12 Months in Ecology - a reading list of key papers from 2018 from #BES2018 vía @wordpressdotcom
#BES2018 was amazing!
Very high quality of talks, great chats with fellow ecologists and an impeccable organisation (except the conference dinner :-))!
Thanks @BritishEcolSoc!
Really interesting talk by @nhcooper123 on sexual bias in museum collections. It has implications for how we use the museum collections to explore different temporal and spatial patterns @hjwood81 #BES2018
Bats maps and climate. Using museum collections to understand effects of landscape and climate change @hjwood81 . Last of the talks from @LandscapeSthlm at #BES2018 @BolinCentre
Looking forward to most of this session... #bes2018
WARNING stay clear of Wiley stand at #BES2018 unless you want to be humiliated by evil ecologists.
Analysing alien establishment at the species level is a bad idea #BES2018 - to see why, click below:

Fun artwork by @AdamLovasKiss at #BES2018 summarising our research on #seeddispersal by #ducks
Ken Thompson giving typically thoughtful and entertaining ‘Year in Ecology’ plenary and saying this is his favourite paper of the year #BES2018
Best paper titles of the year #BES2018
How to clear out a room full of ecologist quicker than a fire alarm. Throw in some fake Bayern ooompa music and a girl with mini Drindl dress showing her bum. #BES2018 #BESFEST
A lovely day, talking ecology, hearing about interesting science and catching up with some old friends #BES2018 (despite a malevolent virus trying to spoil it for me). Should really do this every year...
I should have asked earlier, but if anyone is able to do a count of posters with social media tags on (and overall number of posters) at #BES2018 poster session this pm, please complete this ongoing survey we’re doing...
ICYMI I’m unable to present my #BES2018 poster (D2.8) #TheTweetingBird: its rise, relevance and impact in #ornithology this evening b/c I’m unwell. But you can view it via https://www.bou.org.uk/social-media/ and you here it is in tweet form...
Striking difference in body size over time. Both male frogs and same age An effect of climate change? Body size change with temperature and body size affects almost all aspects of life. @DrCurtisHorne @hjwood81 #BES2018
Strong overlap in effects of marine and freshwater birds in terrestrial ecosystems revealed in our talks #BES2018 @BES_AquaEco @ebdonana @UoMSEES @ajgreen_lab
@DrCurtisHorne getting to grips with interspecific variation in the effects of warming on body size (adaptation and plasticity) #BES2018
@tnewbold31 assessing combined effects of land-use change and climate change on bumblebee communities, with implications for crop production #BES2018
Our first finding "When you log forest the trees become shorter" fundamental 😁 insights by David Coomes #BES2018
Avian researchers now regularly promote their published research on Twitter and their individual impact/contribution can be measured using #altmetrics (1). Research institutes can use @altmetric data to track the reach of their published research (2). #BES2018
Using @altmetric data we found that Twitter contributes 73% of all #altmetrics in #ornithology. For avian researchers, contributing to their own articles' #altmetrics is easy using #socialmedia which accounts for 85% of overall #altmetrics across #ornithology articles. #BES2018
Each media is ranked based on reach/audience and scores accordingly (1). Digital tools built in to online papers allow for instant access/sharing of articles w/ @Altmetric Attention Score of article clear to see (2). #BES2018 #scicomm #altmetrics
The rise of Twitter as a tool for researchers can be tracked by the growth of @IBIS_journal followers (largest #ornithology society journal account on Twitter) and use by delegates at BOU conferences. The introduction of #altmetrics in 2014 saw a huge increase in users. #BES2018
Twitter is #socialmedia platform of choice in #ornithology. The #ornithology tag has global daily reach of >1m (1). Our Twitter community is large enough to hold global Twitter conferences which have wider participation/reach and are greener than face-to-face events (2) #BES2018
📣 I'm unable to present my poster D2.8 (w/ @tomfinch89 @Nina_OHanlon) #TheTweetingBird: its rise, relevance and impact in #ornithology this evening at #BES2018 due to illness 😷☹️ So, here it is a tweet thread! Full poster can be viewed via https://dir.lat/rv1Nj6 |...
Getting a bit star struck by these Ecological Greats at #BES2018 today. I asked what they were taking to halt the ageing process, and am happy to report it's fresh air and red wine.
"We're all temporal ecologist now" @IceAgeEcologist. Not paleoecologist or ecologist #BES2018
Does community forest management reduce deforestation and improve wellbeing in #Borneo?
@mattstruebig says "kind of" #BES2018
Very nice talk by @HenPringle on the effects of alien game bird releases in the UK on native predatory bird populations. Interested to see countrywide data on the distribution of numbers being reared... #BES2018
