What did we talk about at #ESAus2024 / #ESAus24? Lots of invitations to come see talks! But also #species, #nature, #conservation, and #Australia.

@satellitesci.bsky.social started the most conversations at #ESAus2024 / #ESAus24, followed by @daxkellie.bsky.social and @lizzylowe.bsky.social.
This is the metric I'm most interested in because replies are what made Blue Sky social, rather than just broadcasting into the void.

If you missed my talk but still want to learn how to make your R code more reproducible, my slides are here 🙂:

All the links to packages and resources I mentioned are there, so hopefully this can be a nice reference, too!

Ellen Sandell MP gave one of the most straightforward reasons for scientists as advocates that I've heard so far: The fossil fuel industry is eagerly talking to MPs, so scientists shouldn't hold back from talking to politicians too. We need to balance out the oil self-interests. #ESAus2024 🧪🌏

Thought-provoking post- #ESAus2024 workshop on how we can make our research relevant to policy. I appreciated the panel bias towards outspoken women.
Many (most?) in the audience were young PhD students, demonstrating the climate change urgency among younger ecologists especially.

Love the handcrafts in the audience of #ESAus2024! (And that's dedication to finish two socks, including at the final workshop).

#ESAus2024 may be over but the #StarterPack is still available if you're looking for great austral ecologists to follow. I've added new people every day so check who else has joined us on Blue Sky.

@martinebotany.bsky.social Thinking of you today. I was trying to explain all the great interactions I had during #Botany2020 to a group of students at #ESAus2024 and #CoffeePotRamen was the first example that came to mind of the camaraderie the botany community fostered.

Josh Botti-Anderson found that up to 53% of bee species were lost in the 40 yrs between surveys in the Australian Alps. This included a 30% loss of plant-bee pollinator interactions as well.

The temperate northern #PlantFunctionalTypes don't accurately represent Australian flora and yet dominate existing vegetation models. Laura Williams proposes 22 new PFTs to predict where plants grow where in #Australia under future climate scenarios.

Love seeing more long-term monitoring results from @john-m-dwyer.bsky.social comparing logged to unlogged plot tree recruitment over several decades. Traits modulate demographic responses, but (worryingly) recruitment are declining in both logged and unlogged plots.

Massive sampling effort by Julian Radford-Smith to look at subtropical rainforest climate gradients acting as a filter for plant communities. I particularly liked the evidence for deciduousness as a drought-avoidance strategy. The 'Jackson Pollock' plot was an audience favourite. #ESAus2024

What if you know the traits of a plant you're interested in but now you need to know where it grows? Peter Vesk flips trait-environment models on their heads and finds wood density, bark thickness, and seed size were the most important traits to know.

Travis Britton compared trait measurements from #AusTraits in natural conditions to Eucalyptus grown in a common garden and found conserved relationships between N to MAT and wood density + leaf thickness to MAP. Very clever study and good use of existing databases and common gardens.
