Free-roaming cats eat frogs, birds, bats, and insects. Boost #biodiversity by keeping #CatsIndoors .
Multiple frameworks have been proposed to quantify #Functional #Diversity across its dimensions, including richness, divergence, regularity and turnover (beta diversity). In a new paper Ecography we propose using neighbor-joining trees.

This #OxfordJob is open for applications until 1st May - do apply if you haven't already.
This may be one of the biggest papers I ever have the privilege to be part of.
Out now in Science Magazine, we ask: Are nature conservation interventions working?
The answer is YES. We now need to fund MORE to reverse global biodiversity declines.

The University of South Bohemia (Czechia) offers a research-focused 2-yr Master's programme in Ecology. Applications deadline on 19 May 2024. See prf.jcu.cz/ecology, questions Petr Blažek: [email protected].
So excited to see our meta-analysis on the impact of conservation action, led by Penny Langhammer now out: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. In short: we show that against the backdrop of unprecedented 🌍 biodiversity decline, where we do act, we can start to bend the curve. 🎉🍾
🚨 Big news: #ConservationWorks !
While known intuitively, we now have the first evidence - and that scaling conservation interventions would be transformational for halting & reversing biodiversity loss 🌍
A new collaborative study in Science Magazine 👇
