10 years, 4 #beaver wetlands, 24 million litres of water! Research led by @UniofExeter and DWT show that, together, four beaver-created wetlands have stored more than 24 million litres of water - the equivalent of around 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools! https://t.co/ctkqzC1ozD

Fantastic to finally meet fellow beaver believers @AlanPuttock @AusterRoger, Rich Brazier (+research team). There was some major geeking out over wetlands.

A study by #UofStirling, @JamesHuttonInst and @NatureScot has shed new light on how #beavers reintroduced to #Scotland indirectly interact with #deer – and the implications for the #woodlands they share 👉 https://t.co/CMEo1JHiIx

The great beaver migration has started! Thousands and thousands of beavers across northern Minnesota have left their families and embarked on a perilous journey through winding streams, across bogs, and sometimes over land in an effort to find hearth and home before ending up in

I didn’t think they’re could be a better view in Scotland than from A' Mhaighdean, but Stob a' Choire Odhair may be a worthy rival… @walkhighlands

A student had a poster @BritishEcolSoc a few years ago... put a dead pig in a stream, put a camera trap nearby and a white-tailed eagle landed on the carcass. That was cool.

Fantastic review on carrion ecology in inland aquatic ecosystems.
New paper out! Very happy to see finally published this work on a topic scarcely addressed so far. Special thanks to Adrián Orihuela-Torres and Esther Sebastián-González for inviting me to contribute. It's been a pleasure to be part of this amazing team. https://t.co/DLaOGzdVNh

Hypothetical articles like this are great. I always ask students if their studies would be different in ± 100 years. Always good to think beyond the current landscape.
NEW: In our latest feature, Matthew Hay takes a trip into the future to watch wolves in the snowless Cairngorms, a decade after their reintroduction to the Highlands. https://t.co/wpbrV4QeI8

Europe-wide study of chemicals in rivers published in @env_int_journal uncovers cocktail of nasties likely to have huge impact on invertebrates, algae & fish. Many of these compounds would be bad on their own but, combined, they're a toxic mess. https://t.co/SRDECvRm6d

When reviewing a paper, don't you just love the treasure hunt of finding the figures located at the end of the document, with figure captions on another page, then losing your place and chain of thought? If only there was some other way...

📢New Paper Alert!📝Our latest study delves into the dynamic world of #beaver dam #ecohydrology, with new insights into how water flows through them. Frequent shifts in flow states were often triggered by rainfall. 🌧️Congrats @BikeIgnacio! #Cameratraps
