Alpine Environment - Eurac Research @euracalpenv.bsky.social · Sep 5

🕊️ Alpine farmland is losing its biodiversity.
New research shows:
✅ Natural habitats & habitat diversity help #birds thrive
❌ Intensification fragments landscapes & harms ecosystems
🌍 #Conservation must scale across landscapes

How do we decide on conservation actions in the face of context dependency?

In our new paper on ‘Precision Ecology’

we show how methods developed in medicine & marketing

can be applied to predict site-specific outcomes

allowing effective & targeted conservation

Happy to be part of this paper: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... We present a new classification-occupancy model for automatically identified species data, including a step-by-step guide to fit it to your own data. Relevant for everyone working with e.g. ecoacoustic data!

A classification‐occupancy model based on automatically identified species data

Occupancy models estimate a species' occupancy probability while accounting for imperfect detection, but often overlook the issue of false-positive detections. This problem of false positives has gai...

Tomorrow will be eBird's Global Big Day: ebird.org/globalbigday
In my paper, I analyzed how COVID-19 lockdowns affected biodiversity data collection. It was interesting to see how, even during lockdown, data collection skyrocketed during eBird Big Days in some countries (Costa Rica in the figure).

Decreases in biodiversity data volumes correlated with declines in visitation to parks and outdoor areas, and were significantly larger in developing countries compared to developed ones, likely due to the disrupted influx of international visitors.

Happy to share our new paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Five years ago around this time, most people were entering the first COVID-19 lockdown. We analyzed how these restrictions affected the amount of biodiversity data collected during the lockdown, using data from @gbif.org

OECD countries give a smaller share of their national income to foreign aid today than in 1960

A line graph titled "Foreign aid given as a share of national income, DAC Countries" illustrates the trend of official development assistance (ODA) as a percentage of gross national income from 1960 to 2023. The vertical axis represents the percentage of national income, ranging from 0% to 0.5%, while the horizontal axis indicates the years from 1960 to 2023.

The graph shows a decline in foreign aid from approximately 0.49% in 1960, followed by fluctuations, hitting a low of about 0.21% around the year 2000. After this low point, there is a gradual increase, reaching 0.37% in 2023. Two data points are highlighted: 0.49% at the start, and 0.21% around 2000, marking significant moments in the timeline.

In the graph, "DAC countries" is noted as major aid donors in the OECD, with a credit to the data source, which is the OECD for the year 2024. The visual is copyrighted under CC BY.
