We are recruiting several PhD students. If you are interested in conservation conflicts, population ecology, quantitative ecology, or biodiversity, check these projects out (links in the thread, feel free to reach out):

I'm hiring a postdoc to work with myself, Dr Jim Lyons and the entire NOAA Firebird team on the adaptive management part of our larger project focused on the impacts of prescribed fire on Gulf Coast wetlands Accepting applications until Feb 15th blogs.illinois.edu/view/7426/19...

This looks handy! Anyone out there willing to share examples of automated CV updating?

🚨 Since the rorcid R package from @ropensci.org has been archived and since my CV is rendered fetching info from ORCiD (cause I’m lazy), I wrote a new R package: 📦 github.com/lorenzoFabbr... #rstat

Some great PhD opportunities in conservation science/ ecology here.

New perspective out today in @jappliedecology.bsky.social. We reflect on co-producing evidence in an effort to bridge the implementation gap, for evidence based, impact focused predator control. What worked, what didn't and where barriers to implimentation still remain. You can't win them all... 🧪

Congrats to @ambercowans.bsky.social and @abonetb.bsky.social on this important contribution. It was an absolute pleasure watching you both operate, and terrific to see this work from your Stats Ecology MSc out! 💯

Sample size considerations for species co‐occurrence models

Multispecies occupancy models are widely applied to infer interactions in the occurrence of different species, but convergence and estimation issues under realistic sample sizes are common. We conduc...

A surprisingly effective way to save the capercaillie: keep its predators well-fed – new research

Evidence suggests this alternative to culling the bird’s predators is effective.

🚨 New publication 📝 Out today in the royal society proceedings B. We find that diversionary feeding boosts productivity of cappercaille from 0.82 to 1.90. Indicating that this impact based method can effectively reduce the influence of predation. Read all about it here: shorturl.at/QRb76
