Defining medieval raptor diets using isotopy - they were feeding differently, notably by "the incorporation of carrion from large mammals as scavenged prey in settlements, a food resource that is largely lacking from modern-day landscapes in large quantities" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Field work in AUS pt. 3: These last few days have been trial and error. Underestimating distances in the forest, finding the most efficient way to set up traps (see: funky lid construction), getting the electronics right - quite challenging… 😅

After a hearty breakfast, our preparations for fieldwork are in full swing. Preparing butterfly traps, microclimate loggers, and vegetation sheets. Happy to be back in Kenya to work with and receive support from our friends and partners at Pwani, KEFRI, KFS and KWS in Arabuko-Sokoke Forest 🇰🇪🧪🦋🌳🙏

“Compared to autopsy brain samples from 2016, that’s about 50% higher,” he said. “That would mean that our brains today are 99.5% brain and the rest is plastic.” Will we manage to cross 1% plastic by 2030? 🫠😵‍💫

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes?! 🤯 Hi, I'm a nest researcher 👋 and new here on BlueSky, sharing the craziest #bird nests I've ever found. 👀 Today, I’m sharing my discovery of rebellious birds that build nests out of anti-bird spikes. And honestly, it's like telling a joke... A thread. 🧵

Climate change refugia are places to which species can migrate as the climate changes. But there is more to anthropogenic effects than climate change, giving rise to the idea of global change refugia. Find out more in my recent paper in Nature Review Biodiversity 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

A major challenge in restoration ecology is the widespread belief that there is a correct natural community for any given location, and that identifying it is the first step in recreating it. 1/6

Coexistence between plants fascinates me, and how it changes under climate change is one of the most intriguing questions. We investigated this using a novel spatially explicit, trait-based approach in one of the experiments within the #TransPlantNetwork onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
