Hi new followers! I am a conservation biologist/quantitative ecologist studying birds across North America. I was recently asked what ‘one sky’ means to me & wanted to share my response below since it serves as my daily motivation. Excited to learn about your research too!

The @ZipkinLab is taking #robinhood approach to #modeling: getting info from data-rich species to inform conservation of data-poor species. In a new study at @AnimalEcology, they explore how integrated community models help us understand rare or elusive species

The @DefraGovUK and England Wild Bird Indicators, that I have helped create @_BTO, have been published today 🥳 The results aren't great, but I have mixed emotions of seeing our hard work published using fantastic citizen science data @BBS_birds @WeBS_UK @ukrbbp @Natures_Voice 🐦

Yes, long-distance power lines can kill birds.
But they're a hell of a lot better for the avian world than climate change.
New report from @audubonsociety calls for a massive transmission buildout to support solar and wind farms. My story for @latimes: latimes.com/environment/news…

We @audubonsociety developed a new framework to translate hemisphere scaled processes, like bird #Migration, into local conservation actions.
People need to be involved in every step. A fancy map can only do much. Local capacity and interest is key!

The Northern Lights were visible from the University of Michigan Biological Station along Douglas Lake, just south of the Mackinac Bridge, overnight (July 22, 2023). Watch the @UMBS time lapse to see the colorful sky dance. #northernlights #auroraborealis

Some birds are more vulnerable to climate change, and some are more vulnerable to habitat loss. Then there are the particularly vulnerable that are getting squeezed hard by both. newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
