First paper of my PhD is out in the Journal of Animal Ecology🦫🦇! In Swiss streams, beaver-engineered ponds hosted more bats: Habitat structure (standing deadwood, canopy heterogeneity) + more prey explain the boost. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Our paper led by Thiago Gonçalves-Souza is out. Habitat fragmentation and habitat loss reduce biodiversity. @Nate_J_Sanders @Jon_Chase03
Results from 37 studies distributed worldwide, on plants and animals, comparing continuous and fragmented landscapes.

When the same data tells a different story…
You’d think analyzing the same dataset would lead to the same conclusions, but our NEW study shows otherwise. Different methods - different answers!
Why? It's complicated...

We recorded great declines in wintering Black headed gulls in Switzerland probably linked to avian flue - send me a message if you are interested to look at our data!

New paper out in Biological Reviews! We explored how #plastic impacts #ecological processes. A fantastic result of collaboration among #early-career freshwater scientists in the @PhytoPlastic project!

1. This summer I've been thinking a lot about "cognitive load" which is term that has multiple definitions but for me means something like "the amount of processing, analysing, thinking, & deciding I can do in a day before my brain stops working" here's a short thread about that

Please repost: I am hiring a doctoral student in nature conservation, located in the French nature reserve Petite Camargue Alsacienne.

Trees live so long, and reproduce so slowly, that forests have no hope of adapting to the speed of climate change
I find it almost impossible to imagine how there could still be forests in a 3-degree world, and nothing scares me more
First it was the strange hue of the trees now it’s a real life nightmare.
This is very hard to take, it must be shared because none of us can escape this.
A catastrophe like we’ve never known is unfolding & exploding at an incredible rate. 🧵

The Ohio Mushroom DNA Lab is offering free DNA barcoding for any wild collected fungus, found anywhere in the world.
They need to be dried and packaged in ziplock snack sized bags, labeled with the iNaturalist observation #

In den letzten 150 Jahren wurden in der Schweiz viele Fliessgewässer begradigt und verbaut. Das Video zeigt, warum dies für viele Lebewesen eine Einschränkung des Lebensraums bedeutete und wie es heute aussieht.
