Nature research paper: Thresholds for adding degraded tropical forest to the conservation estate https://t.co/hLmHeXLqSZ

[Joe Tobias @ja_tobias]

Huge study led by Rob Ewers @imperialcollege showing how impacts of forest logging vary across taxa, and identifying thresholds of timber extraction for protection/restoration of tropical biodiversity https://t.co/EmmfdACouT - with accompanying News&Views https://t.co/9Rf0r5HsX3

Thanks to all for this and for forthcoming collaborations @JonathanParrett,@seb_chmielewski, @eyaydogdu,@MateuszKonczal, @JacekRadwan, and many others.@PSB_VIB

[Mateusz Konczal @MateuszKonczal]

Our paper in @NatureEcoEvo shows that sexually selected trait facilities removal of deleterious mutations genome-wide

Terrific work by all coauthor, especially @JonathanParrett @JacekRadwan

Sexually selected trait captures genetic variation and sexual selection purges mutation load.

@JoeWilliamson93 @OwenTLewis @tommaso_jucker @London_NERC_DTP @Liyuen93 @red_termite @SEARRP Interesting Joe! I was wondering if you have also looked at the impact of variation in temperature at these locations? Presumably this covaries with mean temperature though. Do you have any ideas to tease these apart?

[Jonathan Parrett @JonathanParrett]

Thank you too, I love spending time in Sabah and talking/looking dung beetles......but not for a week please!

[Dr Eleanor Slade @eleslade.bsky.social @EleSlade]

Huge thank you to @JonathanParrett who spent the last 4 months iding thousands upon thousands of @HMTF_LOMBOK @SAFE_Project #dungbeetles, training @SEARRP RAs & PhD students @Liyuen93 @JoeWilliamson93, & making an amazing key and guide to the dung beetles of Sabah. Terima kasih!

#dungbeetle identification and sample sorting training for our star @HMTF_LOMBOK @SEARRP RAs. First time using a key and they rocked it! 27 samples, over 40 species & ~3000 individuals! #dungbeetlesofsabah #thisismyRA #newguidecomingsoon #knowledgeexchange @JonathanParrett

[Jonathan Parrett @JonathanParrett]

Still no O.negrobscurior despite checking ~1000 O.cervicapra..... #forestspecies

[Dr Eleanor Slade @eleslade.bsky.social @EleSlade]

Enjoying (well mostly!) a couple of days sorting #dungbeetles from @HMTF_LOMBOK @SAFE_Project with @JonathanParrett #longtermdatsets #effectsoflogging #fragmentation #howmanyCatharsius #whatalotofbeetles

[Jonathan Parrett @JonathanParrett]

@EllisJGLangley @Breaking911 That is terrifying!!

[Jonathan Parrett @JonathanParrett]

@RobKnell1 @QM_SBCS Like x2!!!

[Jonathan Parrett @JonathanParrett]

@Filiperativo @EleSlade @OxZooDept Different trap designs are definitely confounding though.......would be very interested to hear about if you do trial it though. DM for details 🤙

[Jonathan Parrett @JonathanParrett]

@Filiperativo @EleSlade @OxZooDept We didn’t test that explicitly but about 4m up very different species! Something we were thinking we be good to test out to 😎

[Jonathan Parrett @JonathanParrett]

@Filiperativo @EleSlade @OxZooDept Really species specific, out of ~50 individuals only 2 are those regularly found in ‘normal’ pitfall traps

[Jonathan Parrett @JonathanParrett]

@RobKnell1 @QM_SBCS VW trucks!!!

[Jonathan Parrett @JonathanParrett]

@Filiperativo @EleSlade @OxZooDept Yes, we were trialling a few designs. Managed to catch a good amount of the arboreal beetles after a bit of trial and error!!

[Jonathan Parrett @JonathanParrett]

The arboreal traps are working pretty well!!

[Dr Eleanor Slade @eleslade.bsky.social @EleSlade]

Human #dung baited trap anyone? @OxZooDept students discover the fun of trapping for #dungbeetles! #DanumValley #tropicalforest #ecology #fieldcourse
