🚨New paper - Oil palm🌴, spiders🕷️, Liberia🇱🇷
We assessed how traditional and industrial approaches to oil palm cultivation affect spider biodiversity, web-building, and prey capture (Liberia).

Our new paper is out! 🚨
We systematically mapped research on oil palm in Africa and present the Sustainable Oil Palm in West Africa (SOPWA) Project: a large-scale field-based study occurring in Liberia.

A wonderfully busy day volunteering at @RoyEntSoc’s stunning #RESGarden at #RHSChelsea, chatting to gardeners about how we can make outdoor spaces a haven for insects.
You can now show the garden some love by voting for it in the People’s Choice Award: bbc.co.uk/programmes/article…

Are wildlife documentaries showing us the ‘real’ natural world? recent paper in People and Nature led by @k_howlett @EdgarCTurner doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10431 cam.ac.uk/stories/are-wildli…
Insect Ecology Group retweeted
Are wildlife documentaries too focused on mammals and birds? 🐘🐦
New @CamZoology research has found that nature documentaries are portraying a biased view of the natural world, and invertebrates aren't getting enough attention...

interesting talk @Andrew_Bladon about “How HOT is a butterfly” we know about managing habitats but we don’t know enough about managing them as “thermal habitats”

I'm SO EXCITED to be part of this treeriffic programme🌳🤓💚
I really think silvoarable farming has so much potential, incl for biodiversity, mitigating climate change & providing resilience to it
Big thanks to the farmers that inspired this @AndyBason @Farm3Dwithtrees @atmahon
📢Announcing our nine new UK Treescapes fellows!📢
Funded by @NERCscience and @DefraGovUK, these fellows are all looking to answer some of the remaining key questions surrounding Treescape Expansion in the UK
