The MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium (impactclimate.mit.edu) under its Impact Fellows program (impactclimate.mit.edu/get-involved/i…) is hiring a postdoctoral fellow with a technical focus on computing and climate!

🦒Happy #WorldGiraffeDay!!🦒 #Giraffe conservation is a tall order and 3 of the 4 newly distinguished giraffe species are in significant decline.📉 You can learn more from Dunn et al's 2021 article, available at  doi.org/10.1111/csp2.3… #science #GiraffeDay 🦒📷: @PepomintNarwhal

I love the Asia-Pacific Coral Reef Symposium @apcrs2023 because most participants are from coral reef countries like Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia. The conference starts next week in Singapore, who among my tweeps are going? Please say hi!

Come to a special screening of the NY episode of Christian Cooper's new @natgeowild series, "Extraordinary Birder." He'll be on hand at @ExplorersClub to answer your questions and sign his new @penguinrandom memoir! Get tickets now before they're all gone! #christiancooper 🐦

A new study with @NHM_London shows 42% of known deep-sea species were found for the first time in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone—with more species being discovered with each new sample. Mining in the CCZ may harm thousands of these unknown species. pew.org/42bY9Lw

Wanted: #eDNA Data and Collaborators!#RT #Global #meta-analysis to assess🐟#biodiversity patterns. We search #collaborators providing #fish #eDNA #datasets If interested in joining @altermatt_lab, @YanZhan04701782, @loic_pellissier & #XiaoweiZhang, read on & contact us! 🧵1/3

Do you live & work on sponge conservation in Africa, Asia, Carib, Latin America? We may create an @IUCNssc Sponge Specialist Group with people from research, management, policy, front line practice. DM @MonniKaboom if you are interested. @SSCmarine @ProtectSpecies Pls RT

Parthenogenesis? In MY crocodile? It's more likely than you think! My colleagues @Warren_Booth, @JCorush, Quetzal Dwyer, Roel De Plecker, @gwschuett1 and I report on the first parthenogenic crocodile @INHSillinois @UofIllinois royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Worm snakes (genus Carphophis) are one of the neatest snakes in the US. This one coiled up was no larger than a US quarter!

WE ARE HIRING! @SmithRoot In need of an eDNA Technical Support Specialist with great communication skills. 👇 indeed.com/job/edna-techn… Please circulate 🙏 p.s. I'm sorry if I'm slow on replies right now. Currently buried in the spring/summer eDNA field rush.

Snakes are often misunderstood and feared, but they are actually very important animals. We should do our part to protect them and learn more about them. Here's how: 📚 Educate yourself about snakes. The more you know about them, the less likely you are to be afraid of them. 1/2

Please RT: Are you an #African #researcher working on #eDNA and want to share your knowledge? I would love to start an African #eDNAnetwork promoting capacity building and technology development to increase #eDNA studies on our beautiful continent. DM me! bitly.ws/BVjK

The jungle is a place of wonder. Deep in the green heart of Sumatra on an expedition last November, we came across giant ferns unfolding into the sky.

It’s #WorldSeagrassDay!🌊🌱 Here's a small reminder from @ProjectSeagrass of why seagrass is so amazing

I am pleased to announce our very first mini review on the application of eDNA metabarcoding for biomonitoring in the mangrove environment. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… A big thanks to the team for coming together and sharing their experience.

Do you 🧡 snakes? #RDZLab is hiring preferably recent #postdoc w/ skills that intersect genetics/genomics-disease ecology-field biology. Should have strong interests in #herpetology, #conservation, & applying integrative methods in #EEB to #SFD 🐍🍄🧬 tinyurl.com/NerodiaJob 1/2

There is currently an illegal bounty on live #Macaques for sale to the international #Pharmaceutical industry, consequently the #Rangers on our 18,000ha #ElephantCorridor in #Cambodia spend much of their time destroying monkey traps!

We are keeping a close eye on things related to fish maw (or swim bladders). This is a significant and emerging form of #WildlifeCrime threatening species and ecosystems around the globe. samaaenglish.tv/news/40024021
