Another fantastic selection of talks & posters at the BES Stirling Stirling Natural Sciences #PhD symposium this year! I’ve learnt so much from the impressive range of #research ongoing in our department led by inspiring #ECRs. 👏💪🤩🤗

I'm happy to share that our paper has been published in Forest Ecology and Management, IUFRO 10th Wind and Trees Conference special edition. 'Localised damage patterns to oak during severe UK storms in winter 2021': authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S03… A huge thanks to all authors involved

I recently visited Forestry England Dodd Wood and Whinlatter Forest in the Lake District as part of a Continuous Cover Forestry Group field trip hosted by Gareth Browning. The key objectives for these forests were to ensure wind stable forests for the future.

Observing a few moths. Documented almost 600 species over 4 nights, excluding other invertebrates that I spent time with. Meshed jacket was to prevent the moths from getting into my eyes, nose and ears.

I recently attended a fantastic workshop run by NERC Environmental Omics Facility in Sheffield. The workshop was Metabarcoding for diet analysis and environmental DNA. This comprised of four days combining lab work and bioinformatics. Great materials and instructors.

Meanwhile, Miwa Nagato-Apthorp continues as Musician in Residence, collaborating with communities on the creation of new Hawick-inspired songs.

Are you interested in building and comparing canopy height models (CHMs) using LiDAR? Then check out our latest paper Methods in Ecology and Evolution where we explore how to do this well and what happens if you don’t! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20… Here’s a short🧵summarising our key takeaways ..

Stoat having a moment on the jetty over our pond. I think it is scent marking and trying to outdo the mink that was scent marking earlier

Ecstatic that my next #research #paper (a big review) is #ACCEPTED for #publication! The content's been part of my life for 14+ years, & the culmination of huge efforts by many inspirational ecologists & #restoration practitioners for much longer. I can't wait to share it! 🤩🥳🤗
