*Positive news* Despite global declines in biodiversity, we find conservation has driven improvements in >100 species. This suggests with greater resource allocation to more species, conservation can halt and reverse biodiversity loss! First PhD paper: doi.org/10.1371/jour...

🚨NEW OPEN ACCESS PAPER🚨details how we delineated six #MarineFlyways applying a novel approach onto #seabird #tracking data: doi.org/10.1111/geb.70004 🧪 See the short animation via: www.seabirdtracking.org/case-studies... explaining how the marine flyways can be a framework to support #conservation

Do native predators help Australian mammals face invasive cats and foxes? 🦊 In this week's blog post, we discuss whether native predators inside ‘predator-free’ havens could be good for the conservation of threatened native prey species 💭🌎🧪 Read more 👇 appliedecologistsblog.com/2025/01/16/k...

20 yrs ago I started comparing the 3 lists of threatened birds BirdLife had published and working out overall trends. The Red List Index resulted from the ensuing collaboration & is now used by the world's governments & UN. Our new paper reviews the history royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

🚨Calling for seabird tracking data! 🚢We are collating seabird data for the Humboldt Current region to assess fisheries bycatch risk. 🤝This is a collaborative project with Global Fishing Watch funded by @nfwfnews.bsky.social. You can be part of it! Go to: www.seabirdtracking.org/humboldt-cur...
