👀Do you want to have a look at the data available (and coming soon!) in BioTIME?👀 Have a look at the new data explorer on our website! 👉biotime.st-andrews.ac.uk

Interested in long-term ecology? Come and do a PhD on the ecology & palaeoecology of the Anthropocene with me, Anne Magurran @bioTIMEdb & @UK_CEH via @IapetusDTP iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/t…

BioTIME got highlighted by @FiveThirtyEight in this week's "Data Is Plural" column! 📈📉 Read more here 👇 fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-d…

.@maadornelas opens session 3 by telling us about @bioTIMEdb a growing and valuable resource for the science of #biodiversity change. What it represents and an analysis of the data gaps. A plea for time series contributions for undersampled regions #WBF2020

We're back! 👉biotime.st-andrews.ac.uk

Is the Anthropocene creating novel ecology? #PhD with me @StAndrewsSGSD, Anne Magurran @bioTIMEdb, Lindsay Maskell & Simon Smart @UK_CEH iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/t…

Yes! This is very true! #AEET21

Another great #sDiv @idiv workshop going on this week! (online only this time). Really fun to think about melding functional traits with biodiversity change in @bioTIMEdb. Expertly co-led by @maadornelas, @fschrodt, and @InesISMartins, look for cool results to come soon(ish)!

The talk "Nuance in Biodiversity Trends" @maadornelas gave yesterday for the Saints Talk series @UstAAlumni is now available on Youtube! Watch it in our BioTIME playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=NJmd_0… @CentreBioDiv

@ShyamolinaG @maadornelas Thanks for bringing this to our attention! The studies were split already by our data contributors from the Hurlbert Lab to account for differences in methods, study sites, and grain sizes. We'll be updating the methods to give more info on that + send an email over to you :)

@maadornelas @bioTIMEdb "Bird populations in east central Illinois fluctuations variations and development over a half-century -breeding bird pairs counted per 40 hectare area for full methods see pdf available here ideals.illinois.edu/handle/2142/25… Unit of abundance = DensityPer40Ha, Unit of biomass = NA"

Note to users: BioTIME amended ten datasets. You can find the up-to-date version of the database on our website: biotime.st-andrews.ac.uk and in Zenodo: zenodo.org/record/5026943… More info in the thread 👇 (1/5)

Thank you to the data contributors for engaging with us to correct the database. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us! (5/5)

Study 70 (Belgian butterflies) has been removed from the database, as inconsistencies in sampling effort through time emerged. (4/5)
