Happy 95th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough! A good egg indeed. Thank you for everything you do to celebrate and share the wonders of planet Earth and for shining a light on the threats to the natural world.
Many thanks to all our speakers for #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3 for their fascinating and diverse contributions during the session! So we now have an hour’s break for lunch. See you all back at 14:00 for #UEACEEC21 #Sesh4
A big thanks to @Gauldblimeyjet for a great thread and for sharing some amazing large-scale data on this topic for #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3 If anyone has questions for @Gauldblimeyjet please reply to her thread
To wrap up #Sesh3 #UEACEEC21 we have Jethro Gauld @Gauldblimeyjet @ueaenv PhD student, previously with @DirectEcology, who is using new tracking technologies to study impacts of wind turbines and power lines on birds. Jethro will talk about bird-energy infrastructure conflicts.
To wrap up #Sesh3 #UEACEEC21 we have Jethro Gauld @Gauldblimeyjet @ueaenv presenting slightly ahead of the scheduled 12.45 due to battery issues :-)
A quick reminder that in a few minutes our next speaker @Gauldblimeyjet will be talking about bird-energy infrastructure conflicts #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3
A big thanks to @Barnsley_SL for a fascinating and spectacular thread for #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3 If anyone has questions for @Barnsley_SL please reply to her thread
Next in #Sesh3 #UEACEEC21 is Sarah Barnsley @Barnsley_SL final year @biouea PhD student working with crop production specialists @Hutchinsons_Ag on habitat management for #pollinators in UK agricultural landscapes. Sarah will talk about mapping floral resources for pollinators.
A quick reminder that in 5 minutes our next speaker @Barnsley_SL will be talking about mapping nectar-rich floral resources at 12.30 #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3
A huge thanks to @tomfinch89 for a brilliant thread on the land sharing vs land sharing issue for #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3 If anyone has questions for @tomfinch89 please reply to his thread
Welcome back everyone for #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3
First up is our external plenary for #Sesh3 #UEACEEC21 Tom Finch @tomfinch89 Senior Conservation Scientist @RSPBScience. His research spans ecological enhancement of farmland and ways to minimise its footprint and spare wilder habitats. Tom’s talk is on conservation trade-offs
For #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3 it’s a pleasure to welcome our three speakers for another great line-up of talks. Make sure you engage with our speakers by asking questions and leaving comments by replying to their threads.
A quick reminder that in 5 minutes we’ll be starting #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3 at 12.00 on the theme of Wildlife in Human Landscapes
We have our very own temperate #rainforest here in the UK. Also known as Atlantic or Celtic rainforest, this special habitat is incredibly rare. In fact, it's thought to be more threatened than tropical rainforest. Learn more this #IntlForestDay 🌳➡️ woodlandtru.st/l5c5t

The per capita emissions at low incomes are so small that you could add billions of people and it would hardly dent global CO₂. I go through some number-crunching where I imagine adding 10 billion. Hardly makes a difference. 2/

1/ #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3 Sadly no free bar this year, but great to be back at CEEC Rebellion - one of the highlights of my time at @biouea. The next 11 tweets will outline some of the work I’ve done since, with @RSPBScience and @CamZoology (📷 by @dannihinchy from Rebellion 2014)
1/ #UEACEEC21 #Sesh3 The UK has an enormous range of #pollinator species, including ~270 #bee species. They all need food/nesting resources available throughout the foraging season and well dispersed within the landscape to cover foraging ranges that vary hugely 🐝🦋🪰
Missing the #UEACEEC21 biscuits this year. I have managed to find quite a good stash at home though... What's everybody else got? #Rebellionbiscuits
#UEACEEC21 #Sesh4 2.5 million years ago a speciation event began across an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean…. Discover how colonisation, gene flow and adaptation shaped evolution across these islands (A thread, 1/6)🦤🧬🦠🏝🐦🤥 doi/10.1098/rsos.201146

5/ #UEACEEC21 #Sesh2 Breeding sites that are good for resident trends & productivity (but less so for survival) are good for migrants. Actions to boost productivity should boost local migrant (& resident) populations, despite survival being impacted by conditions elsewhere.
4/13 #UEACEEC21 #SESH2 We used a multispecies occupancy model to correct false negatives, which can happen in many ways: not fed on by leeches, leeches not collected, DNA amplification failure, incomplete reference database. Here is an occupancy-corrected map of the leopard cat.
1/6 #UEACEEC21 #Sesh1 Ageing is inevitable for most species and while biogerontologists seek to extend healthspan, the evolution of ageing remains a paradox. Classical theory proposes that organisms age due to trade-offs between a disposable soma and an immortal germline.
