Good morning #BES2025! Curious about demographic niches? Decomposing the vital rates that make up a species niche? Head down to poster B14.26 later today to find out more! Let's chat science! @britishecologicalsociety.org

Remembering #JaneGoodall and her life's dedication to understanding primates, conservation, and reaching out to the next generation of nature lovers. There's always a bit of sadness, in hearing about the passing of great figures, but more important is that we remember their work.

Even when the sky is falling, there will be a hole for you to squeeze through #AcademicLife #lifequotes

So sad to read this 😢 As someone working in 🇦🇷 for 10+ years I know that Argentine colleagues always had to face difficult and often unpredictable conditions. But the Milei government is dismantling Argentina's scientific system with unprecedented aggression - www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Deadline for the EvoDemoS conference 2 wks away! Join us at @PembrokeOxford @UniofOxford to discuss the breath and depth of demographic theory and applications in Sept evodemo2025.weebly.com Please retweet @biology.ox.ac.uk @pembrokeoxford.bsky.social @mpidr.bsky.social @britishecologicalsociety.org

An important but often overlooked aspect of rewilding or any restoration science is that IT TAKES TIME for nature to come back! We may remove the farm and even seed the land, but what if the little mice, katydid, spider, or bird is 200 km away? Conservation needs to be active!

🚨New review out in @ecography.bsky.social! 🔥Mechanistic niche models (MNMs) are the future—but they’re not plug-and-play. Our paper lays out how and when to use MNMs to predict invasive species distributions under climate change. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I gave my first ADHD talk 2 weeks ago. Posting now because… ADHD. But this was also my first step in speaking publicly and raising awareness about what ADHD really is — especially in academic and workplace spaces. 🧠

#ECONOVOStories 🌍✨ @joe-atkinson.bsky.social, @mattkerr.bsky.social, @cmlmagneville.bsky.social, and @seh-pang.bsky.social attended the BES Annual Meeting 2024, sharing insights on from their research at ECONOVO! #ECONOVO #Ecology #Biodiversity #AarhusUniversity #BritishEcologicalSociety

Can 19th-century land use still influence today’s grasslands? Our research suggests it can—though the effects are subtle! Led by Gabri Midolo, our new article in Landscape Ecology explores how historical land use shapes the plant composition of current grasslands.

There is a huge potential for #tropical #forest #regeneration, either naturally or through #restoration efforts. Several countries stand out, Brazil, Indonesia, China, Mexico and Colombia. While there is a lot of doom-and-gloom in science, there is also hope. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
