I'm so proud of this project. Its an interesting story (involving a plucky masters student, wasted resources and how lack of follow up means valuable lessons in conservation are lost). Thread......

Our new Editorial is here!

We highlight three key knowledge gaps concerning the role of biodiversity and the ecology of food production systems 🌱

And define Journal of Applied Ecology's role in closing these knowledge gaps 👇
