The latest paper from the DISCAR synthesis group is out at Ecology Letters! We discuss the key approaches to predicting human impacts on wildlife populations, highlighting avenues for incorporating indirect effects, such as energetic modelling. doi.org/10.1111/ele....

New York Times article discusses @nature.com paper by our Rune Dietz, Christian Sonne, and others at @au.dk and the University of Copenhagen 🌐🐋🧪🌏 @newyorktimeshaiku.bsky.social @ucph.bsky.social #Science #Research #impact #Mercury #Arcticchange

Animal energetics, movement, and coexistence are inextricably linked. What insights emerge when we consider these processes together? In our new paper, we present a conceptual framework that integrates these domains, outlines their connections, and highlights the value of their joint study.

Do you use geolocators to estimate foraging time, behaviour, or energetics in diving seabirds? See our new paper for insights from a study of Common Guillemots. doi.org/10.61350/sbj... @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social

After years of non-stop brainstorming and hard work with @alamarins.bsky.social & co, we're thrilled to present IBASAM (v3): a spatially explicit demo-genetic individual-based model for anadromous salmonids (meta)populations. @inrhttps://ibe.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=153305

Our Senior Researcher Fredrik Christiansen recently completed the third photogrammetry field season on bowhead whales in Disko Bay, Greenland. See Thread. 🌐🌏🐋🧪 @FChristiansen.bsky.social #marinemammology #ecology #cetaceanresearch #Arctic #MarineEcology #Research #Science

This week I'm out in the Danish #BalitcSea on the #SAMBAHII Project, working to monitor the remaining 500 Baltic #harborporpoise. Here, we are deploying a 4-channel array to calculate the #dectectionFunction, or the likelihood of detecting porpoise #echolocation in the study area.

📣 New paper alert ! 📣 Image-based bio-logging offers unique insights into marine predator behaviour 🦭 🦈 🐧 🐢 and ecosystem functioning, but demands advanced analytical tools. #MarineConservation #AI #ComputerVision #BioLogging Grateful to the global inter-disciplinary collaborative effort! 🙏 😊

Excited to share our new paper on how empirical research can better support mechanistic models—through realistic, interdisciplinary data and by embracing complex, individual-level mechanisms. Born from a @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social symposium! doi.org/10.1111/2041... @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social

Postdoc call in Mechanistic Biodiversity Modelling (up to 6 ya) at my lab @unibonn.bsky.social. We focus on modelling terrestrial plant communities, island biogeography, range dynamics, eco-evolutionary feedbacks, diversity gradients, tropical forests, vascular epiphytes. Pls rt! shorturl.at/CL1ny

✏️The African EFI Chapter has officially launched! The group will host a short course in Cape Town late 21-25th July. Applications close 9 June. Find details and the link to the application form at: ecoforecast.africa/events/curre... Please share with African colleagues and collaborators!

Tomorrow is the last day to apply! 🏃‍♀️

Excited to share our new paper led by Leonna Szangolies! We used a mechanistic, individual-based model grounded in animal energetics to explore how drought and habitat fragmentation interact to shape species coexistence 💻🐁🐀🐿️

Well done, Leonna Szangolies, for winning the 2024 Elton Prize in @animalecology.bsky.social!🏆  Leonna’s research models how habitat fragmentation affects coexistence among species of different body sizes. 🐁  https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2656.14134
