The effects of urbanization on bird diversity (from eBird data) across scales in the U.S. appears to be largely due to changes in abundances of individuals and sampling effects. New paper from Corey Callaghan, Dan McGlinn https://mastodon.social/@danmcglinn and myself in Ecography. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

RT/ I am looking for TWO postdoctoral researchers to join the Conservation Ecology Research group UC Santa Cruz in UCSC Department of Environmental Studies in topics related to spatial ecology and conservation (one in CA and one in 🇨🇴/🌎) see details: ocamponata.wixsite.com/nocampopenuela… Deadline: Oct 31! #postdocposition 1/3

Please retweet and share widely! 🌎 Are you a birder and travel in search of #birds? 👀🐦‍⬛ We invite you to participate in a short (~10mins) online survey about how you select birdwatching destinations! 👇🏽 ucsantacruz.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_00…

Hello birding friends! Please consider helping our research by taking this survey (and sharing with any local birding clubs/listervs). Thanks in advance!

Happy to share our new preprint on intraspecific trait variation and functional diversity methods. An amazing work done with Stefano Mammola Carlos Perez Carmona Caio Graco-Roza, Gianluigi Ottaviani and Fancesco de Bello! ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie…

If any European-based individuals are interested in a #MSCA Global Postdoctoral Fellowship please reach out. I'd be keen to help as a host here in Florida for anything related to global change ecology, macroecology, citizen science, urban ecology, etc.

Absolute vs. relative abundance: which is more appropriate for biodiversity monitoring? Here we discuss pros and cons of these different families of abundance estimates tinyurl.com/zw5p5yjx Corey Callaghan Rebecca (Becks) Spake D Bowler

Check out our paper here for some thoughts on abundance estimation! Great team effort. 🙌

A UF IFAS Wildlife study led by Corey Callaghan published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution advocates for making absolute abundance the standard when monitoring biodiversity in the field. bit.ly/3xaMz9W
