Coexistence Theory for Microbial Ecology, and Vice Versa Classical models from theoretical ecology are seeing increasing uptake in microbial ecology, but there remains rich potential for closer cross-pollination. Here we explore opportunities for stronger ....

In our new paper we discuss how modern coexistence theory can help microbial ecologists tackle fundamental & applied questions, and how microbial systems can help to push coexistence theory forward! With Andrew Letten and Dave Armitage (@darmitage.bsky.social). doi.org/10.1111/1462...

Decades of Indigenous observations reveal changing bird community - The Wildlife Society Scientific surveys and Heiltsuk knowledge came together to unravel the avian ecology of a British Columbia island

Here's a fascinating read on how Indigenous knowledge has deepened biologists' understand of changes in the bird community on a small island off of British Columbia. #ornithology

This'll be a great meeting. See you there.

How important is the #cameratrap you use?
A recent article compares three cameras (of different prices) and shows great variability in the information recorded

I'm handling a manuscript and have invited seventeen reviewers. So far, the responses are: no response, declined, declined, no response, declined, declined, declined, declined, declined, no response, no response. One person has turned in a review and I'm still trying to find a second reviewer.

A 19th Century Stormwrecked Black‐Capped Petrel From Vermont Offers Insight Into Historical Vagrancy Processes Small historical museum collections can provide unexpected data points in telling the story of how climate change has impacted species. We report a (re)discovered Black-capped Petrel (Pterodroma hasi....

Genetic Evidence of Killer Whale Predation on White Sharks in Australia Using a combination of wildlife forensics and citizen science, we provide the first evidence of killer whale predation on Australian white sharks, targeting the liver. This is the first time a predat...

New genetic evidence of Killer Whales attacking White Sharks in Australia, selectively targeting their livers, suggests this behavior is more widespread than previously thought: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @bellareeves.bsky.social et al. #killerwhales #orcas #sharks

The Influence of Migration Timing and Local Conditions on Reproductive Timing in Arctic-Breeding Birds: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #ornithology

Extinction of experience among ecologists Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Where are all the field studies?

This ⬇️ important but rather depressing paper describes how conducting, & crucially initiating, field studies is becoming harder & rarer.

Anyone thinking of a shift into publishing/full-time editing? Editor job avaiable in the Wiley ecology/environmental science team, working on environmental toxicology/ecotoxicology. Unfortunately also working with me, but it’s still a good job:
