New blog from PhD student Jake Stone on the BEFTA website! In it, Jake discusses his trip to some fantastic rainforest and karst ecosystems in Malaysia. Give it a read 🙂 bit.ly/2SyxBCP
Please RT! We have a vacant 3-yr (!) postdoc position in our EFForTS - CRC 990 #biodiversity enrichment experiment. Interested in BEF research / #restoration, synthesis, #multi-trophic biodiv and #multifunctionality? What are you waiting for? Details here: uni-goettingen.de/en/305402.html…
Join our international team for this 3-year postdoc position on how to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functions of oil palm plantations via planting of native tree species in Jambi, Sumatra Application deadline: 31 October Uni Göttingen BioGeo Göttingen
Please contact Amelia Hood if your research is applicable to this project.
Remember our recent Journal of Applied Ecology paper led by @Micharaneae on arthropod diversity in oil palm? (#OpenAccess link: bit.ly/2S2t2k7) 🕷🐜🌴 Now you can read an accessible summary of the findings on our blog: zoo.cam.ac.uk/research/group…
Hello #BES2020! Several of us have talks + posters at #festivalofecology - do check them out! 🌴 oil palm with @Micharaneae 🦋 butterflies with Dr Esme Ashe-Jepson + Matt Hayes 🏛 museum invert collections with Bethan Wallace 🦊 children's perceptions of wildlife with Kate Howlett
This is an incredible tool -- check out the virtual tour of the EFForTS - CRC 990 projects!
Check out Sarah Luke's fantastic tweets on key BEFTA Programme findings, and how she and others are working with both academic and industry communities to manage agricultural systems more sustainably. 🕷️🌴🪲
Looking to do an MPhil Cambridge University and interested in tropical ecology? Check out this advert! This project involves several BEFTA researchers 🙂
New open-access opinion piece from BEFTA researchers in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, and focussed on restoration of tropical agriculture. It profiles our BEFTA-UVP and RERTA projects, which focus on restoring understory vegetation complexity and riparian buffers in oil palm plantations!
Our new manuscript BEFTA Programme shows that spiders in oil palm plantations are robust to changes in understory vegetation management. Published today in Basic and Applied Ecology 🕷️🎉 Open access here: bit.ly/3BF6yw2 Summary👇
