Big news! 🎉 My first PhD chapter has been published in @PLOSBiology, and it just made the cover! 🐦🌍Perfect time to dive into the key findings from our global study on sexual selection in birds. 🧵👇 📖 Read the paper: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Great to see our review on microclimate in ecology and biogeography out in its full glory. ❄️🔥🏔️🌳🌍 Big thanks to @juliakemppinen for expertly leading the (massive) team through this project! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…

✨PhD opportunity! 🌳🤖Could we use AI to support citizen scientists and improve biodiversity conservation? Help us find out in this PhD at @UK_CEH 📅Apply 27th Jan findaphd.com/phds/project/a…

Final version of this thing now published in @PLOSBiology, so ... some weekend reading. 🧵 Sexual selection (SS) is a major strand of evolutionary theory, but how and why it varies across species at global scales is poorly known. 1/9 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

We have a bunch of paid work coming up doing species identification work. If you can ID bats, birds or frogs from audio, plants from images, or mammals from camera traps - apply using your form and we will be in touch! 🐦🦇🐸🌿 researchgate.net/job/1013726_Ec…
