“We’re missing an opportunity to leverage tree crops to address some of the biggest environmental and social challenges of our time,” says Carlos Martínez-Núñez, a researcher at @ebdonana.bsky.social and coordinator of the study. Press release: www.ebd.csic.es/en/outreach/... Article 👇

We are proud to share that recent research from #TEELab at Asian School of the Environment, NTU, was featured in The Straits Times as part of the SG60 special on Singapore’s “City in Nature” vision 🌳🏢🌳 teelabntu.wixsite.com/home/post/bi...

🌿 Excited to share our new study showing that integrating urban agriculture with other green spaces can enhance biodiversity and ecosystem functions in cities! 👏 Led by Emilio, Zeyu & Sihao 📖 Read more: doi.org/10.1002/2688... #UrbanEcology @teelab.bsky.social

So proud of these two amazing Dr's and excited for their next adventures ❤️ 🤩🎓🎉 @teelab.bsky.social NTU Asian School of the Environment first graduating PhD students 🥳 @tharakasp.bsky.social @xinruiong.bsky.social teelabntu.wixsite.com/home/post/ce...

Today, we have a guest post by Tharaka S. Priyadarshana, a Research Fellow, who writes about how adding vegetation to road verges can improve butterfly population sizes. Read the article here: happyeconews.com/city-road-ve... #happyeconews @tharakasp.bsky.social

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...

Brief interruption in my/our doom scrolling/posting to share a paper I'm really proud of that has taken almost a decade with the very patient @exconomist.bsky.social @katehelmstedt.bsky.social P. Reich, S. Polasky & K. Boersma www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/n

Flower-rich, less-cut road verges support #butterflies in #urban environments. Our new paper in Landscape and Urban Planning using causal inference methods to assess #biodiversity in urban green spaces. Led by @tharakasp.bsky.social @teelab.bsky.social 🦋🌼🛣 teelabntu.wixsite.com/home/post/fl...

🎉Heartiest Congratulations, Dr @tharakasp.bsky.social!!! teelabntu.wixsite.com/home/post/he...

🎉 Congratulations, Dr. @tharakasp.bsky.social on successfully defending his PhD! ✨ Your dedication to conserving #invertebrate #biodiversity in #agricultural & #urban landscapes is truly inspiring! Proud supervisor @eleslade.bsky.social 😎 #TEELab #phdunlocked

📢 Exciting news! 🥳 Dr. @xinruiong.bsky.social has successfully defended her PhD on advancing #insect #conservation in Southeast Asia 🪲🧬 #TEELab @eleslade.bsky.social teelabntu.wixsite.com/home/post/dr...

🎉 Huge congratulations to Dr. @xinruiong.bsky.social on successfully defending her PhD! ✨ Her work on #integrative approaches to address data, knowledge & capacity gaps in SE Asia #insect #conservation is a major step for #biodiversity research. Proud supervisor @eleslade.bsky.social 😎 #TEELab #phd

Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

Do you ignore the effects of #ConfoundingVariables in your models? Do you remove correlated variables because of a statistical test rather than causal reasoning? If so, read this paper by @jebyrnes.bsky.social and @lauradee.bsky.social! #AcademicSky 🧪🌏 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

📖Published📖 Our new research article demonstrates how you might combine expert knowledge with causal diagrams and superpopulation models to mitigate geographic biases in biodiversity monitoring data 🌎 🧪 Read it here 👇 https://buff.ly/3C2ZKws

New study out in @science.org combining a massive #biodiversity dataset from SAFE Project & SEARRP science, showing that logged forest is still valuable for biodiversity. Happy that @teelab.bsky.social #dungbeetle data could contribute to this. Read more here www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Happy New Year from @teelab.bsky.social. Here's to more fun in 2025! teelabntu.wixsite.com/home/post/ha...

Ushering in 2025 is our latest publication in Ecology Letters! Through a quantitative assessment of insect occurrence records, insect studies and '#conservation' posts, we identified gaps in five areas and suggest potential solutions to enable insect conservation efforts in Southeast Asia. (1/n)

OK, here is a very rough draft of a tutorial for #Bayesian #SEM using #brms for #rstats. It needs work, polish, has a lot of questions in it, and I need to add a references section. But, I think a lot of folk will find this useful, so.... jebyrnes.github.io/bayesian_sem... (use issues for comments!)
