For those who don't get the joke: Trump kindly asked Google Maps to rename the Gulf of Mexico. It shall soon be known as the Gulf of America. The US is now classified as a ‘sensitive country’ alongside China and Russia in Google.

Taxon-targeted conservation has broad reaching effects and directly connects to GBF and UNSDG targets: lnkd.in/gteGyVpt The interconnectedness of conservation efforts within socioenvironmental systems ultimately creates additional co-benefits across the social, ecological, and economic sectors.

Great paper surveying practices around occupancy modeling in ecology doi.org/10.1111/ecog... from @ben-r-goldstein.bsky.social & co. Not a flattering view -- from data collection to statistical methods to peer review we're falling short, but many actionable suggestions here!

How do ecologists estimate occupancy in practice?

Over 20 years ago, ecologists were introduced to the site occupancy model (SOM) for estimating occupancy rates from detection-nondetection data. In the ensuing decades, the SOM and its hierarchical m....

Absolutely huge news for amphibian conservation. The lethal fungus Bd has been causing huge and steady declines in frogs over the last decades, so seeing resistant populations establishing post-reintroduction is really fantastic. 🧪 🐸 🌎
