cool paper reframing what we mean by a "niche" in ecology... it all comes back to demography 🌱

📜New Paper📜@ecography.bsky.social Species distributions aren’t just about where species occur, but how survival, reproduction and development vary across environments. We formalise the Demographic Niche Concept to link niche theory and demography. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Our very own @biolliegist.bsky.social and @erolafenollosa.bsky.social will be will be part of this event next week. It’s always timely and important to discuss gender biases in quantitative ecology 🌈📊 @biology.ox.ac.uk #GenderBiasInScience #QuantitativeEcology

Mistletoe research - The Tree Council

More than just a symbol of Christmas Mistletoe has an air of Christmas magic, but it is, in fact, a parasite with a fascinating relationship with trees. European mistletoe (Viscum album) grows in gre...

Sneak peak number 2 :) Please find a minute to head on over to YouTube and subscribe. THANK YOU! www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Y...

Botany valentine. Another from years past. New one on Monday!

Just over a month left to record the #mistletoe in your area via the MistleGO survey! Find out more here: treecouncil.org.uk/science-and-...

Mistletoe isn't particularly common in North Lincolnshire, but I'm lucky to have a site not far from home. I don't remember ever seeing it in an Alder before; I'm not sure how unusual this host is. I've submitted it via the MistleGo app - I hope @biolliegist.bsky.social will be pleased!

We've now got the green light to revamp this booklet and we're looking for volunteers to write/peer review sections. Express your interest here: forms.gle/ZYFLPaC3k2RF.... We want to feature diverse ECR writers from across the world. Women of colour are especially encouraged!

In the simpler days of 2015/16 we wrote the BES Guide to Reproducible Code: www.britishecologicalsociety.org/wp-content/u.... It’s time for a refresh! Would you like to help? I’m looking for people to review the existing booklet by 5th December.

'Quantitative Ecology' means different things to different people, but one thing's for sure: we can't avoid using numbers in ecological research. Complete our survey today to let us know what it means to you, and help us tailor our resources and events to our members' needs. 📋 shorturl.at/n6jRd

One Health Needs Ecology!! “There needs to be more emphasis on the ecological component of One Health as we consider the problems of biodiversity loss, climate extremes, habitat fragmentation, and emerging disease” www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Such a fun meeting! If you’re an ecologist that uses stats/other quantitative methods, let us know how we can support you! 🔢💯

Spent the morning at OUMNH trying to convince Year 9s that #mistletoe is not just for Christmas - thank you for the opportunity @morethanadodo.bsky.social ! 🎄🌱🧪

Very excited to be presenting preliminary results of my master's research with @salgoteam.bsky.social at #BES2024! Find me at the poster session on Weds (A17.10) to chat about life stage-dependent plant competition and quantitative modelling of its impact on community dynamics and coexistence 🌿📈

Meet us for our joint social with the BES Teaching & Learning Group at next week's BES Annual Meeting for food, fun and new faces! We'll be at the Pump House at 7.15pm on Wed, just 10 mins from the conference venue. Make sure to bring along your quizzing brains! 🧠 maps.app.goo.gl/22sq5M286w3e...
