#BES2019
Some little retreat tour after the conference #BES2019. The scenery and landscape here are just stunning! Super freezing weather though, I guess I will just stay being a tropical ecologist.

Just got my talk accepted "When does habitat fragmentation increase biodiversity?: a modelling study" at #BES2019!

@BritishEcolSoc What is the plan for the conference meal this year?

I'm hiding my talk on the top floor all the way along (I'm not sure what lays beyond).

Come join me on the top of the world at 5pm in meeting room 3a (or even better come for the whole session) where I'll talk about some of my work on fragmentation per se.

Interesting VR way to communicate @ECT_UK. A step beyond the electronic posters.

Allows different users to use it differently. I wanted to read the captions rather than watch the videos. Worked great. Others will want to watch the videos or skip to their interest. #BES2019

An expensive trip to the port on the way home from #BES2019

Oh wow I am packing! Folding my clothes, and my... fabric poster! 😝 #BES2019 #CelebratingGlobalEcology

Left Oxford at 4 am and all the way very tired. Got some rest at hotel and now here I’m #BES2019! Can’t wait to meet all the ecologists #CelebratingGlobalEcology together!

Plenary speaker Jonathan Chase talking about what “synthesis” means to ecologists. #BES2019

#BES2019 @CarlosBedson comparing different methods for surveying cryptic nocturnal mammals and sharing some real struggles of field work at Peak District! “Thermal imaging is thermal suffering!”

#BES2019 Hung et al.’s poster has been hung in the Exhibition Hall (sorry for the bad pun). Come along if you want to know more about our work in conserving rosewood, the word’s most illegally trafficked wild product! Thanks to @Darwin_Defra @BioversityInt @UnivOxford

#BES2019 @SarahEDalrymple talking about how conservation translocations need climate awareness. I’m totally with her, we need more visual, straightforward guides for conservation practitioners who may lack expertise in adaptive potentials and climate.

#BES2019 We are seeing lots of exotic animal cafes these days in Asia. How do they fit in the chain of wildlife trade and lead to biodiversity decline? @SharneMcMillan sharing about her work.

Keith Kirby @OxfordPlants is sharing about regeneration and grazing regimes in his plot studies on the Knepp Estate. #BES2019

#BES2019 @dr_dingle presents a thought-provoking research on the nest size competitions among introduced yellow-created cockatoos in Hong Kong and Singapore. Urban areas can provide refuges for endangered species. We need to take a closer monitoring on these urban populations.

#BES2019 Lightning talks are 1-min pitch for poster presenters to attract an audience to their posters. @PauDyssey is presenting on South African lizards at poster E2.4.

This is a really wonderful conference dinner @ Titanic Belfast. Lots of fun and laughters. I did at least 4 dances! #BES2019

Suddenly got some urgent things to do, had to sneak out the talks. Grabbed a cup of tea. Enjoying the riverside of Lagan. What a life. #BES2019

Listen to some really emotional music outside the Exhibition Hall! Merry Christmas everyone! #BES2019

I broke my own record after 4 days of #BES2019. Seemingly not only did I gain lots of insights from the talks, I also improved my buzzwire skills!

“If the grass grow, why does it matter?” Richard Bardgett, President of @BritishEcolSoc recalls what motivated him to study plant-soil interactions. There are many ecological processes going on under the ground and we should not neglect them in the global change. #BES2019
