A new #OpenAccess Statistical Report in "Ecology"!👀

📝 Are you using multispecies occupancy models to investigate interactions in species occupancy (i.e. co-occurrence)? 🦁🦓 Check out our new paper for advice on the number of sites you need to reliably detect interactions under different scenarios ⬇️

New paper alert ⚠️ Using #AI tools like #megadetector and #birdNET to process camera trap images or audio recordings? Read our perspective piece for some considerations and guidance on 📊 working with 0-1 confidence scores 🤔 making thresholding decisions 🧑‍💻 and navigating AI-labelling errors

I'll be talking at the @pintofscience.uk festival in St Andrews on May 19! Come along to learn about how AI works, how it's revolutionising ecology and what it's costing the earth 🌍 pintofscience.co.uk/event/ale-go...

Now accepting applicants for 25-26 intake of our #StatisticalEcology MSc: bit.ly/3ooHNyc. A unique opportunity to develop skills at the interface of #statistics and #ecology (some partial scholarships available too). Please help me share!

The Los Angeles wildfires are climate disasters compounded, writes @ericholthaus.com - the conditions for a January LA firestorm have never existed until now #climatecrisis #LAfires www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

We just posted our first round of fully funded interdisciplinary challege-led projects! netgain.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/phd-projects/ PhDs available at: @aberdeenunilib.bsky.social, @durhamuniversity.bsky.social, @glasgowunisrc.bsky.social, @uniofstandrews.bsky.social, @ukri.org

I am advertising a *fully funded* and genuinely interdisciplinary PhD looking at integrating ecology, statistics and environmental ethics. The project is part of the amazing @netgain.bsky.social. Please get in touch and share with anyone who might be interested! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

The value of simulation before analysis: @chrissuthy.bsky.social talks through work led by @ambercowans.bsky.social, yielding some cautionary lessons for users of species co-occurrence models. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #BES2024

Wow! Amazing opportunity here for South Africa based 🇿🇦 researchers to develop their quantitative skills! 🤩💻 Two workshops: • An intro to stats in R • Applied hierarchical modelling The course is FREE! These opportunities rarely come about in 🇿🇦, so share widely & sign up! #conservationscience 🌍

Huge congrats to @ambercowans.bsky.social on the acceptance of her first PhD chapter in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social: 'Improving the integration of AI into existing ecological inference workflows' It's a perspective piece, but if you cant wait, the preprint is here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
