I’ll be sharing the preliminary results and recommendations from this part of my research in an upcoming online workshop 27th November, 1pm (UK time).

We conducted a systematic review, surveys, and interviews to find out:
🌳 What methods are specialists currently using to investigate biodiversity in forests?
🪳 What data do these methods provide about which types of creatures?
🔍 What methods and data are not being used and why? 🧵 [3/6]

I’m a PhD researcher. As one part of my research, I am trying to find out how we can better include shadow diversity in the way we think about and conserve forest biodiversity, and whether it’s useful/possible to include shadow diversity at all. 🧵 [2/6]

I am new to Bluesky and it is a bit 😵‍💫 I may be pilfering some of your wise tips from here once I find my feet ☺️
