Have you ever wanted to know where in the Pilbara you might be able to find suitable roosting and foraging habitat for threatened bats 🦇? Well our new spatial tool will be able to help! Just out in Biological Conservation with @robynshaw.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Modeling complex habitat use for threatened species decision-making in a landscape with competing ecological and economic values
Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in conservation; however, their uptake in decision-making can be limited when they fail to reflect …

I’m loving #ICCB2025 catchups with #ConservationGenetics friends - like lunch with this lovely group of people ☺️ @drrebeccajordan.bsky.social @kymottewell.bsky.social @hernmoral.bsky.social @cegrueber.bsky.social @brennaforester.bsky.social @robynshaw.bsky.social @coalitioncongen.bsky.social

Global meta-analysis shows action is needed to halt genetic diversity loss - Nature
A comprehensive meta-analysis of global terrestrial and marine genetic diversity covering more than three decades of research demonstrates rapid loss of genetic diversity and identifies conservation interventions that could mitigate this process.

Congratulations to @robynshaw.bsky.social, @cegrueber.bsky.social, and too many other friends to list here on this important paper in @nature.com on the global extent of genetic diversity loss. It was a pleasure discussing it w/ Elizabeth Pennisi from @science.org. www.science.org/content/arti...

Wide range of Earth’s species are showing a decline in diversity
The loss of genetic variation means species may be less resilient to climate change and other stressors

And a note to all authors in #consgen and #evolution: REPORT your standard errors, variance or confidence intervals in the papers for every summary stat that you provide! In the meta-analyses we had to skip thousands of papers for this reason.

Thrilled to see our paper out in @nature.com! Huge thanks to @cegrueber.bsky.social @katefarquharson.bsky.social & the core team for a mammoth effort over 6yrs! Privileged to work with 57 scientists who spent many hours screening papers & more. Missing the late Mike Bruford-who helped inspire it all
