@BBestelm Thanks for this contribution to the journal! 👏

[Brandon Bestelmeyer @BBestelm]

A long-term, operational-scale, true experiment on woody plant removal treatment effects revealed limits to grassland restoration that direct future investments https://t.co/vihE3R1JxI

New research on genetic diversity & wildlife management in the journal ⬇️

[Ben-Gurion University of the Negev @bengurionu]

A simple change in the landscape can help protect wildlife.
A new BGU study found that adding water sources in the Negev helped reshape mating opportunities among Asiatic wild asses and improved indicators of genetic diversity, offering conservation managers a non-invasive tool

[AGU (American Geophysical Union) @theAGU]

Ecological forecasting is crucial for proactive environmental management and policymaking.🏛️

This #EarthDay2026, be sure to check out our joint special collection with @ESA_org titled ‘Ecological Forecasting in the Earth System.’

[ESA Bulletin @ESABulletin]

Our latest cover tells a quiet but powerful story: a donkey pausing beside a pocket of recovering land. This Photo Gallery pic shows how grazing exclusions can turn degraded land into vital habitat for birds when resources are scarce

What can wildfires teach us about biodiversity?

#USask alumni Dr. Aaron Bell shares how the characteristics of wildfires help promote biodiversity by creating different habitats for a variety of species post-burn. https://t.co/MbvptN7NRM

[Ecological Society @ESA_org]

Did you know? Our special journal collection with @theAGU, Ecological Forecasting in the Earth System, has published its first several papers: https://t.co/ZFGeQoe5G7

And is still accepting submissions! https://t.co/8gluWWRI8f

[Ecological Applications @ESAApplications]

@lusseau Thanks for the kind words! We're deeply grateful for our editors and reviewers, who make it all possible 🫶

[David Lusseau @lusseau]

The publishing system is under a lot of strain as we all know. We often complain from the author side, but it is also not easy to handle from the editorial side. So I wanted to give a big #thankyou to @ESAApplications editorial team for maintaining a very human & humane process!

[Ecological Applications @ESAApplications]

On our April issue cover: a river full of returning sockeye salmon—a key resource for ecosystems supporting stream‑dwelling rainbow trout. A recent study uses 35 yrs of data to tease apart the drivers shaping trout population dynamics
