On May 11th, the @bes-rewildinggroup.bsky.social will host policy and advocacy lead Charlotte Maddix @cwmaddix.bsky.social from @rewildingbritain.org.uk, speaking about a rewilding guide for community groups 🦫🌳🦬 Register for the webinar here: www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content/rewi...

Early 🎄🎁: TWO interdisciplinary, funded PhDs! One w me as lead - ecosystem & human health outcomes of Biodiversity Net Gain w @northwildlife.bsky.social & Dr Auriba Raza @glasgow.ac.uk. Other led by Dr Katrin Prager @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social looking at nature markets for small-scale organic growers

🚨Fun PhD! 🚨 Fieldwork in UK botanical hotspot - Upper Teesdale - cool tech (telemetry, drones, LiDAR) & microclimate modelling to understand land-use*climate interactions. With me & Sean Twiss @durham.ac.uk, Sarah Greenwood @stir.ac.uk & CASE partner @naturalengland.bsky.social Link: rb.gy/vex2tm

This is a truly insane (in a good way!) and much needed piece of work. Well done @krystofchytry.bsky.social et al.!

How to not be swamped by your microclimate data? The rise of microclimate data may have opened Pandora’s box. Gone are the days of simple bioclimatic variables — now heads spin trying to summarize these timeseries. A much-needed paper by @krystofchytry.bsky.social: 🔗 the3dlab.org/2025/11/11/h...

10 days left to apply for this postdoc with Andy Suggitt at @northumbriauni.bsky.social, plus @tnewbold31.bsky.social at UCL & myself @durham.ac.uk! Integrating #microclimate into global #biodiversity models to understand climate*land-use interactions 🌍🌡️🌳 work4.northumbria.ac.uk#en/sites/CX_...

everything is terrible but MY FAVORITE CONFERENCE IS BACK Species on the Move - Sun Moon Lake - Taiwan - April 20-24, 2026 mark your calendars!!! #speciesonthemove #speciesonthemove2026

An opportunity not to be missed! The indomitable @thenaturedave.bsky.social advertising a fully funded 5-year PhD and 2-year postdoc (soon) at Rutgers in the US. I loved my time living in NJ & this is a chance to join what will no doubt be a fearsomely amazing lab. Apply or share!

Dave Klinges@thenaturedave.bsky.social · 12mo ago

(Plz share) We're hiring! 5-year PhD student to join our new lab at Rutgers University. Broadly, exploring how climate change impacts terrestrial species, ecosystems and biodiversity – compute, field, or lab! See here: ecoclimateglobal.org/join/ (hiring a 2-yr postdoc too, more news on that soon)

New for all microclimate enthusiasts! A step-by-step workflow to build your own sensor network - with awesome R code for site selection + tips on engagement, fieldwork & outreach. Led with @thenaturedave.bsky.social and @rebeccasenior.bsky.social 🔗 the3dlab.org/2025/08/16/h...

How to set up your own microclimate network

Back in 2021, we had an important thought: maybe we should start treating microclimate the same way we treat macroclimate. Weather and climate are monitored by national governments through organize…

Folks who run undergraduate ecology field courses in the UK - where do you go? I know the @fieldstudiesc.bsky.social centres are popular. Any others? (Ideally in N England or Scotland).

Thrilled to share this OA paper (with code!) for designing #microclimate sensor networks.

Just got the final proofs of my book💓 Available on Amazon worldwide next week Very exciting! I’ve packed into it everything I’ve learned about writing and publishing over the past 20 years I really hope it helps many jump over the writing and publishing barriers💪

That's a wrap! Thank you to the wonderful attendees of our inaugural @bes-rewildinggroup.bsky.social field event with @northwildlife.bsky.social and with support from @britishecologicalsociety.org . I have learnt loads & met many excellent people working on #rewilding in the region! 👍🌱

Last talk of the #ExploringTheScienceOfRewilding @bes-rewildinggroup.bsky.social event by Rosie McCallum @newcastleuni.bsky.social & @northwildlife.bsky.social talking about #BNG in the North East @britishecologicalsociety.org

After great intro on drones by @camgoodhead.bsky.social @durham-university.bsky.social & Graham Holyoak from @northwildlife.bsky.social, now onto Duncan Hutt to talk about the Rothbury Estate at our #ExploringTheScienceOfRewilding @bes-rewildinggroup.bsky.social event @britishecologicalsociety.org

Now moving onto the @northwildlife.bsky.social #rewilding project at West Chevington, former open cast coal mine @bes-rewildinggroup.bsky.social @britishecologicalsociety.org

Next up on #ExploringTheScienceOfRewilding -@sahranhiggins.bsky.social @rewildingbritain.org.uk . Great talk about the RB monitoring framework and early work from pilot studies. @bes-rewildinggroup.bsky.social @britishecologicalsociety.org @northwildlife.bsky.social

Tom Jameson from @forestresearchuk.bsky.social kicks off our #ExploringTheScienceOfRewilding @britishecologicalsociety.org event, organised by @bes-rewildinggroup.bsky.social & @northwildlife.bsky.social. Exciting couple of days coming up!

I FOUND IT. I once read a great line about how weather station data are only useful for things living on the weather station. I wanted to cite it but could never remember the damn paper! By sheer luck, it found me. From @mikekaspari.bsky.social in @globalchangebio.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2jyd4z72

Absolute pleasure to contribute to this @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social paper out yesterday, cooked up at the Species on the Move (SOTM) Conference in 2023. Takeaway: species on the move under climate change can move along many gradients and dimensions, at multiple scales! doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

Reimagining species on the move across space and time

Climate change is already leaving a broad footprint of impacts on biodiversity, from an individual caterpillar emerging earlier in spring to dominant plant communities migrating poleward. Despite the ...

Last year I published a paper showing how many threatened species are lacking documented conservation actions. New paper just out and led by @ashsimkins.bsky.social shows that when conservation interventions *are* in place, it works!

Ash Simkins@ashsimkins.bsky.social · last yr.

*Positive news* Despite global declines in biodiversity, we find conservation has driven improvements in >100 species. This suggests with greater resource allocation to more species, conservation can halt and reverse biodiversity loss! First PhD paper: doi.org/10.1371/jour...
