1. This is Piles Copse, the largest remaining fragment of high-ground temperate rainforest on Dartmoor. It’s a tiny speck of green in a dismal, human-made desert. Prepare yourselves for a story of breathtaking perversity, told in this thread. (There’s a one-page version at the bottom). 🧵
This study shows how we can rapidly generate and apply biodiversity knowledge in partnership with local communities to advance large-scale nature conservation priorities in a time of rapid #GlobalChange.
We linked #eDNA biosurvey and community-based monitoring data to assess #biodiversity in two functionally-connected groups: aquatic insects and aerial insectivores.
Really excited to share our #NewStudy in #ConservationBiology. We explored conservation prioritisation for aquatic insects and aerial insectivores to support #NatureBasedRestoration in the Wolastoq watershed (50,000sq. km.) in Atlantic Canada.

Restoring habitats is critical to support fish populations in Switzerland. 🐟Check out this interview by Uniaktuell with @conorwaldock.bsky.social and myself on how species distribution models can help us in identifying priority regions for conservation and restoration of fish habitats.
Zwei Fische sprechen miteinander. Ein Fisch sagt zum Anderen: Hey, wir haben jetzt unsere Namen bekommen! Der andere antwortet erfreut: Oh, toll, freut mich, du bist ...?
Die von Forschenden der @unibern.bsky.social @wyssacademy.bsky.social #NaturhistorischesMuseumBern
@eawag.bsky.social neu entdeckten Barbatula #Fischarten haben jetzt #Namen!
Sie heissen «fluvicola» und «ommata».

Die Schweiz darf sich über die Entdeckung zwei neuer Fischarten freuen. Entdeckt wurden sie von Bárbara Calegari von der @unibern.bsky.social im Rahmen des Projekts LANAT-3 im Auftrag der Wyss Academy for Nature, des Kantons Bern und des Bundesamts für Umwelt (BAFU).

To all nature lovers out there. Take part in naming two new fish species that were discovered in our research project in 🇨🇭 lakes and rivers. Great initiative led by the amazing Barbara Calegari. @unibern.bsky.social @wyssacademy.bsky.social @eawag.bsky.social 🐟🐟💧💧
Hi Erika, can you add me to the group?
Rauflihorn, Diemtigen, Berner Oberland ⛷️❄️❄️☀️
Hi Dezene, could you add me to the group if there is still room?
Hi, thanks for starting this pack! Can I join the group? 🐟🐟
Can I join the group? 🐟
Hi Jim, great resource! Could you add me to the group?
Ja bin schon Österreicher, aber zur Zeit mehr in der Schweiz aktiv. Stimmt schon 😅
Great Daniel :) It would like to be added to the group!
We are sampling with our team deep-water sculpins in Lago Maggiore this week. Amazing diversity at a beautiful location. 🐟🚤 #freshwaterbiodiversity
Hi Sarah, wär super wenn du mich hinzufügen könntest! Danke :)
How can we deconstruct the natural and anthropogenic drivers of species' geographic distributions?
Within the areas where a species could naturally live, where do humans impact them the most?

Great Martin :) I would like to be added to the group! Thanks
New paper alert! We show that the joint consideration of barriers and species past, current and future distributions are critical for river connectivity restoration plans to ensure the recovery and persistence of riverine fish diversity in Switzerland. 🐟🐟

Hi everyone :) I'm moving away from X in the hope for a nicer community here at Bluesky. I'm interested in content related to biodiversity and conservation. Follow me back if you are interested in river science and restoration 🐟🐟
