We're hiring a fieldworker to help with some of our projects in Wytham Woods this spring. Wonderful place to work (and live), especially in the spring. Get in touch if you'd like to know more.

What is now deemed an acceptable time frame for a manuscript to be out for peer review? Submitted a paper 7 (!!) weeks ago, and it is still bouncing back and forth between 'under review' and 'awaiting reviewer assignment'. 🫠🧪

There are many studies of phenology of components of the tri-trophic tree-insect-bird system, a useful model for understanding effects of climate change. But how do different measures relate to each other? We compared 5 methods, deriving 9 metrics, across 6 tree spp www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our new contribution, a massive collaboration brilliantly led by @danielwanoble.bsky.social.

#HeathrowExpansion won’t deliver growth. Business demand is falling & more tourists leave than arrive. But it will trash climate commitments, drive more extreme weather, noise & air pollution & only benefit frequent flying super-emitters - the 15% who take 75% of flights. Labour should be better

Wow, I am so happy to see that cOnr is still going well! He was born in the ANBG back in the 2017/18 breeding season (4 Jan. 2018, so he'll soon be celebrating his 7th birthday!) 🎁 #ornithology #longtermstudy #superbfairywrens

Fantastic #PhD position at @scienceanu.bsky.social working on unquestionably the coolest honeyeater - the noisy friarbird! Kind of makes me want to go back to Australia to do a second PhD!
