For island biology enthusiasts, the news has just broken that a Society for Island Biology board has been elected and the next (July 2022) conference will be in Wellington, New Zealand. #islandbiology2019 in La Réunion is a tough act to follow. Kevin C. Burns

Thoughtful reflections on interpreting results, by Brian McGill Dynamic Ecology. I would also question whether biomass or trophic level affect our interpretation: is the loss of one condor equivalent to the loss of one sparrow? It depends, I suppose.

Beautiful day for it here at Nottingham, too. Hoping for a good turnout for #ClimateStrike

At the climate action at Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN a fun poem being read by Katherine Shingler at the event organised by University of Nottingham UCU branch #ClimateStrike #climatestrikeuon

While Practical Action works among the world's poorest to combat poverty and reduce environmental impacts, George Monbiot puts forward a perspective on the other end of the wealth scale in The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The global climate strike is serious! #ClimateStrike

Could have a good point there...

It would be rude not to retweet this! Laura's heading off soon to spend some time at Oak Ridge Lab, probably going from Toronto to Tennessee by road! Hitting the ground running.

Ah, the vagaries of peer review. This somehow brings to mind the President of the Linnaean Society stating in his review of the year 1858 that the year had not included 'any of those striking discoveries which at once revolutionise the department of science'...

Exciting, fully funded studentship on offer that combines the Caribbean lionfish invasion with fish-catching prototype robots. See Sal's tweet for more, and project info coming soon at envision-dtp.org/projects/ Nottingham Geography

We are very happy to present WISE! A virtual conference to discuss diversity and equity in ecology, to be held on November 4th-6th, 2020 #WISEmeeting #HelloWorld 😊 #WomenInScience

Good presentations and interesting discussion at #humboldtday on #WomenInBiogeography. Audience was only ~20% male. Wonder to what extent that is to do with men feeling uncomfortable 'barging in' to such events vs not caring about the issues as much as women?

Nearly hot off the press, still! Great to be part of the core team for this paper led by Francesco Sabatini and sPlot - iDiv. nature.com/articles/s4146…. Also see this press release about it. nottingham.ac.uk/news/research-… UoNGeogResearch Franziska Schrodt

Important new World Economic Forum briefing paper bit.ly/3Uggfcv, arguing that #biodiversitycredits markets can unlock financing for #naturepositiveoutcomes #financing4nature. Nice to see featured the method I'm working on with The Wallacea Trust and Plan Vivo Foundation (thanks Natural Environment Research Council).
