So enjoyed the BES/SFE2 #EAB2021 conference in Liverpool, which was intellectually exciting, socially distanced, mask wearing and fun. Thanks to the star BES team and volunteers, and especially the ever efficient conference manager, Amy Everard. Hope the next one is easier.

I found a friend @every_heron I wish I could have taken him home

I hope everyone enjoyed #EAB2021 as much as I do, no matter in Liverpool or remotely. As part of the Events Committee of @BritishEcolSoc, I would appreciate any feedback so we will do better. Make everyone count, make #ecology count. See you in Edinburgh for #BES2022.

I met many old and new friends here #EAB2021. My lovely Oxford mates, friends from #BES2019, and many more. I am proud of your achievements. I also got many new insights and collaboration opportunities, which are truly valuable.

And I got so many valuable feedback and compliments for my talk and chairing - many of you came to me in person or messaged me. They are very #empowering and #motivational. You are making our community a positive environment. #EAB2021

I’m heading back to Oxford now from #EAB2021. I enjoyed the entire conference very much and I couldn’t imagine all the hard work and last-minute changes that the wonderful teams @BritishEcolSoc and @sfecologie had to deal with. You made this possible.

The landscape ecologists from @LandscapeSthlm @Stockholm_Uni at the #EAB2021 @BritishEcolSoc We have enjoyed ourselves and b will see you in Edinburgh 2022 with a bigger delegation #Liverpool

Very sorry to miss the @BritishEcolSoc #EAB2021 conference - given local guidance, complex Christmas plans & specific circumstances we decided not to travel. Following thread will share some great work from DPhil students @_AnettKiss_ @AndreaEstandia @cjonesyyyy @Joe_Woodman1999

Pierre-Henri Gouyon telling the story of how science is at war with industries - from tobacco to pesticide.

And how blind we scientist are to it.

How does forest border structure influence bats and their prey? Come and chat with @hjwood81 #EAB2021 #bats @LandscapeSthlm @Stockholm_Uni @BolinCentre

Come and chat with Daniela Gusconi about Below ground fungal communities #EAB2021 @Stockholm_Uni @LandscapeSthlm

This would be a great kitschy photo is someone could remove the dots #EAB2021 #Liverpool #Mersey

Much enjoying the #EAB2021 excellent workshop organised by Applied Ecological Solutions ⁦on Creating and navigating successful co-designed research opportunities. However distracted by the butterfly - does mimic a twig and drip tip?

Looking forward to my #EAB2021 talk tomorrow morning 9:00 am in Room 4B.

I will talk about #agroforestry and the importance of considering land-use history, drawing from examples in #vanilla, #coffee, and #cocoa.

🌞🌞🌞 It's the first talk slot of the day 🌞🌞🌞

I am speaking at Ecology Across Borders 2021. Please check out my talk if you're attending the event! #EAB2021 - via #Whova event app

The Winter King, the Wren, for me the epitome of winter birds of the British countryside. Especially at the #EAB2021

So many great talks despite cancellations! So hard to choose what to listen to. I need a split body rather than a split personality #EAB2021

The answer is ~30%. This number was even higher at 40% between 2009-13. Arguably it is the world’s largest wildlife crime. (Source: @UNODC World Wildlife Crime Report 2020). Check out @APFORGEN about what @OxfordBiology @MacKay_Lab is doing to conserve #rosewood. #EAB2021

Sam Turvey argues that house sparrow arrived when farming arose in Europe and great bustard recent species. Also claims bison never present but steppe bison was (bones I found in local gravel pit were identified as bison - must recheck).#EAB2021

Thoughtful talk by Kevin Gaston on personalised ecology, including that most of the appreciation of nature is through a few individuals and small component of nature delivers much of experiences. Argues when restoring need to consider how persons ecology’s affected. #EAB2021

Regardless how many times I gave a talk and how many preparations and practice, adrenaline rush is still very real. But I made it #EAB2021! Thanks for listening and please do get in touch for any discussion! 😉 (📸: @LGuillardin)

Rosewood is the largest wildlife crime. More than 30% of known wildlife crime. Poached more than elephants.

Happy to have made it to #EAB2021 in Liverpool!

Illegal wildlife trade is worth between US$7 to $23 billion annually. How much of this trade is in #rosewood? You will find the answer in my talk #EAB2021 at 10:45 today in Room 3B. #wildlife #conservation #genomics

SFE2 awarded well deserved Grand Prix Prize to Sandra Lavorel. So impressed that this traditionally includes a special treat -in this case climbing the mountain of her choice! Sandra is now giving excellent opening plenary at #EAB2021

Why Ecology Across Borders #EAB2021? Jane Memmott: “#Climate change and #biodiversity don’t respect borders.” Most of our problems are across borders, and we need people across borders to find the solutions.

I made it. Now it's for real
