Fisheries can drive selection, but what about small-scale ornamental fisheries? Our new study shows Amazonian fishes interact w/ traps in species- & environment-specific ways, hinting at overlooked selective potential.

It's spring again and Tawny Owls have started breeding in Glasgow! 🦉 The first adult owls of the season have been captured, ringed and tagged with biologgers, aiming to understand how they cope with roads, light & noise pollution in the urban environment. #GlasgowTawnyOwlProject #tawnyowls

HULK ADAM SMASHES DIRE WOLVES. Man alive this vexes me, and I am a bit sweary and irritable in this. Enjoy. arutherford.substack.com/p/dire-wolve...

Adjusting her red cap, “I never thought Leopard Seals would eat my face,” says a sullen Petrel who voted for the Leopard Seal Face Eating Party.

Stop. Admire the bee fly. Look at how it flies with absolutely no grace whatsoever. Observe how it unites bee and fly lovers everywhere without effort. Where is it going? What has it seen? With no honey to make, it has a lot of free time. #Invert #Invertebrate #Bee? #Fly #Insects

Are you running a long-term passive acoustic study or thinking about establishing one? If yes then have a quick look at our recent paper on mitigating long-term biases in acoustic studies. Inc. a direct comparison of AudioMoth and Song Meter Micro 2 using BirdNET & more...

Doing my MRes @sceneuog.bsky.social was a great experience - really motivated me to stay on in ecological research 🌳🐦🌲🐦‍⬛

I've started an ecoacoustics starter pack! Very aware that there are many more people in the field than are currently on this list, so please reach out if you'd like to be added/have colleagues who should be! 🐦🐸🎙️ go.bsky.app/NekQiFj

Mitigating bias in long-term terrestrial ecoacoustic studies🎶 Recommends 👉effective documentation of environmental & hardware-related variables📑 👉a long-term data storage strategy for reanalysis🌏 👉regular calibration tests to measure variation in the acoustic detection space🧪 🔗 buff.ly/Lu6rXz5

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

📰 NEW PAPER! Really pleased to see this published in @jappliedecology.bsky.social - a summary of the main sources of bias in ecoacoustic surveys, with recommendations on how best to control for these. 🎙️🐦🐸 doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Stumbled upon this from yonks ago. Owl identification made easy

Reviewer 2: the authors found a way to make the text longer, and the same time less precise and clear. Remarkable.

🚨new paper explores the utility of acoustic indices for measuring biodiversity in Cyprus, China, and Australia @cmammides.bsky.social Findings: 1) No single index was effective across regions. 2) acoustic indices may not yet provide the accuracy needed to monitor bird species richness effectively.

Hi bluesky! I'm Ross, I'm a PhD student working on ecoacoustic indicators of biodiversity and woodland restoration. Excited to share what I find here!
