New paper out: Response diversity is a major driver of temporal stability in complex food webs. #openaccess, using #opensource software, and delivering novel insights into biodiversity-stability relationships. Bravo to the team lead by Dr. Alain Danet. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

** PhD in Food Web Modelling, Pharmaceuticals & Soils ** Come model the impacts of pharmaceuticals from festival reclaimed fertiliser on food webs & biodiversity. Theoretical ecology/ecotoxicology & programming in R, Python, C++, Julia or Matlab required. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

📢 Dryad & @openrxiv.bsky.social are excited to announce a new partnership & integration. Beginning today, authors posting #preprints to @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social will have the option to upload #opendata to Dryad at the same time. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/4nHtcdA #preprint #openaccess #datasharing

Given the deranged turn in the public conversation around migration lately, I highly encourage everyone listen to this interview with environmental historian Prof. Sunil Amrith, on the history of human movement. It provides much needed perspective & more than a little sanity to the discussion!

Don't forget to register for our Hackathon event! We'll be discussing and testing a protocol to check whether published data/code is actually reproducible... Registration closes on the 15th September 🕤 Find out more and register here 👉 buff.ly/XTON0lV

🎊We’re excited to share that @beckerhopper.bsky.social has been elected chair of the Dryad Board of Directors. Beckerman takes over from @jasonwilliamsny.bsky.social, who continues to serve as a board member. Read more→

“Musk is amplifying a slew of incorrect and misleading information. His concern about the subject doesn’t extend to being truthful when addressing it.” How is this consistent with him retaining fellowship of the @royalsociety.org? www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Lovely to see Devi Satarkar’s first DPhil paper out in print

Climate change is creating warmer, drier conditions that cause fire seasons in some regions like western North America to last longer and be more active. Read more:

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

Don't miss this chance to join a truly interdisciplinary #PhD programme on Transforming Chemical Management for a Non-Toxic Future. Stage 1 Applications are due 6 Jan. #ecology #ecotoxicology #systemsthinking #urbanecosystems Details here: ecosolutions.sites.sheffield.ac.uk/home

We've now got the green light to revamp this booklet and we're looking for volunteers to write/peer review sections. Express your interest here: forms.gle/ZYFLPaC3k2RF.... We want to feature diverse ECR writers from across the world. Women of colour are especially encouraged!

That’s a wrap! There’s nothing quite like seeing ecologists and practitioners come together, sparking new ideas and collaborations. We can’t wait to bring this energy to Edinburgh next year. Until then, stay connected and stay inspired!

Wow 😱: The western arctic caribou herd has largely abandoned its southern ranges as winter survival has worsened there. In: Evidence for an Adaptive, Large-Scale Range Shift in a Long-Distance Terrestrial Migrant. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I don’t need to go on social media to have my worldview challenged I am in theoretical physics I have a new existential crisis daily

In the simpler days of 2015/16 we wrote the BES Guide to Reproducible Code: www.britishecologicalsociety.org/wp-content/u.... It’s time for a refresh! Would you like to help? I’m looking for people to review the existing booklet by 5th December.

This is an AMAZING public service - thank you!

Hey all, please RT this new starter pack for locating our fellow ecological modellers on Blue Sky! And please reply to this post if you'd like to be added to the starter pack! go.bsky.app/EfUQaM2

oh nice they have both

I am recruiting a postdoc in statistical physics, computational biology, or a related field to study the predictability of evolution in microbial communities. Please share! Details: qevomicrolab.org/wp-content/u... Apply by May 1 here: forms.gle/hMNgrh3Ja5dP...

More context for 🧪. New statistical methods accounting for spatial, temporal and evolutionary non-independence lead to big questions about global trends in biodiversity and improved prediction at smaller scales. Paper is OA so grab it if biodiversity things float your boat!

Check this out. Interesting times for biodiversity analyses. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪

To conclude - the name we will go with 'Science' for searchabulity as @bossett.bsky.social suggested. But referring to it as 'the science feed' is cool. The community of scientists on Bluesky will continue to be known as BlueSci, and that name will remain the name of the list the feed runs off 🧪
