A group of 30 people stand in a tilled field surrounded by auger holes with seedlings ready to plant
A great day out yesteday planting a diverse mix of tubestock with a bunch of other keen volunteers for the BioR planting festival at Frahns Farm! We were lucky to get a beautiful day, as the cold and rain arrives this week. Good luck little seedlings!

Rainforest with buttressed trees, palms and a strangler fig in a shaded understory.
Congratulations to @jradford-smith.bsky.social for making the cover of @ecography.bsky.social with his stunning photo of subtropical #rainforest at Mt Glorious, less than an hour from Brisbane in beautiful Queensland (1 of 2).

The rapid assessments accurately identified species as threatened in 84% of cases despite much less time and data per species. Importantly they were accurate in identifying Critically Endangered species (67%) and Endangered species (54%). 2/4

New paper out! After the 2019-2020 #fires in Australia our team undertook #IUCN Red List assessments of fire affected #plant species, to handle the volume we undertook paired rapid and full assessments and compared their accuracy 1/4

Rooting for the little guy: Below‐ground traits predict juvenile grass demography in microsites
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.
🌱 New paper in @funecology.bsky.social examines how roots drive the growth of juvenile grasses in response to manipulated soil moisture doi.org/10.1111/1365...
Led by SAM AHLER (INSTAAR+EBIO), the team's results improve understanding of grass population dynamics & help guide grassland restoration

Had a great week before our at the Fowlers Gap Arid Zone Research Station doing the annual sampling of our (me and @loveyouleafyou.bsky.social) DRAGNet experimental site. Pretty crispy this year with some pretty fast cover estimates... A lot of bare ground...

Over the moon to say today is my first day as a Lecturer in Botany at the University of Adelaide. I am character limited so will just be brief other than to say how grateful I am for the amazing support and encouragement I have received from mentors and collaborators. Can't wait to get started!

The #biosphere is changing: Check our global mapping of ecological novelty in wild #ecosystems (due to #climatechange, #defaunation & floristic disruption) - just out in @natureecoevo.bsky.social ♨️🐘🌿🌐 Big thx to @mattkerr.bsky.social for the huge effort! #novelecosystems #invasivespecies #megafauna

Read our new study on mapping ecologically novel conditions - out now in Nature Ecology and Evolution 🌍🦬🌿
Headline finding is that 58% of the biosphere is experiencing highly novel conditions, but nowhere was low - we really are living in a novel world.

Interesting paper on the potential complex impacts of varroa mites on Australian plants. Honey bees can promote fragmented populations of river red gums (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), one example of a +ve interaction potentially threatened. Check out Tom's thread and get involved in the iNat project!

Same data, different analysts: variation in effect sizes due to analytical decisions in ecology and evolutionary biology
The EcoEvo Many Analysts project is out! Was great to be a part of this project expertly led by a cracking team. Really important results, showing how variable analytical decisions drastically affect study outcomes, the flow on to perceived quality during peer-review, and more!

This Registered Report masterpiece just dropped at BMC Biology, brilliantly led by a great team with the help of 300+ analysts & reviewers
Same question, same data: go figure!
tl;dr: Substantial heterogeneity among results comes from differences among analytical choices

Village Green, Arthur and the Decline, Lola vs Powerman, then Muswell Hillbillies is one of the most mind-boggling and amazing run of albums I can think of (at a rate of one a year!), the range across those albums is incredible
