🦨 Ever wonder how skunks decide where to live in urban landscapes like Chicago? New research from @masonfidino.bsky.social, @lizalehrer.bsky.social, & @sbmagle.bsky.social from @lpzoo.org used nearly a decade of data to find out! 🦊🌍🧪 A 🧵

FINE: TL;DR 🦑🧪🌎 Plastic pollution is a problem. People should use less plastic when they can Straws became a culture-war flashpoint and are not the biggest source of plastic pollution. Everyone talks about this, especially solutions, wrong. Some people absolutely need plastic straws. More: 🧵

Can/should undergraduates engage with the primary literature in classes? ✅ Are there many articles appropriate for undergraduate learning? ❌ Am I frustrated by this every single semester? ✅ x1000 A solution: Publish a primer w/ @ijpsjournal.bsky.social! #PlantScience 🧪🌍 bsky.app/profile/ijps...

Where are all the field studies? This ⬇️ important but rather depressing paper describes how conducting, & crucially initiating, field studies is becoming harder & rarer. A short 🧵 (and a call for more fieldwork) www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Extinction of experience among ecologists
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Did you know that you can get trained in IUCN Red List assessment for free online? I have my undergrads do this as a semester-long assignment to understand policy-relevant science. You can do it too! 🧪🦑🌎 www.conservationtraining.org/course/index...

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

Advent Sci-Fact 4: New headlights hurt moths! Unlike us, moths can’t blink in bright light. Moths are more likely to fly erratically towards pulses of cool toned phosphor-LEDs, compared with warmer and RGB lights. Meaning new headlights are more harmful. Paper: tinyurl.com/29avcnnx #SciComm 🧪🌍
Diagram showing a moth flying towards a car with cool toned headlights, and a moth staying still next to a car with warm headlights. 

In the corner is a photograph of a cute yellow moth face on to the camera flapping it's wings. It is perched on someone's hand. 

Text reads: 
New headlights hurt moths!  Moths fly erratically towards cool phosphor LEDs, more than warm and RGB LEDs. 

In a bubble in the top right corner, text reads "Did you know? Many artifical lights are harmful to insects at night"
The background is black.

Want to fix a major invasive species problem on a river? You need software, you need data & it helps to have data visualisation. Are you a community group that looks after a river or any other local ecology? Get in touch and help me beta test & make this really useful for you!

The taxonomic biases in biodiversity data are growing over time. The amount of data we are collecting is growing, but the biases get bigger. We need to make a conscious effort to study the understudied! #SciComms #Science #Taxonomy 🧪 image from Troudet et al 2018 @natureportfolio.bsky.social
