- Amazing work by @andrewabraham.bsky.social! Check out this study on how salt can influence the distribution of large animals.
- Earth's largest land animals are limited by salt. Sodium availability constrains the density and distribution of elephants, giraffes and rhinos across Africa, and offers a new explanation for the so-called 'missing megaherbivores'. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Free access: rdcu.be/eTPY2
- Reposted by Celesté MaréThrilled to chair @celestemare.bsky.social's PhD defense today! 🎓 We're diving into the fascinating role of fire and grazing in shaping carbon dynamics in African savannas. Part of the work @econovoau.bsky.social 🔥🦓🌿 #PhDDefense #Ecology #AfricanSavannas
- Amazing blog by @sonakshis.bsky.social about what Interdisciplinary Conservation looks like. Her words eloquently captures what the 2025 ICN workshop felt like. I am thrilled to be working with Sonakshi as we develop our outputs from this collaboration!
- Great blog to start the week: reflections from @sonakshis.bsky.social on the 2025 Interdisciplinary Conservation Network. "The highlight of ICN for me was the people. Their presence reminded me of what interdisciplinarity truly looks like and what it takes to build it." iccs.org.uk/what-interdi...
- Extremely proud to have been part of the 2025 ICN workshop held in George, SA! This collaboration between NMU and @ox.ac.uk brought young conservationists together to discuss important topics in #conservation. Visit @iccs.bsky.social for updates and blog posts from participants. I am inspired! ❤️
