How exactly does academic authorship work? And how can we establish fairer crediting systems that recognise non-academic authors and diverse contributions?

Very happy to share our new paper published in Current Biology !
We show that the “big bad wolf” actually fears humans for good reason.
It’s the first-ever playback experiment on wild wolves in Europe 🇵🇱🌲.

Is it possible to infer trait matching in ecological networks, even when no trait information is available? In our new article, just recommended by Timothée Poisot (@ctrlalttim.com) for PCI Ecology, we suggest that it is possible! Read the recommendation here: doi.org/10.24072/pci... 🌐 (1/6)

This weekend, I took part in the odonatological meeting of the Opie! I presented the DRAGON project I'm working on, and learned how to identify dragonflies in the field. It was an amazing weekend of sharing scientific and naturalist knowledge, while meeting great and passionate people!

Last week was our Dragon project workshop at Cesab! This was a great week of collaborative work to discuss dragonfiles, occupancy models and a lot more! Time to get those models running now 👩💻
