We are growing our Associate Editor team #InsectConservationandDiversity! Applications open now!
We're particularly keen to hear from Indigenous, non-academic, non-English first language, women & LGBTQIA+ researchers in #insectecology #insectconservation https://resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/17524598/homepage/open-call-for-associate-editors

Excited to see this out in Insect Conservation and Diversity. Great work by #RoyalEntomologicalSociety
team! Over 200 entomologists collaborated in a multi-stage process to collate this set of priority challenges for research, funding and engagement in #entomology and #insectsciences #insectecology #insectconservation https://resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/icad.12637

New meta-analysis! Insect food availability is generally limiting for songbirds and #InsectDecline could have serious consequences for species that rely on insects as a food source http://doi.org/10.1111/ele.14178 #BirdConservation #InsectConservation

Found this pretty golden mantid lacewing (Spaminta minjerribae) in our lounge room. One of the many thousands of #ozinverts for which we have a name but very little knowledge of its biology and ecology. #insectconservation

These kind of studies never get as much attention as the flawed 'global linear decline' narrative. But they are a good reminder that there's a lot of ecological complexity involved in measuring insect trends & results of single studies don't apply globally #InsectConservation #InsectApocalypse #InsectDeclines https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10841-022-00445-9

Something I've been thinking about a lot lately... How do we encourage more #Ecology undergrad students to pursue #InsectConservation #research pathways?

Undergrad #ecoevo courses are often vertebrate/plant focused and #entomology skills are rarely taught #HigherEd #TeachingEcology https://ecologyisnotadirtyword.com/2022/10/24/encouraging-undergraduate-ecology-students-into-insect-research/

I'm still looking for a domestic (Aus/NZ) #PhD candidate interested in #invertebrates, #conservation, #EnvironmentalPolicy, #EcosystemServices! #FieldEcology project based in Armidale (Australia), working with private landholders and government stakeholders. Full scholarship with generous topup, start date negotiable #InsectConservation #CommunityEcology https://saundersecologylab.com/opportunities/

Trying my #introduction again with hashtags!

I work on #CommunityEcology #InsectConservation #PlantPollinator networks and the ecology of #EcosystemServices in #Agroecosystems #Wetlands and #Woodlands.

My blog #EcologyIsNotADirtyWord is 13 years old! https://ecologyisnotadirtyword.com/ #ScienceCommunication

I’m also a new mum struggling with returning to work and I’m keen to find more ways we can improve support and work conditions for #AcademicMums #AcademicParents #WomenInStem
