Ive written up the story of how masters student @BangorSENS Alex Carauna demonstrated a major EU restoration project failed to eradicate crayfish. Lack of post-project monitoring meant without his work this would have been lost from the conservation evidence base.

An inspiring post to start the day:

Before we started long recovery grazing we were all about adapting our edges to to be the best habitats possible
Riparian strips
Trees and scrub cages
Hedgerows everywhere
And field divisions that were terraced ponds and wet woodland strips
Now really rocking with birdsong

This is really important. Swifts (which are rapidly declining in the UK) shown to feed their young preferentially on cabbage stem flea beetles and pollen beetles - both pests in oilseed rape. First thought - what happens when the rape/canola is treated with neonicotinoids?

As an international scholar from Colombia 🇨🇴 , since my arrival for my PhD in the US back in 2011, I have battled with the uncertainty and stress of visa issues. I’m lucky I’ve been able to resolve them, but I have witnessed my peers and mentees struggle with this daily 😣

📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n

Very important point! A battle I've had myself!

In ecology, field data often has small sample sizes, due to the work required
If we find a signal, eg in a regression of x on y, everyone is happy
If we find none, reviewers etc blame the sample size rather than accept that there may be no relationship between x & y in reality

A fantastic new piece by Fred Pearce for @YaleE360 highlights yet another potential driver for increased natural rubber use, and therefore deforestation: electric vehicles wear through tyres quicker... e360.yale.edu/features/rubbe…

Yet more evidence, led by @MartaKozicka , that becoming more herbivorous is critical to leave space for nature and tackle climate change!
