Extracting abundance information from DNA-based data biorxiv.org/content/10.110… After some very lovely and detailed journal reviews, here is version 4 of our manuscript, with 10 additional citations (most from 2022), lots of clarifications, and revised figures.

In Death Valley National Park, researchers have captured the first photographic evidence of donkeys falling prey to the claws of a native predator: the cougar. fcld.ly/dbnxcn7

My dad's idea of a good "dad joke". He puts a fake sheep in the garden to help graze the grass. Weird thing is, at night it still has the reflective eyes so it just stares back at you!

Really happy to see our work on the lack of a coherent climate and biodiversity strategy for England's housing sector covered in today's Guardian theguardian.com/environment/20…

So excited to see this piece published in Science. Check out Evan Fricke’s 🧵 and have a read of the paper (spoiler: contains beautiful paleo artwork) 🦁 🐴 🐪 🐺 🦌 🐆

As COP27 begins, we're launching our paper: "The future of Nature-based Solutions: Measuring nature using eDNA" We share our vision on how #eDNA technology will be essential to the delivery of #NatureBasedSolutions. Download your copy👇 naturemetrics.co.uk/nbs-paper

If you missed it last week, check out NatureMetrics' white paper on the role of eDNA (and other biodiversity monitoring tech generally) in scaling up Nature-based Solutions to genuinely deliver biodiversity net-gain 🧬🛰️🌳🦥 Download here👇 naturemetrics.co.uk/nbs-paper

A barrier to replication: scientists have bad coding practice. 74% of R files included with papers & replication datasets failed to execute, but about a third of those could be fixed with simple code changes. Physicists were the worst offenders. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Proud team member NatureMetrics at such a critical time for #nature. Businesses, you can now easily monitor nature across your impact zones and supply chains. You (and all of us) rely on this, start protecting and restoring nature today🧬🌍 #COP15 #TNFD #Montreal #B2B #business

Honored and elated to see our recent research on a novel trophic cascade between cougars and donkeys featured in a Research Highlight by Journal of Animal Ecology! Thanks for the great discussion and beautiful figure, Rafael L. G. Raimundo Enjoy here: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Govt response to BNG consultation out: ✅good commitment to LPA resourcing✅tackling pre-emptive degradation ✅avoided the worst unrestricted credit stacking ❌letting dev's sell on-site 'excess' gains❌no transparent unit pricing❌no register for on-site (ie most biodv gains!)

Blown away by the valuation of kelp forest ecosystem services at $500 billion worldwide! A great example of how important (and undervalued) nature is for the economy, society, and biodiversity - time to invest and restore #bluecarbon #naturerecovery nature.com/articles/d4158…

Science-based targets for Nature guidance released today: definitely a +ve step! But devil's in the detail: what happens if they don't meet their targets, & target-setting no substitute for ambitious state action to reduce biodv loss. Me in the Guardian theguardian.com/environment/20…

Major US banks are breaking their promise to finance the green energy transition. My newest Op-Ed for Sierra Club in American Banker has the details: americanbanker.com/opinion/big-ba…

Should I restore or rewild? In ⁦Nathalie Pettorelli⁩ & my new paper we show that because they focus on different processes, restoration and rewilding can work in synergy for nature recovery projects Particularly, to support landscape-scale conservation besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Some of France's environmental initiatives, especially its training for public sector workers, are astonishing. It shows what can be done, even within the regrettable constraints of growth-based capitalism. My column. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

What a morning, and what a well-timed turn up for the books 🧬 On another note, I’m incredibly glad to have met a fantastic bunch of nature folk to carry on my bird ringing training! 🐦‍⬛🦜
