Paper out in Ecology Letters! We - incl. @westobymark.bsky.social @biogeokreft.bsky.social and others - show that traits are linked to species’ colonisation and extinction probabilities on #islands — with direct implications for species persistence and the Equilibrium Theory of Island #Biogeography

I am happy to share our new paper, introducing our glacier forefield study platform in the Dachstein and Berchtesgaden Mountains https://we.copernicus.org/articles/25/157/2025/ #newpaper #glacierforefields #alps And by coincidence just in time for the #imc2025 (Edited 10:17 via @skeetsapp.com#newpaper

Thermal drones are a promising tool for monitoring nocturnal arboreal wildlife, including elusive endangered species. They matched ground survey detection while covering more areas, greatly expanding our survey abilities. Read more: #unimelb Pursuit article: pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/The...

Do we outsource research conferences at our peril? For‑profit event firms reduce our effort, but fees are high and returns to academia low. Would not-for-profit society-organized meetings held at universities benefit the academic community more? peeer.net/2025/08/04/t...
