We just published a simulation study showing that model-based sampling can improve the performance of species distribution models using #citizenscience data! Really cool to see how beneficial adaptive sampling can be in real-world contexts! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Apply now for a 2025 AOS Kessel Fellowship. This year, our early-career Fellowship grant amounts will be $15K each for #OrnithologicalResearch & one $30K grant for #ArcticResearch. Applications are due by 1/31/25. americanornithology.org/awards-grants/…

Why do birds coordinate provisioning to young? Work by @ChayAnimalFacts, @beckerhopper, @SamCPatrick & Hatchwell suggests long-tailed tits exhibit 2 forms of coordination; synchronizing visits to ⬇️predation risk & turn feeding to ⬆️ offspring recruitment. doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

📖Published📖 In their new Review, Henrys et al. provide an introduction to adaptive sampling for ecologists 👇 doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

New exciting 2.5 postdoc position available in our team at @NorskPolar to identify & map the distribution of North Atlantic seabird prey species 🐠🐟🗺️ jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

For a better summary of the second paper than I could ever do, see this post by @mjopocock x.com/mjopocock/stat…

The "older" one is a simulation study investigating a few different methods to evaluate whether adaptive sampling could work for improving citizen science data. Spoiler: it works! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Two papers in @MethodsEcolEvol in the space of a few months really blows my mind a little. These have been a long time in the making and am very pleased to see them out. A lot of hard work through challenging times...

@jim_wild Amazing effort Jim! Well deserved after all the hard work you've put it :)

Achieved a long-standing personal goal this weekend by completing a Bob Graham Round - a Lake District fell running challenge requiring a runner to summit a list of 42 mountains within 24h, starting and finishing in Keswick spanning 110km and 8000m of ascent 🗻🏃

NEW JOB in #ornithology to study the migratory decisions of #seabirds in #Scotland and #Norway: buff.ly/45Okgvf

I couldn’t sleep last night so apropos of nothing (pride month? 🤷‍♂️😂) I present 🎤✨📊 Pop Girlies as Probability Distributions ✨🎤📊

📢3.5yr postdoc research fellow position in evolutionary ecology - apply now! Quantifying spatio-seasonal variation in #selection on seasonal #migration. Deadline July 15. @UoABioSci @UKCEHseabirds @NERCscience #ecoevo abdnjobs.co.uk/vacancy/resear…

Using log(X+1) when estimating population trends is a classic mistakes of many papers in ecology, including famous one published in @Science and @NatureEcoEvo about #insect decline. Why is it a mistake? Because it breaks the interpretability of the slope (trend) as a growth rate.

If any EU/UK citizens want to come hang out in warm and sunny Florida for a couple years and work on a postdoc, please don't hesitate to reach out about developing a proposal for this call! Anything related to ecology, macroecology, citizen science, urban ecology, etc.

Interested in a #postdocposition in HiRAD and work on aerial #biodiversity monitoring with #radar? Apply here: apply.refline.ch/273855/1638/pu… and join us! @BiodiversaPlus @WSL_research @WSL_DME @Aero_Eco @idiv
