Great work by @CJG_Russell to publish this paper in @CurrentBiology in the first year of his PhD. Very proud supervisor!
5/ With thanks to my co-authors: @Adhamab90, @AldinaFranco, @plectrophenax and Ülo Väli. This project was supported by @EndangeredLands, managed by the @CCI_Cambridge with @ArcadiaFund. Research affiliations: @ueaenv @ueaceec @ARIES_DTP @_BTO.
New paper on boosting training data in acoustic machine learning classification for identification of species with little training data, such as dormice. Great work from @jen_macisaac to get the first chapter of her PhD published in @ECOLINFORM.

Big congratulations @climateincolour for publishing this work from her PhD and getting an honourable mention from @TheOfficialACM dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36139…

Connectivity is often given as an aim in conservation, but how do we interpret it, how do we try to improve it, and how do we measure it
Please complete our survey - nice & quick to do, but will be very useful to scope out the state of play!
If you are a conservation researcher or practitioner, help us understand the use of ecological connectivity in conservation through this short survey - qualtricsxmvl7pzvyfq.qualtri…

Very excited to announce my new R package spAbundance for fitting single-species and multi-species spatially-explicit N-mixture models, distance sampling models, and GLMMs. Includes options for random intercepts/slopes and species correlations. #rstats jeffdoser.com/files/spabunda….

A great account of @NewsonStuart's fieldwork for our @EndangeredLands bioacoustics project (endangeredlandscapes.org/pro…). This will hopefully enable many more to do acoustic monitoring of bats, birds and more through automated classification.

Landscape fires in #WildPolesia threaten human lives & health, economy & ecosystems, and increase greenhouse gas emissions. #Wetland #restoration is a nature-based solution to the problem, the authors of our new peer-reviewed study emphasize. Learn more: wildpolesia.org/blog/2023/05…

Great to see our paper out in @STOTEN_journal on the prevalence and risk of wildfires in areas of high conservation value in eastern Europe @wildpolesia

If people aren't bored of hearing me speak about Greater Spotted Eagles I'm at #BES2022 this afternoon! Come and say hello

The UK government's biodiversity expenditure data released - & it's grim. For all the rhetoric of financing nature recovery - here's how spending has actually changed over time - still ~40% lower than in 2008 in real terms

1/ Introducing my 1st published chapter of my PhD @UniOfHull, and my 1st first author journal article;
Lets talk bird flu, aka avian influenza aka AI.
Since starting my PhD, AI has raised it's head and from both a conservation and rural economy perspective, that's a problem.
Feel free to contact me @NewsonStuart or @simon_gillings if you want to know more about using the @_BTO acoustic pipeline for your own research or monitoring project.

Testing out my latest nocturnal bird neural network on recordings from Thetford Forest, successfully detecting Long-eared Owls and Nightjars @_BTO @conway_greg @NewsonStuart @Adhamab90 #BTOAcousticPipeline

Amazing that our colleagues from @RewildingDD in Ukraine are still collecting data to support ecological restoration and that the @_BTO acoustic pipeline can facilitate that.
🔉 Acoustic #monitoring helps to research life in the Danube Delta.
This method made it possible to detect rare #bats and rodents in the Tarutino #steppe, as well as many bird species. 🦇🐁
