If you're attending #WBF2026, stop by our session on Wednesday, where we'll discuss holistic forest management solutions that put forward biodiversity conservation. See you there 👋

Michael Schaepman on #WBF2026 organisation: "WFB2026 organisation did not need a single black limusine!"

Congratulations to @gabdans.bsky.social for an excellent PhD defense and overall thesis! It was a pleasure to co-supervise @gabdans.bsky.social and I hope we can keep collaborating for years to come! 👏👏👏👏

New preprint by @gabdans.bsky.social, which is also the last chapter of an absolutely impeccable body of doctoral work.

Information about species interactions is very scarce! In a new preprint, @gabdans.bsky.social shows that the methodology that enables biodiversity monitoring and reporting also supports the detection of species interactions, leading to multi-use monitoring. epic-biodiversity.org/blog/2026/05...

I don't have to teach, but I still feel this most days since I returned back to work after my first maternity leave.

I wrote this in a week where it felt like professoring while parenting (and equally, parenting while professoring) was impossible. This feeling ebbs and flows. Seems like Mothers Day is as good a time as any to share, maybe it will help someone else feel less alone. The More Paradox 1/8

This editorial is giving me the creeps: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... AI generated figs with poor "author curation" and many with paragraphs of "apparent" substance, that when read carefully are completely superficial.

I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!" but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question

Yes, there's is a LOT of uncertainty, but we've come far in our knowledge about EINs and have far more data than before. The time is NOW tinyurl.com/v3xehmkz

Grant-funded labs are incentivized to admit students who already know how to do research to serve as cheap labor. That puts students who’ve had the most access and resources at a major advantage. This shapes admissions practices more than people are willing to admit but yelling about testing is easy
