The 'Avrona Nature Reserve has been polluted by crude oil twice - in 1975 and in 2014. @MalayP found that gerbils may trade-off foraging efficiency and toxicity, and prefer 1975-polluted soil, but that this may have physiological costs. New paper - bit.ly/3OpDM9t

Thank you @ReutVardi for leading this!
Explore how online data can advance behavioural ecology, uncover new phenomena in a rapidly changing world and more in our new MS in @PLOSBiology tinyurl.com/33azanye. Many thanks to all co-authors involved 🤩

Food availability and predictability changes post-fledgling movements of Egyptian #vultures - and it is especially important when the food is part of #conservation work.

In our latest paper in @EvolLetters, with @ChangHan @DRobledoRuiz @PacoGarciaGonzalez and @DingemanseLab, we used indirect genetic effects to study mate choice evolution in field crickets. If you happen to be @Evol_mtg on Saturday I'll talk more about it!

What do conservation practitioners and researchers need in order to help them find relevant information and tools?

And thank you @ZeAquaTech for doing such a wonderful job with translating the article!
Proud to have been part of a multi-agency experts committee on the effects of #noise pollution on the natural environment, along with @LehnardtYael.

PhD opportunity alert 🚨
I am looking for a movement ecologist that has experience with analyzing large sets of movement data to join my lab for a PhD project aimed at taking a multi-species approach and using large sets of animal movement data to improve conservation planning
Do you have a PhD in #acoustics or bioacoustics and you want to use that knowledge for conservation?
I have an open #postdoc position for an exciting new project on the impacts of anthropogenically-generated infrasound on wildlife. Come join our lab!

A new article in @Trends_Ecol_Evo, co-authored by SEI's @biljana_macura, explores how #AI and large language models can boost #EvidenceSynthesis in biodiversity conservation.
AI could address funding challenges & improve decision-making.

6/6 Our paper offers recommendations for conducting reviews using AI, encouraging appropriate scrutiny, transparency, and human-machine collaboration.
The number of AI tools that can be used to synthesize evidence in conservation is growing daily. How can we use these tools to improve systematic reviews and maps, and what are the dangers?
This is the product of a wonderful workshop made possible by @MonashUni and @bengurionu
How can we leverage artificial intelligence to improve evidence synthesis in conservation? What are the pros and cons? Check out our latest paper in @Trends_Ecol_Evo:

🧵Check out our preprint where we discuss the opportunities - as well as challenges - of AI to improve evidence synthesis in conservation science, with relevance also for the disciplines of ecology and evolution more broadly. 1/2
Expansion of settlements and agriculture in #desert habitats may initially seem to provide an oasis of resources in an otherwise stark environment
@krista_natasha shows that for the #ArabianBabbler, the reality is just the opposite

Our latest paper is out in @J_Exp_Biol showing that during heatwaves sublethal temperatures can yet be harmful if they inflict reproductive costs to insects. Great team effort @TomRatz01 and @ChechiTj! journals.biologists.com/jeb/…
