It's a beautiful day for bog vegetation surveys with Harry Shepherd and Giulia, a master student from UvA Faculty of Science #peatlands #plantecology

New paper out last week with WorldPopProject on the changes in mobility patterns throughout the UK over the first year of the pandemic: rdcu.be/cC7jH featured over the weekend on numerous news outlets including sky news:

Please record the awkward moment when you tell them you’ve spent most of your career campaigning to have people from Eastern Europe deported.😉

Episode 6 with @unpeatable is now out! We chat about cool peatland plants like bog myrtle, bog rosemary, sphagnum, and more. Hope you enjoy! open.spotify.com/episode/0Qlodh…

PhD handed in last Wednesday, first stop Cedar Creek to begin work on @AlienImpacts. Excited to finally be out here after so many years of trying…

I’ll be talking at #BES2022 about the impact of plant colonisation on soil microbial function, tomorrow at 11:15am in the soil ecology session. Please come along! ⁦@AlienImpacts ⁦@JaneCatford⁩

New paper just out! We trial the use of peat-moss inoculation to fast-track the initial taxonomic and functional recovery of a wildfire damaged peatland (accepted version) Biological Sciences besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

#OA research by Harry Shepherd Biological Sciences Radboud Faculty of Science et al finds peat moss inoculation alongside hydrological #restoration can: 🌱Help restore peatland-specific #biodiversity 🌱Accelerate initial carbon uptake in a wildfire damaged #peatland doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Brilliant @AlienImpacts workshop exploring synergies between our invasion work and @NutNet expertly led by @JaneCatford & Maria A. Perez-Navarro, feat. Harry Shepherd @urban_sci @e_seabloom Elizabeth Borer Sophia Carmel Turner (+Billy the lab lab), with discussion, 'walkshops' and pub trips!

🌱Plant colonists that reach high abundance may be a further threat to resident #plant diversity in secondary #grasslands recovering from a recent history of #agriculture @JaneCatford G David Tilman Harry Shepherd @kcl_pebes King's Geography Cedar Creek ESR besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Delighted to see this out in Ecology Letters after two years of work! We provide a mechanistic reframing of the #EnemyReleaseHypothesis that reconciles previous inconsistencies, unifies enemy-related invasion hypotheses, and enhances predictive capacity! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Commentary I wrote on a new study suggesting non-native species may be more resistant to extreme weather events compared to native species out now in the Conversation: theconversation.com/extreme-weathe… Original study out here: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Giving a talk at #BES2023 - 16:45 in S10 Community Ecology. Come find out if you can predict the composition of a grassland community 30 years after initial seeding…

Kicked off #BES2023 by visiting the same restaurant as Katy Perry with Harry Shepherd and @kcl_pebes

Brilliant talk from Harry Shepherd @AlienImpacts demonstrating historical contingency in grasslands, and that this can be mechanistically predicted! #BES2023

Very excited to share my first first-author paper in People and Nature! We explore using network ecology to assess ecosystem services & focus on how local and indigenous knowledge can enhance understanding of species interactions to do so 🦋🌿🐦🌽 Kelvin Peh besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa…

New empirical paper with @AlienImpacts dream team (Harry Shepherd Maria A. Perez-Navarro Jane Catford) published today Journal of Ecology - we show plant consumers significantly alter seedling survival, with implications esp for community assembly, plant invasion and ERH! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Help required plz! Any protocols on phytohormone (JA, SA, ABA) extraction using dried plant material (i.e. air-dried or in oven, NOT using liquid N to snap-freeze?) Getting liquid N will be challenging at field site, hoping to be able to dry and grind leaves & extract later!
