What do this👇 lovely plant, lemur, and petrel have in common? They have populations where individuals were monitored for decades - and now provide amazing resources to compare complex responses of populations to threats. So, go beyond “it’s context dependent” to find common patterns.
🚨 Job alert 🚨 Postdoc position in ecological forecasting 📈 as part of the Horizon Europe OSCARS call. The postdoc will be based in lovely Sevilla (fantastic place to live) and will include working closely with several European forecasting projects. Apply by Dec 11! 🌎🧪 globalchangeeco.com/jobs

Are you involved in ecological forecasting in Europe?
We’re mapping forecasting applications across the continent — from SDMs to observatories with predictive potential.
Our goal: make EU forecasting more connected and identify both immediate and long-term forecasting potential.

It’s a great initiative! Submit your projects

A technology feature in Nature describes how ‘digital twins’ of real-world objects are moving from manufacturing to wildlife management and how it’s helping ecologists, including predicting migration patterns. 🧪

Crazy!
Hot wings coming up! - i.e., brown rats hunt bats IN FLIGHT.

While this has serious conservation implications for urban bats, I can't help but be amazed by the rats' dexterity and adaptability.

Plants may seem to do well under anthropogenic land use, but add climate change to the mix of stressors and it becomes clear that many species are hanging in by a thin thread
🔥 A new study shows a higher vulnerability of a fire-adapted subshrub to climate change in anthropogenic Mediterranean habitats, emphasising the need for more demographic studies in human-modified habitats🌊

Fantastic piece by @hg-richardson.bsky.social. The crane example is just cool, and you can find more info about the Doñana one here: globalchangeeco.com/icom (soon to move to its own website), with @lifewatcheric.bsky.social
📢 How can "digital twins" help with wildlife management?

This article in Nature highlights several examples — one of them is Doñana National Park, where a complex digital twin is being built to mirror its ecosystems and support data-based conservation. 🌿🦩

I am really proud of this study! It was led by an amazing ECR, highlights the work of a wonderful team of co-authors, and has resulted in a database of mechanistic demographic models currently being expanded to include underrepresented taxa to do comparative forecasts: github.com/MariaPaniw/C...
A study of how 41 plant and animal species react to climate change highlights the complexity of density feedbacks, in which population reductions lead to an easing of competition for the remaining individuals. In PNAS Nexus: https://ow.ly/xQMz50X6h6s

🔵 Nuestro último estudio revela que el 74% de los lobos que mueren en Europa y Norteamérica lo hacen por causas humanas. En Europa es el 86%.

👉La caza (legal e ilegal) es la causa del 60% de las muertes de lobos. Esta cifra asciende al 70% en Europa.

This resonates with me while trying to establish a CMR protocol for dung beetles! 🪲 The more you talk to people, the more they tell you it’s impossible for most insects because of extremely low recapture rates… but it’s one of those negative results everyone just buries! A sort of unspoken rule

I'd also like to highlight that the brilliant Eva Conquet just published a detail account of how one of the study species in this review, the dewy pine - seemingly adapted to land use change - is showing signs of maladaptation under climate change: doi.org/10.1111/1365... 🧪🌎
