Thrilled to see the first #PhD chapter by @annaroennfeldt.bsky.social published in @natcomms.nature.com. This multi-region comparison shows that lack of #niche conservatism in #non-native #plants might be transient and potentially linked to dispersal limitations. doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Congrats @annaroennfeldt.bsky.social and thanks to wonderful co-authors Valén Holle, @katschiff.bsky.social Laure Gallien, Tiffany Knight, @patrickweigelt.bsky.social @dylancraven.bsky.social @jsarmentocabral.bsky.social
Restoring nature and reversing biodiversity loss are urgent societal challenges. Utrecht University invites applications for an Assistant Professor in Wildlife Ecology and Nature Restoration. In this role, you contribute to help solve these challenges through research and education by linking fundamental wildlife ecology to biodiversity recovery and nature restoration. As an Assistant Professor, you will join a young, enthusiastic team that is eager to make an impact. You will help strengthen the team’s mission to connect fundamental wildlife ecology with the challenges of nature restoration in human-dominated multifunctional forest landscapes, especially in north-western Europe. Your research will focus on restoration-relevant themes, such as wildlife responses to anthropogenic change, the effectiveness of conservation interventions, and the contribution of wildlife to biodiversity recovery and nature restoration. Close collaboration with colleagues within and beyond Utrecht University is an important part of this role, as well as building sustainable partnerships with conservation practitioners and policymakers. You will combine fieldwork, experiments and biomonitoring (e.g. using sensor technologies) with laboratory, statistical and theoretical approaches. There is ample opportunity to initiate research projects and to acquire funding. In education, you will teach in the Biology programs, develop and coordinate a new course, and supervise research projects of BSc, MSc and PhD students.
Are you a PhD-level #wildlife ecologist committed to research and education for #biodiversity and nature restoration?
Our group at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social has a #vacancy for an assistant professor!
Deadline for applications is February 19.
Please spread the word.

I’m glad I enjoy reading books to develop knowledge 📚 🤓 as well as doing massive rabbit-hole web searches that go on for days🐇
I'm very proud that one of the discoverers, Ricardo Plácido, of this beautiful new species is a good friend of mine since our undergraduate studies back at UFRPE, in Recife! He was always carrying his Helmut Sick of Brazilian Birds and now he added one species to the list!
In this game, the player needs to balance nature conservation with socioeconomic pressures. A great collaboration with the games engineers led by my former student Daniel Vedder!

Biodiversity policy needs to look forward, not just backward. 🌍
Our new PNAS piece argues that predictive models - like those used in climate science - are key to guiding effective conservation decisions.

Without forward-looking models, biodiversity policy risks missing the road to recovery.
Our new PNAS article calls for predictive tools and a World Biodiversity Research Programme to guide global action.
