nature.com/nature/volumes… Our paper on insect declines is coming out today in an issue with 4 other papers on the topic!
(and yes, I'm very happy that there's a leafhopper on the cover)

We're hiring a Quantitative Biologist in Ecosystem Resilience and casting a very wide net in terms of research area. We're a fun and collaborative department. I'd be happy to try to answer any questions.

The latest from Eleana Karachaliou is up! Synthesizing data from 75,496 individuals, 73 species & 1143 sample sites, we found a globally consistent negative effect of urbanization on genetic diversity but not differentiation in marine fish. Winnipeg Squirrels doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

I am giving two presentations this week. This one is to the IUCN & UN Biodiversity community. I will discuss efforts to support Target 4 of the Global Biodiversity Framework, including developing resources, national reports, and toolkits preview.mailerlite.com/i4u8k3m7j2 GEO BON Botanic Gardens Conservation International

For all people who struggle with academic writing, Loisa Lagisz and I share our experiences and secrets, which helped 50+ students publish their first papers. Please share with your colleagues!

New paper alert! Features of cities act as drivers of migratory bird species richness and species relying on different habitats during the breeding season respond to city variation in similar ways. 🧵1/2 Chloé Schmidt Kevin Fraser Colin Garroway doi.org/10.1111/jav.03…

🚨PLEASE HELP TO SPREAD THE WORD!
