Two papers on links between rubber plantations and land use change for you today! 🌳🌳🌳 1/ in @ConLetters trends in rubber expansion, evidence for land use transitions to rubber, and what this means for rubber's inclusion in the EU Deforestation Law https://t.co/4N0Hk0dDNj

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:

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

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

[Lynn Dicks @LynnDicks]

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?

[Eleanor Warren-Thomas ewt.bsky.social @ElliWoTo]

Fixing someone's code for them is beyond gratifying! Problem? Solved. Truly delightful moments to be had on a Wednesday morning - actual completion of a tangible task.

[Eleanor Warren-Thomas ewt.bsky.social @ElliWoTo]

@MartaKozicka Congratulations Marta!

[Natalia Ocampo-Peñuela, PhD @birdmapper]

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 😣

[Eleanor Warren-Thomas ewt.bsky.social @ElliWoTo]

@yshennan I don't know, but sometimes I wish I could just sit on a train for a day to get some work done!

[Eleanor Warren-Thomas ewt.bsky.social @ElliWoTo]

@yshennan @kclgeography @icatalist Good luck with your new endeavours!

A question third year students posed and discussed just last week in a seminar! @BangorSNS

[Lynn Dicks @LynnDicks]

What can AI do for evidence synthesis efforts targeted at improving the effectiveness of biodiversity conservation? Watch this space! Computer scientists working directly with @ConservEvidence

[Eleanor Warren-Thomas ewt.bsky.social @ElliWoTo]

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

[James Bullock @JMBecologist]

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

[Julia Jones @juliapgjones]

If you are interested in conservation impact evaluation (broadly defined), looking at more social outcomes and want to work with me, this might be the scheme for you. 2 years post doc funding for ECRs not in the uk #idoimpact
