Thank you @oacevedocharry.bsky.social! Also great talk on using state-space models to estimate extinction risk from community science data, with promising results from a case study on the endangered Everglade snail kite.
I recommend checking out their paper! doi-org.lp.hscl.ufl.edu/10.1111/1365...

@swamplily.bsky.social terrific talk! Many butterflies at risk but not enlisted in the Endangered Species Act need more research!
To help them:
1) maintain a pollinator friendly backyard
2) leave the leafs (they hibernate)
3) engage with conservation initiatives like @xercessociety.bsky.social

Today is #SNRE Research Symposium!!!
Honored to belong to this program and share some of my dissertation. Leveraging community science data we found similar patterns of estimates of probability of persistence than those from standardized monitoring!

💥BREAKING: Birds in a tropical pluvial rainforest of the Chocó have been quietly changing in morphology for 109 years. Some have shrunk, others grown. Tails grew longer, bills grew deeper. Even in forests with continuous cover, climate change may be rewriting evolution in real time.

Could we use community/citizen/participatory science data to estimate population extinction risk? Our results comparing the estimates from eBird and from a standardized survey suggest we can!!

NEW PAPER: investigating uropygial gland microbiome in African hornbills. Microbiomes were similar among species but with slight differences by body region. Nest sharing influenced microbiota, suggesting that nest environment is key shaping them.
