We developed a structured workflow to operationalize EBSA criteria at regional scales, with a strong emphasis on robustness and transparency. It includes a spatially explicit method to assess data & communicate uncertainty to support better-informed decisions.

Exploring how to navigate ecosystem complexity in marine conservation planning. We built on CBD’s Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs) criteria, shifting focus from single species to ecosystem-level processes. But how to scale EBSA criteria for local/regional use?

Operationalising Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas criteria for ecosystem-based conservation and management: The Bay of Biscay case Marine ecosystems face significant declines in biodiversity and health due to human activities and environmental changes. To address this, global and …

The first chapter of my PhD just got published! 🌊

The need for an individual-based global change ecology Biodiversity loss and widespread ecosystem degradation are among the most pressing challenges of our time, requiring urgent action. Yet our understanding of their causes remains limited because prevai...

🌐 "We propose a paradigm shift in ecological science, moving from simplifying frameworks that use species, population or community averages to an integrative approach that recognizes individual organisms as fundamental agents of ecological change."

YouTube video by Oxford Biodiversity Network Leveraging human behavioural science for conservation. Brock Bergseth

On Friday, Brock Bergseth gave us a powerful talk, debunking some of the most common myths around changing (environmental) behaviour, and discussing how our inherent social wiring can be leveraged to create meaningful, scalable change.

Catch it on our YouTube channel now! @biology.ox.ac.uk

If you hate statistics like I do, then you'll love my free lectures. Putting science before statistics, 20 lectures from basics of inference & causal modeling to multilevel models & dynamic state space models. It's all free, made with love and sympathy. 🧪 #stats www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

🌊📌An international team of researchers has developed an innovative tool to assist #marineplanning practitioners and competent authorities in incorporating ecosystem-based approach principles into the marine spatial planning of uses.

SUMMER SCHOOL 2025 “Artificial intelligence and citizen science in monitoring and assessing biodiversity and invasive species at sea” - AZTI Summer School 2025 will focus on innovative and practical tools for monitoring and assessing human pressures on biodiversity in marine systems.

Heyyy!! #MarineResearchers!!!
Our new @azti.bsky.social summer school is here, on #AI and #citizenscience to monitor the #ocean and #biodiversity, with 6 Horizon EU projects #GES4SEAS #Obama-Next @guardias.bsky.social etc.

Diagram depicting wildlife’s contributions to people (WCP) and their connection to nature’s contributions to people (NCP). Wildlife plays critical roles through actions like predation, herbivory, scavenging, and ecosystem engineering, directly and indirectly by supporting services such as habitat creation, climate regulation, pollination, food production, and cultural identity, while maintaining ecosystem balance. Designed by Sylvia Heredia.

Wildlife contributes to human well-being and values in visible and invisible ways that are under-recognized or dominated by conflict narratives. We review these critical contributions and what research and policy is needed to protect them: www.nature.com/articles/s44...
