Listen to series 5 episode 2 of the #meliorapodcast for the #SRI at #UoS. @skemp42.bsky.social was joined by @vickydominguez.bsky.social and Sien Van Der Plank, to discuss how an invasive species of seaweed is affected global coastal communities.

I am excited to announce that we are advertising a summer school in model-based multivariate analysis for ecologists. It will take place in Hjerkinn, Norway from 21-25 July.

More information can be found at bertv.folk.ntnu.no/index.html and in this 🧵.

Modelling the rise of invasive lionfish in the Mediterranean - Marine Biology The spread of the Indo-Pacific lionfish Pterois miles into the Atlantic Ocean represents a well-known example of a successful invasion. Lionfish have successfully invaded the Atlantic, aided by biolog...

New Publication 🚨
Our study on the invasive #lionfish predicts its alarming spread across the #Mediterranean under future climate scenarios 🌍🐟

This work highlights the urgent need for management to protect #biodiversity and local economies.

We will do! 😊 Spoke with Greta and I will be sending email soon with good news!!! Xxx

Great introductory talk to time lags by @jmjtravis.bsky.social

Creating simple predictive models in ecology, conservation and environmental policy based on Bayesian belief networks Predictive models are often complex to produce and interpret, yet can offer valuable insights for management, conservation and policy-making. Here we introduce a new modelling tool (the R package ‘BBN...

Are you looking to #model complex systems? Our latest research presents the 'BBNet' #R package, a user-friendly tool to create and analyse Bayesian belief networks for #ecology, #conservation, environmental #policy (and beyond!).

What a workshop we had yesterday at the @britishecolsoc.bsky.social #BES2024, with many interesting models built by the participants!! Squirrel behaviours, animal vaccinations, aquatic foodwebs... and more!💜

Thank you everyone and we really hope it was useful 😊

Atlantic salmon need saving, but current conservation measures could do more harm than good There is no scientific reason to believe that salmon will benefit from the installation of large, engineered wood structures across rivers.

As Atlantic salmon populations decline, everyone wants to ensure a sustainable future for the species. However, are we correctly identifying & managing population bottlenecks, & are the things we do for management genuinely making a positive difference 🧪 theconversation.com/atlantic-sal...

Functional R code is rare in species distribution and abundance papers Analytic reproducibility is important for scientific credibility in ecology, but the extent to which scientific literature meets this criterion is not well understood. We surveyed 497 papers publishe....

Not surprising sadly, but still oof: Functional R code is rare in species distribution and abundance papers esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I'm looking for Masters students to join my lab in Fall 2025! Work could focus on either field-based studies of plant community ecology and trait-based ecology and/or computational work (on any taxa with data) focusing on questions in community ecology or macroecology.

An infographic detailing facts about the impacts of invasive alien species from the IPBES Invasive Alien Species Report. The infographic also depicts images of various different invasive alien species such as the grey squirrel, alexandrine parakeet and red fox.

Invasive alien species are a threat to #nature, nature’s contributions to people, and good quality of life.

'A beautiful thing': Klamath River salmon are spotted far upstream in Oregon after dam removal The removal of dams on the Klamath River has enabled salmon to swim far upstream to spawn. Wildlife officials have found salmon upstream in Oregon.

What an inspiring rewilding success story. It took only two months for salmon to reach ancestral spawning grounds that had been cut off for more than a century!
