Meer dan 20 jaar lang bewaarde ik deze posters over mijn promotieonderzoek in het oerwoud van Frans Guyana.

Nu gooi ze ze weg - ik doe er immers niets mee. #ontspullen

Een heldhaftige overwinning van mijn ratio op het zogenaamde bezitseffect, het IKEA-effect én mijn emotionele gehechtheid. 🥲
Deze poster uit 1996 (?) op A0 formaat beschrijft de opzet van mijn promotie-onderzoek in Frans Guyana. Wageningen University heette nog Wageningen Agricultural University. Mijn begeleiders van toen zijn nu allemaal met pensioen. Deze poster uit 2001 op A0-formaat beschrijft één van de resultaten van mijn promotieonderzoek. Het was een samenvatting van één van mijn eerste artikelen: Jansen, P. A., Bartholomeus, M., Bongers, F., Elzinga, J. A., Ouden, J. D., & Van Wieren, S.E. (2002). The role of seed size in dispersal by a scatter-hoarding rodent. In Seed dispersal and frugivory: ecology, evolution and conservation. Third International Symposium-Workshop on Frugivores and Seed Dispersal, São Pedro, Brazil, 6-11 August 2000 (pp. 209-225). Wallingford UK: CABI publishing. https://scholar.archive.org/work/kcirzxq5azhptavl7zd7anjk5a/access/wayback/https://serval.unil.ch/resource/serval:BIB_1428495EBC48.P001/REF.pdf De laatste auteur, mijn begeleider Sip van Wieren die de gepensioneerde Pieter Ketner had vervangen, overleed eind 2022. Hij leed aan ALS.

My latest papers on beach biodiversity conservation. First, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, it focuses on misplaced dune restoration, which, by failing to respect open and early successional habitats, is driving the decline of beach-nesting birds #shorebirds #plovers

You have a PhD in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. That is impressive. But you obviously have a bug up your butt about docs & med students. So, as a scientist, how would you vote on RFK, Jr.?

This phytogeographical study of the montane scorpionfly Cerapanorpa obtusa provides insights into the importance of topographically rugged mountain systems in the #conservation of evolutionary diversity and endemic species.
doi.org/10.1111/jse....
#evolution #ecology #insects #BugSky #Entomology
These clade diagrams illustrate that C. obtusa originated from the Minshan Mountains, and currently consists of six genetically fragmented lineages that diverged 1.25–0.52 Ma. Four minor lineages (S1−S4) are confined to the topographically rugged Minshan Mountains, and two major lineages (NW and NE) are widely distributed in the northern MCC with relatively homogeneous landscapes.

'Is the audience gender-blind? Smaller audience in female talks highlights prestige differences in academia'

"Using long-term data (2008-2019) on talks (n=344) from a seminar series in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology" this preprint finds that "female speakers had smaller audiences…
Scientific figure from the linked article. It shows on the top that the female academic speakers attracted a smaller audience at talks than male speakers. This holds independent of the level of seniority of the speaker. Another plot at the bottom shows that female speakers do not differ from male speakers in their research interests and levels of expertise. A third plot shows that the gender difference in attendance holds independent of how productive the speaker is perceived to be.
