In this paper we combine a meta-analysis showing that urban mosquitoes are crowded as larvae, with experimental work showing crowded larvae a more infectious as adults. An intriguing, horrible synergistic consequence of urbanisation.

Great work led by Izak Smit and colleagues exploring potential parachute science in protected areas. We ask could interest from international researcher increase research funding and collaborative research in protected area? doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Please share: New opportunity➡️ University of Cambridge has a new program to provide fully funded opportunities for 5 #Brazilian Mphil students a year! For more details and opportunities to link up with the Conservation Research institute, see: conservation.cam.ac.uk/suzano-maste...

There are an amazing diversity of places where biodiversity exists outside PAs that could possibly be OECMs. I took a look at what types of areas have been suggested so far: doi.org/10.1111/conl... There is lots of work to be done answering the question - which of these areas should be OECMs?

If you are interested in OECMs, I’ve created a big picture overview: doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

Two amazing jobs at Uni Bern. Assistent professorships in conservation biology and computational ecology. Bern is a wonderful place to live and work in! www.iee.unibe.ch/about_us/job...

Are you interested in conserving biodiversity outside protected areas? We’re hiring a postdoctoral research fellow to work on Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) for 2 years. Please share with your networks. More information here: careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...

I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

How do we track changes to Protected and Conserved areas? We extend the PADDD framework to capture CADDD. Document the first CA downgrade and identify a shocking number of PAs converted to Conserved Areas with no explanation. doi.org/10.1016/j.on...

Please share: @UBCScience is searching for 15 TT faculty in diverse areas of expertise science.ubc.ca/about/careers. Included are 2 positions in Quantitative and Environmental Science as part of a hiring cluster for black faculty; you will join 6 current UBC faculty science.ubc.ca/blackscholars.

There's a deep sense of sadness and loneliness seeing this record shattering graph. November 17, 2023 was the first day in recorded history when the earth's surface was a whole 2°C hotter than pre-industrial times. Yet, there's barely any chatter about this staggering breach.

Folks, please retweet. We have 3 entry level tenure track positions available here at monash. Field ecologists and experimental ecologists of any particular habitat focus and phytoplankton ecologist. careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...
