Animals don’t just live in their environmentsβ€”they transform them. And in doing so, they may also shape their own evolutionary trajectories. Our new paper in Trends in Ecology & Evolution introduces a framework for zoogeochemical niche construction. A thread πŸ‘‡

Stories and science, oh my! Thanks @AIBSbiology for hosting @GAdamMeyer and I to chat about our new paper in BioScience! We talk about narratives in science and provide tools for creative storytelling in ecology and conservation. Have a listen!

We often lean on heroes and villains to make sense of the worldβ€”but nature rarely fits that mold. Our paper in @AIBSbiology looks at the hero-villain trope in ecology & conservation, and offers ways to tell richer, more honest stories. @GAdamMeyer doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biaf0…

I’m delighted to be shortlisted for a prize that honors such an impactful ecologist! This was a super fun paper I did with another ECR, @ChrisMAHirst and we loved getting to show the power of using open-source, government-sponsored data from @NatureScot. Thanks @AER_ESE_BES!
We're pleased to announce our shortlist for the 2024 Georgina Mace Prize! Our award for early career researchers πŸ† See the full list below! πŸ‘‡ buff.ly/v5l8gb4

Dr. @KristyFerraro, one of the newest recipients of the prestigious Banting Post-doctoral Fellowship, joined @humans_MUNBIOL this fall! She plans to integrate field ecology and philosophy to address climate change and biodiversity loss. 🫎 Read more here: gazette.mun.ca/research/moos…

Thanks for the feature @ScotlandTBP! @ChrisMAHirst
Researchers suggest two solutions for the "alarming" loss of key nutrients from our uplands due to deer carcass removal... 1) Leave culled deer carcasses on the hill 🦌 2) Allow more deer to die naturally, perhaps aided by reintroduction of natural predators. 🐾 Read more: britishecologicalsociety.org… Interested in the potential role to be played by one such predator: the lynx?

Check out @ChrisMAHirst’s and my new study highlighting the landscape level impacts of removing deer carcasses from Scottish landscapes with @AER_ESE_BES @BritishEcolSoc Featured in @TheScotsman!
Deer culls in Scotland may be having unintended environmental consequences through stripping habitats of nutrients when carcasses are removed. Findings from new research by @KristyFerraro & @ChrisMAHirst in @TheScotsman πŸ—žοΈ @AER_ESE_BES @EdinburghUni scotsman.com/hays-way/why-cu…

New paper from this newly minted doctor! It seems everyone is excited about the potential of Rewilding, and we are, too! So, we dove into all the complex contextual dependencies that matter when Rewilding for climate change. (1/3) @PaN_BES doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10609
