📚 Started my three-week placement at University of Pretoria this week! Excited to connect with fellow researchers, share my work and collaborate on South Africa’s crop pest control. The campus is stunning, and the people are amazing 🌱💜


Attending the 24-hour #BOUsci23 online bird migration conference from the comfort of my sofa!☕️ Insightful presentation from Kieran Lawrence on the profound effects of climate and land-use change on migratory bird populations in North America and Europe.🦆🌦️Great start to the morning!


Our new paper is now out in Diversity & Distributions, where we present a new modelling framework - Spatially explicit Adaptive Migration Models (SAMMs). We show how this approach can simulate the optimal behavioural decisions to migrate across open land- and seascapes onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…



I highly recommend anyone at #BES2023 come and check out my talk in the Macroecology and Biogeography session this afternoon on the dynamicSDM R package (Room 1A at 13:15pm)!🌍💻 British Ecological Society


Want some help integrating participatory video into your environmental research? In our new paper People and Nature, Max Nawrath Dr Jess C Fisher Ingrid Arotoma Rojas provide excellent hints & tips based on their experiences Helen Elsey Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial DICE Kent RHULGeography besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa…


Our study is out in nature! This was a big piece of work compiling data on global conservation actions. Headline? 58% of the world's threatened species are seemingly neglected by conservation efforts...

So excited that my favourite PhD chapter looking at #marinemammal habitat use in relation to key #prey is now published in #EnvironmentalDNA Cetacean Research & Rescue Unit Leeds Eco&Evol Res doi.org/10.1002/edn3.5…
