We estimate costs of buying land for conservation, as opposed to agriculture, for example. We show that those are not one and the same, and that the difference matters for conservation planning.

A must read for those interested in conservation planning: https://t.co/PgqfEjqOOL

We can prioritize species protection, but we must consider the very real constraints of the cost of land!

Our new study shows more species can be saved if policy-makers and private donors allow even a little more flexibility in where conservation funds can be spent (https://t.co/3EBkujFwMr, Armsworth et al.) @BDilkina @Christoph_Nolte

I'm realizing I have a link that provides free access for 50 days - here it is, for whoever might be interested :)

Money doesn't grow on trees, even in conservation areas!💰🌳Le Bouille, Fargione, and Armsworth investigate costs associated with managing protected areas in their recent article, available at https://t.co/VU5uvLRPdw 🌿

Congrats Jacob!!

[Orou Gaoue @ogaoue]

Congrats to @JMoutouama for an excellent exit seminar to @UTK_EEB on the ecological drivers of range limitation in species. His work directly contributed to address the tropical bias in ecology that we always talk about. My lab was lucky to have such a brilliant student for 4 yrs

In our new paper, we show 1 cat is equivalent to 77 rats predating on a Christmas Island bird (CI of 30 - 174). We argue that "cat equivalence" is a useful concept, especially when considering possible adverse effects of mesopredator release-led by M Plein https://t.co/Wd3YzToSkx

🚨 Whoa!!!! White house just made all publications paid for with federal dollars free + #OpenAccess immediately with no embargo! https://t.co/xWDCEk7dsu

Really great (remote!) postdoc opportunity to with the amazing Varsha Vijay and conservation international: https://t.co/47IrWNpwC2

[Amanda Hyman, Ph.D. @amandaahyman]

New paper with @dlebouille @Gengping_ & P. Armsworth is out - this paper really dives into the decisions that highlight the debate about protecting land under immediate threat vs. protecting future habitat. #Conservation #ConSocSci

When is the best time to acquire protected areas (PA)? Conservation entities prefer making PA acquisitions in different market conditions and some of them are better than others in different market regimes. Read more on my first peer-reviewed paper!

There a lot more to do before we understand conservation costs as well as we should, but this is one more step in that direction, thanks to data from TNC @nature_org

[Diane Le Bouille @dlebouille]

It is alive!
Our paper on looking into management costs of protected areas, how they vary through space and time, what drives them, how they relate to ecological gains and what it means for conservation funding.

📢NEW BLOG POST📢

Money might not grow on trees, but have you ever wondered how much it costs to plant them?

This week @Tom_B_White discusses his new paper on reporting the costs of conservation actions.

[UTK EEB @UTK_EEB]

EEB409: Perspectives in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology still has room; satisfies WC gen ed.

Discussion topics will include subjects as varied as climate change & cryptocurrency/NFTs, shared landscapes and competing uses in conservation, diet choices and their impact, and more!

Exciting REU opportunity: Data+Computing=Discovery @IACSComputes in @stonybrooku! Deadline is at the end of this month. Our lab is a part of the great lineup of mentors in the program.
Here's the complete list with the project descriptions https://t.co/EUE2NHj6UV. (1/2)

Our lab with many others @UTK_EEB are recruiting new graduate students for next fall: https://t.co/SAU9qyqmK7 You can check out what the Armsworth Lab does here: https://t.co/XCVnMXrA7n

New in @Trends_Ecol_Evo Experiments are the gold standard for causal inference but are hard to do. The ideal experiemnt is rarely possible. What happens then for causal inference? We review 4 common violations of assumptions needed for causal inference in expts & solutions. 1/n

[National Wildlife Federation @NWF]

Today marks 5 years since the Northeast Canyons & Seamounts was designated a #NationalMonument.

61 orgs have written a letter to @POTUS urging him to immediately restore ALL protections to the Atlantic's only #MarineMonument.
