NEW JOB in #ornithology chasing #nutcrackers in Switzerland to understand seed dispersal patterns: buff.ly/Cx0OOQy

📘 New book out soon ! I’m excited to share that 𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐯 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐑 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐈𝐌𝐁𝐋𝐄 is being published by Chapman & Hall / CRC Press Hope it’s useful to students, researchers, and practitioners #StatisticalEcology #NIMBLE

New paper out with a combo of empirical patterns and theoretical models to propose a new ecological mechanism undelying body size evolution rdcu.be/e06Vt

Including the old black cat adoptions survival analysis example as a case study in the forthcoming Bayesian Workflow book. This is presented as a whole incremental workflow with simulation, validation, and model comparison. Just now went through code and extra-commented and cleaned. Getting close!

Come work with us! 🪲For our new project bAImo we are searching for a PhD researcher combining modelling 💻 with ecological expertise, aiming to improve interdisciplinary approaches to insect monitoring 🔎🐝 please visit tinyurl.com/bAImo-PhDoffer for more details. Looking forward to your application 🦗😊

I'm teaching Statistical Rethinking again starting Jan 2026. This time with live lectures, divided into Beginner and Experienced sections. Will be a lot more work for me, but I hope much better for students. I will record lectures & all will be found at this link: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

Seed dispersal by 🦜🦇 underpins rainforest recovery. We want to understand more about its timing + traits driving recovery through obs, exp + genomic data. Ready to join the @reassemblynet.bsky.social team working in Ecuadorian Chocó? Pls apply to our 4-yr PhD position @sgn.one: tinyurl.com/2pkryc99

I am happy to share that our bilingual field guide is now published!🌳📖 It shows fruits, seeds & seedlings 🥭🌱 of 40 plant species of the Tropical Dry Forest at the Laipuna reserve, Ecuador.🌎 ➡️ doi.org/10.5678/jcfh... #Ecuador #TDF #RESPECT #FOR2730 #plantidentification #fruits #seeds #seedlings

Working with individual trait data and functional trait spaces and bored about means? With @cpcarmona.bsky.social, Agnese Bissi and @etordoni.bsky.social, we put together a perspective to test the effect of individual observations on trait space properties 👇👇 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Our @sgn.one workshop organized together with @josephtobias.bsky.social and Susanne Fritz was enlightening, fun and will surely lead to many future interactions and outputs on how plant/animal traits translate into functions. Thanks to all for your excellent ideas and very respectful discussions! 🌐

Excited to share that the second paper of my PhD is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social 🍈🦜🍒🐒🍊🐿️ We show that the functional diversity of seed-dispersal interactions in tropical forests takes circa 20 years to recover after deforestation. You can read it here: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Back home after a wonderful week! Learning so much about metabarcoding 🧬thanks to the workshop organized by @nclneg.bsky.social, followed by inspiring plenaries, talks & posters! Loved catching up with 🫶🏼friends & meeting new generation of net ecologists. Already looking forward to the next one in 🇧🇷!

New CRAN package mini007 with initial version 0.1.0 #rstats https://cran.r-project.org/package=mini007

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

just published in Ecological Monographs THE UNITS OF BIODIVERSITY How, where and what to measure in biodiversity research?

Here’s sneak peak of our latest expedition to Cabo de Hornos. The biodiveristy, incredible, and crossing Beagle channel while being so close to Antartic was truly an experience. Now, still some days left to work in Navarino! 🪲🌱🐛🪰🕷️🌿🐧 @annatraveset.bsky.social

📣 Jobs alert- please share! 4(!) PhD positions on topics including species interactions, AI, global mapping and tropical ecology 🫐🌿🌸🍄🌏 PhD 1: bit.ly/TREES-Mappin... (w/ UCL East) PhD 2: bit.ly/TREES-CV-4-I... (w/ UCL East) PhD 3: bit.ly/TREES-Megadi... (w/ Kew Gardens) PhD 4: bit.ly/4i35cj5 (CSC)

Posters, pints, and presentations 📊🍺🗣️ Thank you @britishecolsoc.bsky.social for hosting a great conference in Liverpool! It is wonderful to be part of such an engaging community.

Thank you all for the great time at the #BES2024 See you next year!

🔥 New paper out 🔥 Seed dispersers help plants tracking climate change on mountains! Animals are dispersing plant species to higher elevations... but over half of the plants arriving at higher elevations were exotic. 🦎🐦💩🌿 @newphyt.bsky.social 🧪🍁🌐🌏 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
