Evidence is increasingly showing how ethanol is naturally present in sugary food.
Alcohol ingestion by animals is surprisingly widespread – and we’re starting to understand its impact

For tree planting initiatives to truly benefit people and nature, they must be designed with farmers at the centre – not just as recipients, but as guardians and active decision-makers

PhD fieldwork is now well underway! I’m in Cantanhez NP for 4 months to explore the use of bioacoustics to monitor critically-endangered western chimpanzees! Lots of updates to come 🌍

@methodsinecoevol.bsky.social! It fits a variety of single/multispecies abundance models using Bayesian Inference allowing also for hierarchical frameworks. Let me show you a funny example 🧵👇(1/6) #rstats

Ok people. I’m drawing silhouettes this afternoon. If you have a paper coming up and you are in need of a #silhouette please let me know and I will have it ready today. As always I upload all my silhouettes to phylopic.org
I also have tutorials on how to put a silhouette in a plot in R.
