New paper alert!! With @pettorelli.bsky.social and Regan Early We asked whether social media records could be used to study species distributions - and it turns out they can! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

River-lovers: the Riverfly initiative is a brilliant way to help protect your local river. Get trained as a citizen-scientist: learn to monitor your local river via key inverts, report pollution, create data-sets: riverflies.org Get hands-on, get wet, make a difference! @paulpowlesland.bsky.social

Bioturbation on the map - delighted to see a nice accessible summary of our work by @alisoncribb.bsky.social in @currentbiology.bsky.social, read here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cu.... We are working on a follow up, watch this space! In (A) bioturbation intensity, in (C) the mixed depth.

A spectacle to behold, in the shallows, hugging this island, we see broad cowtail rays and mangrove whiprays - and looking with a close eye, few juvenile blacktip reef sharks weave between the rays. Footage by Sebastian Staines. #saveourseasfoundation #sharksandrays #conservation #videography

I'm #hiring: PDRA to join my #ukriflf project to understand how forest structure, function and dynamics are linked in Europe, using high resolution remote sensing data (TLS, UAV-LS). Based in Cambridge. Please share! 🌳⚡🛰️🌲 Full details: www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50447/ #pdra #forests #lidar

🚨Publication alert!🚨 Thrilled to share that our paper, “Ancient frameworks as modern templates: exploring rubble consolidation in an ancient reef system”, is now out and is open access. We found that 🪸 rubble in the Late Triassic shared similar consolidation processes to modern reefs.

1/11 New preprint out with @hannahdugdale.bsky.social, @lummaalab.bsky.social, and @erikpostma.bsky.social: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Why do we age? And can a “natural experiment” during the Great Finnish Famine with long-term data help provide some answers?

Just finished some fantastic fieldwork in Fiji with Victor Bonito @ Reef Explorer Fiji. We have started out a long-term project looking at soft corals on the reef flats mapping out multiple plots from four different sites to see what the ecological dynamics are & how they change through time.

Fish diversity has changed dramatically on the Great Barrier Reef @earthdotcom.bsky.social www.earth.com/news/fish-di...

Still hope for coral reefs. Using 28-years of data in Seychelles, we find reefs recovering 4-5 years faster from the 2016 bleaching event, than they did after 1998. Also, a reef that had regime-shifted to macroalgae for over 15 years, is recovering to coral. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

For #FossilFriday have you ever considered the scorpion fossil record? This is surprisingly rich, but how we categorize these animals transcends being a hot mess. It's a spicy disaster. My colleague Jason and I wrote a paper on it which came out today: peerj.com/articles/185... ⚒️🧪🦀🦑 #evosky

For #FossilFriday, I'm delighted to share this amazing new specimen donated to the NHM. The slab preserves over 100 specimens of the Middle Jurassic crinoid Isocrinus nicoleti. This is the subject of ongoing research with Tim Ewin, Ebony Cutcliffe, @egmitchell.bsky.social & @echinerd.bsky.social .
