You cannot miss this event in 2028! it’s being put together with lots of love 🫰🏽🦆🐦‍⬛🫐🐭🦌🌱

Great day in the field yesterday with @isatxu.bsky.social and our master's student Iñaki! We established the first part of a chronosequence to look at the dynamics of forest restoration in the Urdaibai biosphere reserve. Some decent native forest nearby will serve as a reference.

Had a wonderful time today chatting about science and our journeys as scientists with Irene Lopez de Vallejo on I2 (SER) @cadenasereuskadi.bsky.social Experiencing live radio for the first time! 🎙️Thanks Jon Egaña for such a great conversation!

🤍 being back in Germany to attend this wonderful workshop at @zif-bielefeld.bsky.social bringing together philosophers, computer scientists & ecologists to enhance ecological understanding and empower people to make informed decisions. Great to reconnect with colleagues and meet new brilliant minds✨

Happy to have contributed to this piece, the result of a collaborative effort during the Andina workshop led by @canobarbacil.bsky.social . We hope this analysis on the barriers to ecological research helps drive some real-world impact 🌎 😊

Happy to contribute to this special monograph on Ecology of Biological Invasions in @ecosistemas-aeet.bsky.social 🌿👾. A truly collaborative piece developed with wonderful colleagues!!

Back home after a wonderful week! Learning so much about metabarcoding 🧬thanks to the workshop organized by @nclneg.bsky.social, followed by inspiring plenaries, talks & posters! Loved catching up with 🫶🏼friends & meeting new generation of net ecologists. Already looking forward to the next one in 🇧🇷!

It’s the end of #EcoNet2025 and what better way to celebrate than an exploration of Bamburgh Castle and walk on the beach

From publishing my MSc work and my first PhD paper here, to now joining @oikosjournal.bsky.social editorial team! Happy to keep contributing to science with this great journal! 😊📄

Up now at #SIBECOLAEET2025 the thematic session I (@philmartin.bsky.social) & @isatxu.bsky.social organised on forest restoration and management. First up is Paula Feldman from the University of Coimbra talking about host plant and epiphyte interactions in restored forests in Galapagos.

Excited to be heading to #SIBECOL2025 early June! I'll be repping our team at BC3 & doing a BlueSky takeover for @jappliedecology.bsky.social. Come and talk to me about applied forest ecology, evidence synthesis, or about submitting a paper to the journal. (And don't be shy, I also speak Spanish!)

Congrats @annarl.bsky.social for your first PhD paper! Happy to see it out! 🫶🏼

Our last fieldtrip for the systematic sampling of biotic interactions of the #IslandLife project in Tierra del Fuego. Amazing landscapes and biodiversity plus a wonderful team of people😍 @isatxu.bsky.social @erc.bsky.social

Here’s sneak peak of our latest expedition to Cabo de Hornos. The biodiveristy, incredible, and crossing Beagle channel while being so close to Antartic was truly an experience. Now, still some days left to work in Navarino! 🪲🌱🐛🪰🕷️🌿🐧 @annatraveset.bsky.social

No More #Ecoflor2025

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all participants for their invaluable contributions. Together, we have advanced our understanding of floral ecology in an open and friendly environment.

We look forward to future collaborations and innovations.

Safe travels Ecoflorians!

On our way to #Ecoflor2025

✨Honored to have been part of @sarammendes.bsky.social PhD committee member, proudly representing Iberian female ecologists 👩🏽‍🎓💪🏾 Thanks for the kind invitation and these amazing days at the beautiful Coimbra Uni, filled with enriching discussions. All the best Sara! Your work is truly inspiring! 🌱🙌🏾

The great @isatxu.bsky.social was one of the speakers at today's DCV talks, presenting “Functional ecology in a changing world: understanding global change impacts on species interactions.” It was a fascinating talk!
