#BES2018 was amazing!

Very high quality of talks, great chats with fellow ecologists and an impeccable organisation (except the conference dinner :-))!

Thanks @BritishEcolSoc!

Best paper titles of the year #BES2018

Potential trade-offs between economy and ecology

Today at #BES2018 Nature and Humans Sessiom

Are you interested in Land Use Change, Madagascar or bird biodiversity?
Or maybe you just like vanilla 🍦?

Come and see my talk at #BES2018!

🌳🐦🌳🌾🌳🦉🌳🇲🇬🌳

I am on the train to #BES2018! From Göttingen to Birmingham via Frankfurt, Paris and London!

Looking forward to talk about Birds in Vanilla Plantations on Tue, 18 Dec, 12:15-12:30, Hall 8a, S23: Nature and Humans.
@BioGeoMacro @Diversity_Turn

I started preparing my #BES2018 talk about the impacts of the current #vanilla boom in NE #Madgascar on #biodiversity!

Excited to talk about my PhD research soon!

@BritishEcolSoc @Diversity_Turn @BioGeoMacro @Saskia_Droege

#BES2018 talk accepted!

Very happy to travel to Birmingham to talk about the @Diversity_Turn project, #birds, #vanilla and shifting cultivation in NE Madagascar

Who else is going to be there?

I just submitted my abstract for #BES2018!

Very much looking forward to engage with #LandUseScience, #ornithology and #ecoacoustics researchers!

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 #altmetricsashtag/altmetrics" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#altmetricsashtag/altmetrics" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#altmetrics in #ornithologyshtag/ornithology" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#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

Just arrived from @Scienceposters our @IBIS_journal #TheTweetingBird #socialmedia in #ornithology poster for #BES2018 Find out about how w/ #altmetrics we linked social media activity to increased #citations for avian science papers | Poster D2.8 Tues 18 Dec 1730-1900 | #SciComm

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 #ornithologyshtag/ornithology" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#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 |...

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...

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...

Andrew Watkinson receiving Honorary Membership of British Ecological Society for lifetime linking science and policy. Well deserved. #BES2018

Emma Sayer awarded BES award for enormous set of roles for the society including taking wonderful Sex, Bugs and Rock n Roll to music festivals. What a star! #BES2018

Ken Thompson giving typically thoughtful and entertaining ‘Year in Ecology’ plenary and saying this is his favourite paper of the year #BES2018

WARNING stay clear of Wiley stand at #BES2018 unless you want to be humiliated by evil ecologists.
