposium book "Diversity and Stability in Ecological Systems: Report of a Symposium Held May 26-28, 1969," in which Lewontin's paper "The Meaning of Stability" is found. It can't be bought or reached via Amazon, Google, and sci-hub. Does anyone share this paper with me?

Science is under attack! This observatory at Mauna Loa is an iconic one that have shaped our understanding of climate change.

The 11th Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Symposium (#EEBST2025) will be hosted by Hacettepe University in Ankara, Türkiye, from July 9–11, 2025. 🌿🐾🧬 Symposium website: eebst.ekoevo.org. Save the date and stay tuned for updates!

Wildfires have always been a natural part of ecosystems, even before human activities made them more frequent and severe. Lightning-driven fire regimes are a prime example, as seen here in Marmaris, southwestern Türkiye—the region with the highest occurrence of lightning-induced fires in the country

Our latest piece urges the conservation of Central Anatolian grasslands, which are heavily used and now threatened by afforestation. Often misperceived as degraded forests from millennia of human activity, these ecosystems deserve recognition and protection! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I came to Bluesky from the X platform after almost 8 years of usage and 1500 tweets, hoping for a healthier social network. I am a scientist from #Türkiye, working on various aspects of #ecology. I mostly share about #science, #environment, #wildfires, #climatechange.
