I’m delighted to share our new paper on the implications of marsh harrier hunting and diet on breeding waders, after this (and more) being the body of my MSc dissertation 9(!) years ago at @UniKent with @RSPBScience doi.org/10.1080/00063657.202… 1/9

NEW! We've created the most comprehensive map of England's #hedgerows to date!
💡 390,000km of hedgerow on field boundaries
📏 Depicts hedgerow length & height (for 1st time!)
🔎 Reveals areas with highest & lowest hedgerow densities

We used the universal law of human mobility to map #nature-based #recreation in the #UK: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. It also makes a great proxy for access to many other #ecosystemservices. @UK_CEH @BritishEcolSoc @Simon_Willcock @RedheadGIS @IPBES @LRidding

Very useful paper led by @OliJWilson here; happy to have been able to be a part of it, and to have been able to demonstrate the future use of @theNPMS #data for investigating climate change impacts. Thanks also @BBCRadio4 for having me on #Today to talk about it early this am
New paper from @sacrevert and me in @JAppliedEcology ! We looked at the exposure of the UK's habitats to 20th- and 21st-Century climate changes, and tried to figure out how well our ecological monitoring schemes can help us understand the impacts: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

🌾 Can we see spatial patterns in GB crop rotations?
🌾 How well can we predict the next crop in a rotation?

Historical data contradict the Habitat Amount Hypothesis
We find unexpected negative HA relationships for the 1930s (but positive in 2000s)
We suggest the HAH is undermined by confounding of HA with other landscape variables

Check out these fantastic new charts based on @PoMScheme FIT Counts from across the UK! They demonstrate the great variety of insects visiting flowers, and the value of typically ‘weedy’ plants for pollinators. #BeesNeeds
NEW on our website: to celebrate #BeesNeeds we've launched some interactive charts that show how bees and other #pollinators make use of different flowers, based on the results of all the FIT Counts that have been sent in - try them out at ukpoms.org.uk/flower-charts

Large-scale #restoration could be more economically valuable than intensive farming
Because many businesses rely on #ecosystemservices, restoration is more beneficial than expanding farming in Dorset
