Our paper on using #eDNA to address #GBF targets for aquatic biodiversity is out today in … thank you so much to a great team led by @florianaltermatt.bsky.social and @rosiecblackman.bsky.social - wonderful to be part of this collaboration!

A great paper by @bryonyblades.bsky.social shows that mobilising data from recent surveys by taxonomists and other specialists complements the spatial and climatic coverage and reduces bias in data on insect distributions from @gbif.org. @cristinaronquillo.bsky.social @mncn-bgcg.bsky.social 🌐🧪

Hi BlueSky!

We study large-scale biodiversity patterns, mostly of beetles 🪲.

We also develop methods and maintain betapart, an R package for beta diversity partitioning and distance-decay.

Here we explain why we are interested in Invertebrate Biogeography.

#Macroecology

A thread of #ConservationJobs (and career resources) in conservation-related science, policy, practice, communication, etc.

I'll add to it over time. Focus will be mostly in Canada, with occasional posts for other parts of the world.

Share job ads with me and I'll link here.

On International Day of Women in Science let's celebrate the life of Prof. Georgina Mace (1953–2020) who was instrumental in creating the Red List of endangered species which now underpins conservation around the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgin...

The evidence for Homo sapiens playing the dominant role in the global #megafauna #extinctions constitutes one of the clearest, well-supported patterns in #ecology.

Out now in @nature.com! Our comprehensive meta-analysis of global terrestrial and marine genetic diversity demonstrates rapid loss of genetic diversity and identifies conservation interventions that could mitigate this process
