Last week to apply for this 3 year PDRA!

Check it out... 🧪Post Doc opportunity. #stability #biodiversity #ecology

🌍📢 Postdoc alert | 3-yr starting early 2026 Please 🔁! Understand how ecosystem stability is changing across space and through time using niche modelling, pinpoint at-risk species/regions, and build tools that drive conservation action🌿🧭📈 👉 tinyurl.com/2mafwru3 #Ecology #Jobs #Biodiversity

It's that time of the year again - beautiful sunsets from the office window

📣Job vacancy!📣 Research Fellow in Global Conservation at Leeds, working with Dave Williams (and me, a bit) to assess the impact of conservation initiatives on biodiversity, carbon, and people: jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx... #ConservationScience 🌍

🚨 Fully funded PhD alert 🚨 Want to use big data to tackle to help biodiversity loss? Apply for a PhD quantifying how human pressures are affecting the resilience and extinction risk of vertebrate populations 🌍🦴 📍University of Bristol 🎓 Starts Sept 2026 🔗 tinyurl.com/cfdzrsj9

A reminder about this fantastic opportunity!

🚨Looking for a PhD project on 🐝? look no further! ✅ "Metapopulation dynamics of pollinating bees under pesticide pressure" Hosted @bristolbiosci.bsky.social and University of Swansea, with myself, @harrysiviter.bsky.social, and Miguel Lurgi Full details: bpb-eu-w2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.bristo...

Fantastic to welcome @trishg.bsky.social to the group today 🥳 Trisha is on an 1851 fellowship and will be working on resilience loss in savannahs with myself, @tommaso-jucker.bsky.social and @mdekauwe.bsky.social @bristolbiosci.bsky.social scholar.google.com/citations?us...

🚨 The news-media is utterly failing to cover these momentous scientific findings. The public is not being informed of the danger posed. The UK chief scientist Dame Angela McLean just highlighted this as an issue of national security - why are no news outlets covering it ?!? 🤯 #EndClimateSilence

📢 new publiction led by @francescocerini.bsky.social in Ecology We look at how press vs. pulse disturbances effect population collapse and how predictable that collapse is 🧪🔬 @duncanobrien.bsky.social @dzchilds.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Listening to @empirepoduk.bsky.social whilst on a bikepacking trip through Kenya is my new stress relief

Did you know that #microcosm experiments are cited ~ twice as often as non-microcosm experiments?! 🧪 AND Microcosm articles and non-microcosm articles were cited in #policy documents at SIMILAR RATE 🔬 New paper from @sternetal.bsky.social conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Super happy that @kerrys189.bsky.social passed her viva with no corrections!! 🥳🥳🥳 Congratulations, Dr. Stewart!! The EcCo lab will miss you, but we know you are off to do amazing things Thanks to the excellent examiners @alexpigot.bsky.social & @vlboult.bsky.social

Very cool - @bessonmarc.bsky.social 's Ecology Letters paper just passed 200 citations! 🎉 Interested in biological monitoring and robotics? Check it out below Towards the fully automated monitoring of ecological communities share.google/IxYWxgy0WS23...

Great to see the new paper picking up so much traction in the press www.theguardian.com/environment/....

Brilliant and important work from @kerrys189.bsky.social out today in @natecoevo.nature.com What is our best path to conserving global bird diversity? Find out here @bristolbiosci.bsky.social

Edinburgh by train to give a seminar tomorrow. Settling in for a solid 6.5h snacking session and (predictable) last minute talk writing

Excellent away day with the ecology team from @bristolbiosci.bsky.social - talking grants and future research plans @tommaso-jucker.bsky.social @filipemfranca.bsky.social @drlucyalford.bsky.social @chrisleduck.bsky.social @harrysiviter.bsky.social

New plant to celebrate a new grant 🥳 Thrilled to have been awarded a NERC pushing the frontiers to investigate how resilience changes across niche space. Watch this (niche) space @dzchilds.bsky.social @beckerhopper.bsky.social @bristolbiosci.bsky.social

Behind the scenes beetle bothering at @nhmla.bsky.social

Always nice to be at the NHM, especially for work

Are we using this platform for #Rstats help yet? I’m trying to figure out why my stochastic population simulation is running away instead of declining steadily like it does in the matrix format. Any #populationecology or #statisticalecology folks who can help? 🧪

Seen three talks (excellent) so far at #bes2024 and each one has mentioned #resilience in some capacity. But all skip over how to measure it or link their measures of "resilience" to response of communities/ecosystems. We definitely need some more work to link #resilience to real-world ecology

In celebration of a new NERC pushing the frontiers grant and Christmas at the #bes2024 I will be sporting this fetching little number

Heading up to #BES2024 today in Liverpool. Hopefully see lots of you there, and if you are going to be around why not drop in and see some of the group's talks (on #resilience, #seabirds, and #rewilding) @britishecolsoc.bsky.social
