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

Train is 100% the best way to travel

Each year we celebrate remarkable ecologists in our BES awards🏆 Categories cover the breadth of experiences and career stages, so let us know which ecologists inspire you! Make your nominations by 7 April  https://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/bes-prizes/

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
