New in nature, we show that commonly applied approaches have failed to accurately represent global trends in biodiversity. So what's the problem and what's the solution? nature.com/articles/s4158…

Crop and #landscape #heterogeneity increase #biodiversity in agricultural landscapes: A global review and meta-analysis. 🐝🌱🌾Excellent work by Tharaka Emilio Pagani-Núñez Eben Goodale and colleagues

Another great ‘Synthesis’ paper Ecology Letters !

Just gave a guest lecture on Bayesian Causal Inference at Williams College, with slides and R code at doi.org/10.7910/DVN/JO… which is an introduction to our review paper royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Fabrizia Mealli Fan Li (I never taught any Bayesian Statistics at Berkeley.)

This is an interesting and useful trick. However, centering factors has some special restrictions on the estimated factorial effects when there are more than 3 factors (3 is the magic number there!). This motivates us to write this paper: academic.oup.com/biomet/article…

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay! A global study led by #NTUsg has shown that when there is variety in the #agricultural landscape, more diverse wildlife thrives on the #farm. This could be a more appealing and practical approach for farmers to contribute to #conservation than existing

On #WorldEnvironmentDay‌2024 we share a recent global review providing the strongest evidence to date that landscape diversification is key to restoring biodiversity 🐝🦋🐦🌱 Read more in our blog: uni-giessen.de/en/faculties/f… Tharaka Dr Eleanor Slade @eleslade.bsky.social Asian School Of The Environment Universität Gießen Emily Poppenborg Martin

PhD Tharaka does the math on why #dragonflies are such fascinating creatures! The work done by Tharaka and advisor Prof Dr Eleanor Slade @eleslade.bsky.social at the Tropical #ecology and #entomology lab is crucial to maintaining a healthy balance between humans and #nature #invertebrates #research

Watch Tharaka explain why #dragonflies are such important predators and #biocontrol agents in #urban #ecosystems & could help us control #mosquito populations & the #diseases they transmit. Read more here; besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… #TEELab #Entomology #insectappreciation

Our study led by Tharaka showing crop & landscape heterogeneity benefits #biodiveristy is featured in the The Straits Times.

I taught probabilistic programming yesterday, specifically the eternal battle against the demons of floating point arithmetic. I have an old (2023) 15min bonus lecture on the topic, for those who fancy battling monsters. Link to video (starts at 1h mark): youtu.be/mt9WKbQJrI4?li…

Grateful to have been part of this incredible team led by Carlos Martínez Núñez, demonstrating the key role of woody crops in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 🌍🌳 #TreeCrops #Sustainability #SDGs Asian School Of The Environment

Wildlife contributes to human well-being and values in visible and invisible ways that are under-recognized or dominated by conflict narratives. We review these critical contributions and what research and policy is needed to protect them:

My 4th PhD chapter is out! Flower-rich, less-cut road verges support urban butterflies🦋 authors.elsevier.com/a/1khHFcUG5aKVi teelabntu.wixsite.com/home/post/flow… doi.org/10.1016/j.land… 🙏Dr Eleanor Slade @eleslade.bsky.social Ben Woodcock Eben Goodale Carlos Martínez Núñez Anuj jain Emilio Pagani-Núñez JaniceSHLee Dr Friederike Gebert Asian School Of The Environment

Happy #EarthDay! A #Singapore study led by #NTUsg has shown that roadside greenery with a variety of flowering plants that are less frequently cut can boost butterfly numbers and their diversity. The greenery surrounding the verges has a similar positive effect on butterflies
