UEA CEEC

This is also a great chance to share your own research, and we are pleased to invite CEEC members to submit applications for oral and poster presentations. Please sign up here if interested: forms.office.com/e/ca5BYkzYHv The deadline for submissions is 5:30 pm on Monday 3rd February.

The CEEC Rebellion Conference is coming soon! Join us on the 19th & 20th March at ZICER 2.03 for an excellent opportunity to learn about and discuss the latest research in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation at UEA.

Another NYE, another night of terror for millions of birds across the Netherlands. Last year we published (esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/fe…) about the massive impact of fireworks on birds. Thread with a damning animation of radar measurements during NYE countdown, below. 👇

@_SimonButler @Nat_B_Zielonka @biouea @ueaceec @PaN_BES Nice seeing this in The Guardian as well theguardian.com/environment/20…

Great piece by @Nat_B_Zielonka on our recent study exploring the impacts of soundscape decline and enhancement on nature connectedness and well-being besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa… @biouea @ueaceec @PaN_BES theconversation.com/the-hidden-ben…

#PhDposition📢 1️⃣ The importance of location of origin for wildflower seed mixes 👉iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/t… 2️⃣ Protecting native flowers under climate change by creating natural temperature buffers 👉findaphd.com/phds/project/a… We are a CASE partner on both opportunities🌱

Do you have knowledge or expertise in taxonomic groups found in the UK’s uplands? I’m looking for naturalists to contribute to autecological analysis as part of a #biodiversity audit assessing impacts of land-use change across eight of northern England’s protected landscapes 1/4

1/ News just in. 🔊 108 species and races of rare native birds were reported breeding, or attempting to breed, in the UK in 2022. This is the second-highest total since reporting began in 1973 according to the latest report by @ukrbbp. Discover the species updates.⬇️ @Natures_Voice @JNCC_UK

Looking forward to reading the new Protected planet report and recommending it to my students @ueaceec, @ueaenv Setting aside areas for conservation or protecting "specific features" in PAs is still the main pillar of biodiversity conservation.

Exciting PhD opportunity - Passerine viromics and genomics @DSRichardson68, @UEAResearch @ueaceec working on the wonderful Seychelles warbler @SeychellesWarb, and with @EvelienAdri and @hannahdugdale biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/passe… Applications deadline Nov 25

Where do migratory seabirds go? Come to @ueaenv for a PhD studying the connectivity and conservation of seabird marine flyways, with a great supervisory and collaboration team @AldinaFranco @TammyEDavies @BirdLifeMarine @PeterIMiller More info here: aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/S…

New PhD project @ueaceec @ueaenv examining individual variability in movement strategies of birds using tracking data. With me and @MariusSomveille @InesCatry @timmackrill @MartaAcacio aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/f… #ornithology

Exciting PhD project looking at migratory seabirds, connectivity and conservation @ueaceec @ueaenv #ornithology

📢NEW STUDY describing the first full-season spring raptor migration counts in the eastern Black Sea flyway! Read about seasonal contrasts in raptor migration, the eastern Black Sea coast as a principal spring flyway, and much more. Preprint➡️biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/9🧵👇

Excellent from Brian McGill: is ecology (and by extension, other disciplines, even digital humanities!) ready for really big code projects, and how both authors and readers can presume the code works? dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2024/10/14/is-…

It's that time of year again - #CrowCoG is advertising for 🚨 MULTIPLE PAID RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITIONS (APRIL - SEP 2025) 🚨 to help us conduct field- and aviary-based study of the tool-making and -using New Caledonian crows! Advert: bit.ly/3Ys7O2c PLEASE SHARE!

Huge thanks for all of our study vineyards who let us put #AudioMoths in their vineyards, manipulate their soundscapes and sneak around tours. Huge thanks to funders @NERCscience @BBSRC, @Wine_GB's SWGB. Thanks @ueaceec @biouea and @CamZoology for supporting this work.

Bird song makes you feel better. Research published today on bird soundscapes and what happens when you artifically enhance them, in collaboration with @Nat_B_Zielonka and @_SimonButler @ueaceec zoo.cam.ac.uk/news/increased…
