Are animals tolerant to people also more tolerant to other possible threats? Twitterless Yuval Zukerman found out (using very imaginative ways) that for the #Nubianibex the answer is yes. Just published in People and Nature besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa… #conservation #HWC #ibexarecool

To support endangered #vultures populations, feeding stations are used to increase safe food availability. korin reznikov shows how the properties of these stations shapes the post-fledging movement of Egyptian Vultures. Just published in Ornithological Applications bit.ly/433Y9PT

Our latest paper is out in Journal of Experimental Biology showing that during heatwaves sublethal temperatures can yet be harmful if they inflict reproductive costs to insects. Great team effort Tom Ratz and TJ Chechi, Ph.D.! journals.biologists.com/jeb/article-ab…

Expansion of settlements and agriculture in #desert habitats may initially seem to provide an oasis of resources in an otherwise stark environment Certified Bird Lover shows that for the #ArabianBabbler, the reality is just the opposite Uri Roll Behavioral Ecology bit.ly/43WZwjF

🧵Check out our preprint where we discuss the opportunities - as well as challenges - of AI to improve evidence synthesis in conservation science, with relevance also for the disciplines of ecology and evolution more broadly. 1/2

6/6 Our paper offers recommendations for conducting reviews using AI, encouraging appropriate scrutiny, transparency, and human-machine collaboration.

The number of AI tools that can be used to synthesize evidence in conservation is growing daily. How can we use these tools to improve systematic reviews and maps, and what are the dangers? This is the product of a wonderful workshop made possible by Monash University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev

A new article in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, co-authored by SEI's Biljana Macura, explores how #AI and large language models can boost #EvidenceSynthesis in biodiversity conservation. AI could address funding challenges & improve decision-making. Explore 👉 buff.ly/3xe8Y6q

Do you have a PhD in #acoustics or bioacoustics and you want to use that knowledge for conservation? I have an open #postdoc position for an exciting new project on the impacts of anthropogenically-generated infrasound on wildlife. Come join our lab!

PhD opportunity alert 🚨 I am looking for a movement ecologist that has experience with analyzing large sets of movement data to join my lab for a PhD project aimed at taking a multi-species approach and using large sets of animal movement data to improve conservation planning

New paper led by the incredible Yuval Zukerman People and Nature. We found that endangered mountain #gazelles shifted their activity to the night when close to #hiking and #bicycle trails, increasing their overlap with their predator, the golden #jackal. rb.gy/zaofhc

Proud to have been part of a multi-agency experts committee on the effects of #noise pollution on the natural environment, along with Yael Lehnardt. Organized by האגודה לאקולוגיה and המשרד להגנת הסביבה - Environmental Protection. Here's the report (in Hebrew): gov.il/he/pages/quiet… Now we need to implement it!

What do conservation practitioners and researchers need in order to help them find relevant information and tools? Without addressing the barriers to accessing knowledge, effective conservation solutions will be ignored. frontiersin.org/journals/conse… #integrative_conservation_clinic

In our latest paper in Evolution Letters, with @ChangHan Dr Diana Robledo-Ruiz 🍉 @PacoGarciaGonzalez and Niels Dingemanse, we used indirect genetic effects to study mate choice evolution in field crickets. If you happen to be Evolution Meetings on Saturday I'll talk more about it! doi.org/10.1093/evlett…
