I'm super excited & proud to share our latest paper with you all, published today in @jappliedecology.bsky.social! The team put together a systematic map on the factors impacting the use of scientific evidence in biodiversity conservation decision making. (1/12) tinyurl.com/3c6x6vca

Factors influencing the use of scientific evidence in conservation practice and policy: Insights from a systematic map

Researchers should move from characterising factors impacting scientific evidence use to identifying and testing interventions to facilitate its use by conservation decision makers. Since these facto....

📢🦋Paper: butterfly trends over the past 166 years Rather than systematic declines, @tiff-ki.bsky.social & others found evidence of reshuffling in butterfly community composition; some species becoming more common, others staying stable & some declining. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Little long-term change in regional species richness of tropical butterflies over the past 166 years masks turnover in community composition | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

Most information on biodiversity changes is from the last few decades despite species responding to environmental changes for centuries. Longer-term information is needed to contextualize whether rece...

Really glad to see this exciting and fun work from my PhD out - huge thanks to @janehillyork.bsky.social @cmbeale.bsky.social and Dr Blanca Huertas! Next summer, going to go to Sulawesi to link two of these regions with present day surveys! 🦋

📢Publication alert! Research led by Dr Tiffany Ki integrates museum and citizen science records to reveal a 166 year story of tropical butterflies. Published this week by @royalsocietypublishing.org Find out more: bit.ly/3JgJJq3 @yorkuniversity.bsky.social @nhm-london.bsky.social

Really nice paper from @tiff-ki.bsky.social & co. shows no overall decline in butterfly species richness in Sulawesi over 166 yrs, but changing communities with endemics & forest specialists declining. Short-term trends unreliable measures of long term. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... 🌏

🎓🎉Huge congratulations to all our graduates! A fantastic achievement and a lovely day celebrating all your hard work with family and friends.

Check out this exciting full-funded 4 year PhD opportunity for UK applicants with @inesismartins.bsky.social and @cmbeale.bsky.social at York!
