With Jack Bamber's first PhD chapter being published today in Journal of Applied Ecology, worth retweeting this thread on the key takeaways Paper: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… Thread 👇

Dear BBC News (UK) we would like to know why you didn’t cover a major news event in #London yesterday. Between 60-100 THOUSAND people marched at the #RestoreNatureNow. It looks like you are picking what you think is newsworthy. Isn’t that called bias? Regards, British wildlife.

Two litters of wildcat kittens have been born in the Cairngorms 🎉 Following the release of 19 wildcats last summer, two females have successfully given birth in the wild, marking a huge milestone in our efforts to restore wildcats in Scotland ➡ savingwildcats.org.uk/kittensborninw…

It #ISEC2024 time! 🤓 After a terrific weekend of workshops, now the talks begin. Here is the programme: chrissuthy.quarto.pub/international-… And here is a biased selection of talks you *must* see 🧵

Albert Bonet Bigata: Albert Bonet Bigatà Sentence: Developing spatially explicit Bayesian removal models to estimate landscape-scale invasive mink residual population dynamics S-2-2 Population Dynamics 1 (Monday 16:15)

Excited to be presenting at The International Statistical Ecology Conference tomorrow! Come along if you are using multispecies occupancy models to investigate species co-occurrence 🦸‍♀️🦸💥

PhD position available: The influence of nighttime lighting on predator-prey dynamics and the landscape of fear. Working with RSPB and endangered shorebirds, visual modelling, field & experimental work, check it out exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/…

Just a reminder that even if it seems harmless/helpful, feeding wildlife often causes more harm than good, sometimes as simply as negatively affecting their gut biome by feeding them too much sugar, or by habituating them to close proximity to ppl. Leave nature as you found it❤️

Universities contribute more than £250 BILLION to the UK economy. For every £1 of public money invested into UK universities, £14 of economic benefit is generated.  And yet the university sector is under threat. There’s a clear case for investment for growth that will benefit

The wonderfully talented Amber Cowans (Amber Cowans) and Albert Bonet Bigatà (Albert Bonet Bigatà) just submitted work from their time here as Statistical Ecology MSc students. I am so impressed with the researchers they are becoming! #StatisticalEcology doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

It's been a busy summer and autumn in the field. I've been managing lots of camera traps 📷 with Amber Cowans, wandering around the woods collecting carnivore scats 💩 and conducting small mammal surveys 🐭. Looking forward to getting my teeth into the data! #ecology

An intense but rewarding field season complete in the beautiful Cairngorms Connect! ✅ Now data crunching time 🤓📸🔊

IMPORTANT PLS SHARE. It's rumoured the English £9,250 tuition fee cap may be raised this pm for the 1st time in 8yrs, as University's finances are strained. As student finance misunderstandings abound, I've bashed out a few notes to help... 1. Higher tuition fees WON'T change

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

The only way not to despair is to build structures to take care of one another that don’t depend on the state. You can do it, but you have to start now and not on the internet.

Seeing lots of folks moving to the other side lately. You can also find me there and hoping to focus more on that platform instead:
