Looking forward to being part of the RGS-IBG Melbourne Hub on August 30 https://www.rgs.org/research/annual-international-conference/planning-your-attendance/hubs-at-the-conference/. I'll be chairing a great ECA panel on 'Impactful research careers in a time of converging crises.’ Then we join the main conf later for Chair's Plenary with Lauren Rickards and Svenja Keele. #ECR #ECA #flyingless #RGSIBG23 #ecrchat
Royal Geographical Society - Hubs at the conference

We are piloting new approaches at this year's conference.

Citizen Conservation:

Unsere Machbarkeitsstudie zur Rettung der Feuersalamander in Bayern hat eine Menge Presseresonanz bekommen. Gut so, denn das Thema brennt lichterloh. šŸ¦ŽšŸ”„šŸš’

Lurchi in Not - Citizen Conservation

Eine Epidemie rafft ganze Populationen unseres heimischen Feuersalamanders dahin. Wir kƶnnen ihn retten, wenn wir eingreifen: durch QuarantƤne, Therapie, Erhaltungszucht. Jetzt.

Citizen Conservation

#introduction Okay, after some fiddling I have consolidated my Project Mushroom account and my previous account on a federated server here, so hello (again)!

I am a freelance science writer based in eastern Washington. I mostly write about birds. Other interests: #knitting, #nativeplants, #parenting, #reading.

Help our threatened species hop to No.1 in the ARIA charts!

Having sent ā€˜Birds’ soaring to No.2 on the ARIA charts ahead of ABBA and Adele in 2021, ā€˜Songs of Disappearance’ is back with an album featuring 43 of our most threatened #frogs

The title track celebrates the incredible diversity of the Australian #soundscape and highlights what we stand to lose without taking action.

Be immersed in a chorus of croaks, singing from all corners of #Australia.

Send our threatened species shrieking into the charts!

Songs of Disappearance

Hi! #introduction

I'm an acoustic ecology professor at UNH.

Our lab studies how #animals use sound to sense the environment and #acoustic approaches for #population estimation and #phenology.

We combine mobile platforms like #drones and #falconry w/ thermal imaging and acoustic sensors. A big push is developing #open-source approaches for monitoring and #conservation.

#Bats are my main jam, but we have new projects with #frogs, #penguins and #moose.

Excited to build connections here!

The mountain mist frog, a species once found across two-thirds of Australia’s wet tropics, has been declared extinct on the International Union for Conservation of Nature red list. ā€œFor tens of thousands of years there were these little frogs that were calling their hearts out in these #rainforests and now it’s silent. We have a terrible track record on frog conservation in Australia.ā€

Experts describe it as a ā€˜beautiful endemic rainforest species’, one of several that have not been seen for decades
