- Reposted by Eugenio CarlonOur new paper in @globalchangebio.bsky.social: artificial light at night creates an ecological trap for wild reef fish. Settlement ↑ under artificial light (up to 8× higher), but survival ~50% lower due to predation, disrupted settlement timing, and altered metabolic rhythms: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

- Reposted by Eugenio CarlonIn our new paper, we show that native trees, particularly oaks, are crucial to support blue tits reproduction, likely via increasing preferred insect prey. Very relevant for urban planning. Leveraging 9 years of data from our Glasgow Urban Gradient study system. Led by @clairebranston.bsky.social!

- Reposted by Eugenio CarlonGreat experience attending #BES2025 this week and presenting my poster. Very grateful to see my latest findings featured by @britishecologicalsociety.org. More updates on this work and on our owl project coming in 2026 🦉💡🚗 #owls #ecology #RaptorResearch

- Very interesting new research presented at BES by Giuseppe Orlando and the GTOP @glasgowtawnyowlprj.bsky.social ! 🦉🌃💡❓ -- @britishecologicalsociety.org @dmdominoni.bsky.social
- Tawny owls normally rely on sound to hunt, but new research being presented today at #BES2025 finds that owls in Glasgow are adapting to noisy roads by using street lights to hunt. www.britishecologicalsociety.org/tawny-owls-a...
- New systematic review from @johankjensen.bsky.social and collegues* on the growing trend of "neophobia". Sounds like a great read! -- *Anna S. Persson, Masashi Soga
- As researchers, we often frame human-nature relationships as positive, but we have overlooked the opposite: biophobia. In our systematic review, we outline the phenomenon of growing numbers of people feeling fear, aversion or disgust toward nature: doi.org/10.1002/fee....

- Reposted by Eugenio Carlon🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.

- It is amazing to see holistic ecology research inciting integration of social sciences and human and indigenous perspectives. Not only as environmental modulators/affectors but as integral stakeholders. 🤝🌱🌊
- The paper includes novel interdisciplinary approaches useful in exploring the circular seabird economy. Including #remotesensing and #omics tools. So this will be a great read for many! 🛰️🧬
