@ElisavetZa Yes you are. Your recent PhD qualifies enough, knowing the contemporary literature.

@JMBecologist An "ecologist" in the Netherlands is nowadays somebody who (indirectly) works for construction industry, making sure all nature environment regulations are followed or can be framed to appear to be followed. I am not calling myself ecologist anymore in Dutch.

There seems be an increasing number of scientists who call themselves ecologists but who don’t actually study the interactions between organisms and their environment

@JMBecologist Could fit quite a lot of wolves in the UK. It ain't large timberwolves though, this is the petite wolf-kind. Happy to export some.

All models are wrong, some are useful, but using multiple models can increase accuracy and assess uncertainty Worried to see policy makers using a single model, often because that’s the one promoted to them by a particular academic team sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@JMBecologist Only today here, the wolf is blamed for reducing deer numbers at the Veluwe. Given that half of deer and wild-boar population is culled every year due to overpopulation, I am not so sure that is true problem or just an anti-predator lobby.

Once again seeing other species (eg predators) blamed for biodiversity declines We need to accept declines are due to our destruction of the natural world & that healthy ecosystems include all trophic levels

@olivierhonnay @bimbombram Gewoon alles afknallen en plastic vogels op het hek en bij de vijver zetten. Tenminste overzichtelijk (= cynische opmerking). Er zijn hier inmiddels genoeg idioten die het bos niet meer indurven, misschien geen rood mutsje opdoen....

@bimbombram Het is wachten op een wolf die naar het asiel afgevoerd wordt. ‘De chip is helaas niet leesbaar maar de eigenaar mag zich melden’.

@JMBecologist Fully agree. I have a very big corner I throw things in for shorter or longer time; sometimes something dies there.

When a paper is rejected, I hate it (the paper) so much that I can’t look at it, let alone consider re-submitting it, for several weeks
