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. https://t.co/zYJQoTRLKS

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!

1/6 | #BOUsci23 | #Break1 Greater Spotted Eagle populations are declining across their breeding range in Europe due to habitat loss & hybridisation with Lesser Spotted Eagles - they also migrate across a broad front where they are exposed to a host of other threats

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 https://t.co/8GQyTbznqh.

A great account of @NewsonStuart's fieldwork for our @EndangeredLands bioacoustics project ( https://t.co/fUhHRxABI7). 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: https://t.co/fS514m3I6G

1/5 New #BTOScience lead by @AcroDWade with @UniOfHull, @APHAgovuk & @UniversityLeeds shows that it's possible to detect the #AvianInfluenza virus via an active sampling approach before the nationwide passive approach can. #OpenAccess 👉 https://t.co/05Z6aIa5oY #BirdFlu #HPAI

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 https://t.co/MbcdccZmx6 /1

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.
