(1/5) Four papers on various aspects of land systems in eastern #Madagascar came out over the last few days - very exciting!

A #LandUseScience thread of four threads on #EcosytemServices, #Ecology, #Conservation, & #Hydrology.

👇👇👇

Good study designs are important in #Ecology, #Conservation, & #LandUseScience!

Luckily there are some great (new) papers on the topic:

This seminar looks super interesting!

The @FuncAgroEco Seminar is open - just write them for the link to join!

1/16 Great to see our paper out in @Biotropica!

We compare #bird diversity across a land-use gradient in #Madagascar – with a focus on vanilla agroforests of contrasting land-use history.

A thread 🧵! 👇👇👇

Global #food production increase driven mainly by yield gains in 80s and 90s but much larger role of cropland expansion since the early 2000s.

I just put all our @Diversity_Turn plots on google earth to double-check that the coordinates are correct before entering them in our database.

So much fun looking at these landscapes from above knowing them on the ground!

I started preparing my #BES2018 talk about the impacts of the current #vanilla boom in NE #Madgascar on #biodiversity!

Excited to talk about my PhD research soon!

I just submitted my abstract for #BES2018!

Very much looking forward to engage with #LandUseScience, #ornithology and #ecoacoustics researchers!

First week of #Marojejy #fieldwork successfully completed at Boangabe!

Thanks to the amazing team of researchers, assistants, guides and porterts!

Solo: Developing a Cheap and Flexible Bioacoustic Tool for Ecology and Conservation Post provided by Robin Whytock Ecologists have long been fascinated by animal sounds and in recent decades there’s been growing interest in the field of ‘bioacoustics’. This has partially been driv…

Great @MethodsEcolEvol blogpost by @RWhytock on the #Solo Audio recorder featuring my customized version.
