Calling UK fungus recorders and group organisers! The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Biological Records Centre would love to hear how/why you collect & share records of UK fungi, for work supported by the Natural England Species Recovery Programme: app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/ceh-online-s…… #fungi #biologicalrecording

As more people live in areas of high urban density, we need to understand & emphasise the benefits provided by both ornamental & functional urban greenspaces.

Welcome authors from the latest InsectConservation #SpecialIssue for our online talk - 10 April ⬇️

Institute for Social-Ecological Research is awarding a project grant for the development and realization of an artistic work to be displayed in a public space in Frankfurt am Main. Topic- insects and the city. Details here: isoe.de/insectopolis/ please share

1/x Once I was 'walking' through Google Street View looking for bird sites. It hit me: what if we could automatically identify suitable habitats for a species from ground-based imagery? Idea stuck - Lars L. Iversen convinced me we should try on🦎... it worked! bit.ly/GBIhabitats

💬Last few days to share your experience of #citizenscience and #farmers #farmland . All experience welcome to support opportunity planning by Natural England!

Hello birding friends! Please consider helping our research by taking this survey (and sharing with any local birding clubs/listervs). Thanks in advance!

I'm currently recruiting 1 or 2 graduate students to join a growing research group at the University of Florida. Funded positions at potentially a Masters or PhD level — within the realm of global change ecology. More about what we do: coreytcallaghan.com

We've had such fun hosting Corey Callaghan here at University of Miami BGSO biology. It's awesome seeing the power of large biodiversity data for testing important questions about the distribution of species over the past century and think about how that may change into the future with global change

Arrows pointing to arrows never fails to make my eye twitch. Aesthetics aside, here's a well-written paper by Julia Rohrer Paul Hünermund Malte Elson on why these designs are not so constructive of knowledge: doi.org/10.1177/251524…

We're working with the Biological Recording Company and Earthworm Society UK to see if image recognition technology can identify live #earthworms from photos 🪱🪱

You can help train the #AI ! Join one of a series of sampling days taking place across England and Wales this autumn 1/2

New on European conservation science:

🇪🇺 Habitats directive has increased monitoring but not stopped biodiversity declines since its implementation. 🦋& dragonfly species are declining.

Do you use CMWs in your trait research? Latest research shows CWMs often yield biased results - but bootstrapping known samples provides a way forward new method & R package to better estimate trait means & shapes (moments) of trait distributions...

I think there are endless questions yet to be answered with GBIF @ecoevo.social/@gbif data! This paper was one step towards seeing what might be possible. Many nuances about using GBIF data for such a question sprinkled throughout the paper.
