Hurtado et al share that landscape connectivity significantly influences #carnivore communities, highlighting the need for its inclusion in #conservationplanning.🐾🌳 Learn more about their findings at doi.org/10.1111/cobi... #conservation #science #carnivores #carnivoreconservation

July issue: Perspective led by Benoit Gauzens on the application of interaction networks to different ecological questions, and that provides guidance on selecting the appropriate type of interaction network. 🧪🌎 Web link: go.nature.com/3GLdOwN Readcube: rdcu.be/ewqXc

Clearcutting doesn't mimic fire when it comes to biodiversity conservation - in the early stages of forest development at least. Congrats to Graham Frank on the publication of his PhD chapter! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🚨 New paper, led by Cristina Barber. We used high-resolution aerial imagery to study tree mortality in a tropical landscape. Large, isolated trees were most likely to die--alarming finding! @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

New paper out today in @natecoevo.nature.com on biodiversity & human wellbeing in UK forests, both seasonally and along a gradient of socioeconomic deprivation Funded by @erc.europa.eu and Woodland Trust 🌳, with lovely @dice-kent.bsky.social team www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New online! Biodiversity change under human depopulation in Japan

🆕 & #OpenAccess in Ecological Monographs: Despite stiff competition for limited resources, countless plants can coexist if they face a trade-off in how they compete for water vs light 📄Trait diversity in plant communities maintained by competition for water and light doi.org/10.1002/ecm....

A nice write up on former MSc student Serena Sinno's work on urban pollinator conservation (that I missed - since Concordia is still over there tweeting on X 🤦). www.concordia.ca/news/stories.... Dedicated students measured hundreds of flowers to show the importance of floral trait diversity!

🆕 in Ecological Monographs' "Method" section: Inspired by work showing "a community is more than the sum of its parts," a new geometry-based measure of beta diversity captures changes in species interactions 📄A geometric approach to beta diversity esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Our department (@EEBUofT) is searching for a Post-Doc! Post-docs funded by this fellowship are independently supported, with research funds available. We invite applications from innovative, collaborative candidates. See the job ad here: eeb.utoronto.ca/wp-content/u...

Just published today! We analyzed the SLOS dilemma for maintaining connectivity through urban sprawl besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Our new open access paper out in Earth's Future👉 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/.... In the paper, we demonstrate how assisted natural regeneration can act as a cost-effective NbS to be beneficial for both biodiversity and climate mitigation, and identified priority areas as per 30×30

A good opinion piece from the EiC of FEE: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... I find society-owned journals more rigorous, and more supportive to the scientific community. Whenever possible, let's give society journals more support as well @esajournals.bsky.social.

Check our latest paper out in @esajournals.bsky.social 👉 esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10...., in which we suggest changing the views towards urban weeds as they may provide significant eocsystem services, and revealed their functional responses to urbanization processes.
