Fantastic work by Tom Atkins at the Great Big Green event in Rothbury, gathering public perceptions of amenity grasslands and potential for boosting biodiversity @sciencesncl.bsky.social #socioecologicalnetworks

Delighted to take part in the Royal Society of Edinburgh workshop on Forestry and tackling the nature-climate crisis: key knowledge and evidence gaps

Back home after a wonderful week! Learning so much about metabarcoding 🧬thanks to the workshop organized by @nclneg.bsky.social, followed by inspiring plenaries, talks & posters! Loved catching up with 🫶🏼friends & meeting new generation of net ecologists. Already looking forward to the next one in 🇧🇷!

That’s a wrap! Thanks to everyone who came to #EcoNet2025 and safe home

Another fantastic #Econet2025— had such a great time! So many inspiring talks, new ideas, and great conversations. Already looking forward to the next one in… Brazil!!! 🇧🇷

Really happy to have participated in #EcoNet2025 this week. Such an inspiring symposium with amazing people, can’t wait for the next one!

It’s the end of #EcoNet2025 and what better way to celebrate than an exploration of Bamburgh Castle and walk on the beach

Wonderful plenary by Paulo Guimarães on indirect effects in ecological networks #EcoNet2025

📣 New research, including @savebutterflies.bsky.social #citizenscience data, shows winners & losers across >1200 insect species in Britain since 1990. Urbanisation identified as major driver of decline for moths, ladybirds & hoverflies www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🌍 🦋🐞🦗🪲🐝

Wonderful #EcoNet2025 dinner at the Hancock with old and new friends from across the globe @sciencesncl.bsky.social

Fine new frameworks presented by @blancaac.bsky.social that bridge scales in mutualistic networks, and hopefully beyond

Our very own Bea Dale gave a compelling talk about the importance of trees in plant-pollinator networks #EcoNet2025

Wonderful to hear Jane Memmott giving the first plenary talk at #econet2025 - especially incorporating people in plant-pollinator networks

Looks like #EcoNet2025 has started early at the City Tavern. Welcome to the Toon @sciencesncl.bsky.social

A small group of about 10 writers, researchers and web development ninjas are launching an ambitious effort to preserve key climate data that the Trump administration has taken offline.

Indirect ecological interactions are everywhere in nature, with species influencing another through a third species or the environment. Such interactions are rarely connected to rapid evolutionary change. Here, aphid-driven herbivory of duckweed drove adaptive evolutionary change in Daphnia.

Thank you @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social

Palace Leas definitely comes under the category of a VERY #LongTermExperiment #LTE! Learn more about what Darren Evans is doing at Palace Leas here: bit.ly/PalaceLeas (Also note the interpretation board in Darren's photo)

We’ve been taking yield measurements at Palace Leas since 1876! Great to see another cut @newcastleuni.bsky.social

Congratulations Dr Kyle Miller on your graduation. Kyle’s primary supervisor was James Kitson. Best wishes for your future at Forest Research

Still time to consider going for the Sidnie Manton award!

It's time for @animalecology.bsky.social 's Sidnie Manton Award for Early Career Researchers! Send in those ideas!

Anyone got a video of a hare having the shit scared out of it by a curlew — ah, don’t worry, got one anyway!

Fantastic visit to some of the Biodiversity Exploratories plots in Germany. So many excellent papers have come from this long-term project and great to actually see some of them, and the fabulous teams that make it happen. Thanks DFG.

I’m delighted to be visiting the Biodiversity Exploratories in Germany and reviewing some fascinating grant proposals over the next few days

…and you think you’re having a bad hair day

Congratulations to Dr. Pedro Leote on successfully defending his thesis at the University of Innsbruck. Pleasure acting as external examiner.
