Time to rethink nature conservation? 🌍 Senior ecologists, including our own @dmevans.bsky.social, are calling for an ecosystem approach as the only way to halt the vanishing of UK wildlife and protect the ecosystem services that nature provides 🌱 www.britishecologicalsociety.org/time-to-reth...

In this report, we make the case for a more holistic ecosystem-centred approach, highlighting its benefits for biodiversity recovery and for aligning agendas across government departments. www.britishecologicalsociety.org//wp-content/... @sciencesncl.bsky.social

Wonderful plenary by Paulo Guimarães on indirect effects in ecological networks #EcoNet2025

It’s the end of #EcoNet2025 and what better way to celebrate than an exploration of Bamburgh Castle and walk on the beach

Really happy to have participated in #EcoNet2025 this week. Such an inspiring symposium with amazing people, can’t wait for the next one!

Another fantastic #Econet2025— had such a great time! So many inspiring talks, new ideas, and great conversations. Already looking forward to the next one in… Brazil!!! 🇧🇷

Don't miss out! Register for a session at the National Environment Monitoring Conference - deadline next Friday 12 Sep. From Insight to Impact: Building the UK Environmental Monitoring Community 📅 15 December 📍 EICC, Edinburgh Learn more: buff.ly/SHTboRN #NEMC2025

That’s a wrap! Thanks to everyone who came to #EcoNet2025 and safe home

Wonderful #EcoNet2025 dinner at the Hancock with old and new friends from across the globe @sciencesncl.bsky.social

Wonderful to hear Jane Memmott giving the first plenary talk at #econet2025 - especially incorporating people in plant-pollinator networks

Our very own Bea Dale gave a compelling talk about the importance of trees in plant-pollinator networks #EcoNet2025

Fine new frameworks presented by @blancaac.bsky.social that bridge scales in mutualistic networks, and hopefully beyond

Looks like #EcoNet2025 has started early at the City Tavern. Welcome to the Toon @sciencesncl.bsky.social

FINAL CALL. Registration closes Monday 18th August

NEW PAPER: Herbicide application indirectly affects non‐crop plant–pollinator networks in agroecosystems @jappliedecology.bsky.social besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Fantastic visit to some of the Biodiversity Exploratories plots in Germany. So many excellent papers have come from this long-term project and great to actually see some of them, and the fabulous teams that make it happen. Thanks DFG.

I’m delighted to be visiting the Biodiversity Exploratories in Germany and reviewing some fascinating grant proposals over the next few days

Congratulations to Dr. Pedro Leote on successfully defending his thesis at the University of Innsbruck. Pleasure acting as external examiner.

PAPER ACCEPTED: Herbicide application indirectly affects non-crop plant-pollinator networks in agroecosystems @jappliedecology.bsky.social and led by Julia Tevella
