Happy to announced that I have joinded the associate editors of the Journal of Applied Ecology @jappliedecology.bsky.social 🧪
Looking forward to specifically see applied conservation modelling and spatial planning for management papers submitted to the journal 🙂
Infrastructure for African mines destroying forests at 34 times the rate of the mines themselves

So honoured and grateful to SCB Europe for this award!
Like biodiversity, science is built on connections 🌱 I'm especially grateful to my mentors Piero Visconti @martinjung.eu & to many amazing collaborators who have shaped my work - this is very much a shared achievement!
New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
New work by my colleague Adrienne on a continental risk assessment of terrestrial wind-power deployment 💨🧪🦅
We used macroecological and trait-based approaches to identify areas of high risk to European birds.

The @ipbes.net spatial Planning and Connectivity assessment is now open for public (upon registration) review.
If you are working on conservation planning or connectivity modelling, have a look and let us know if there is something we missed.

New work testing how far we can go with sectoral partial equilibrium models in the forest sector 🌳🌲
We show economic costs of global forest protection may be overstated due to a lack of market feedbacks

New paper out, nicely led by @sophietudge.bsky.social as part of her @iiasa.ac.at YSSP 🧪
"Regional land use and land-use intensity effects on vertebrate biodiversity across Europe identified using species distribution models" doi.org/10.1007/s109...
