Decades of data show livestock intensification in the #MaasaiMara drives major wildlife declines - >70% drop in wild herbivores, #migration collapse & functional compression. See our analysis in PNAS:

Trialled my first #queerecologies #transecologies #drawing workshop last week, on a stunning beach in Pembrokeshire. Exploring #edgeeffects, #liminality and #negativespaces. A triad of #oystercatchers turned up just as we were wrapping up, to add their queer blessing to the day
Photograph of a rock face on which somebody has drawn in colour pencils, highlighting natural features of the rock in vivid colour Photograph of a beach in Pembrokeshire in the foreground is large, square rock on which somebody has drawn in colour pastels. The words ‘power from separation’ are superimposed on an abstract arrangement of line and tone that explores the natural shape and texture of the rock. The sea is abime silver in the far distance with looming headlands to either side

#Forestry #EdgeEffects

Scale-dependent effects of habitat amount and edge density on Black-throated Green Warbler occupancy under Definition C, from the additive (habitat + edge) model. (a and c) Posterior occupancy slopes (β; point = posterior mean, error bar = 95% CRI, logit scale) for habitat amount (a) and edge density (c) at the 7, 78, and 314 ha scales; dashed vertical line denotes zero effect. (b and d) Predicted occupancy across the observed range of habitat amount (b) and edge density (d) at each scale, holding the other predictor at its mean (line = posterior mean, band = 95% CRI).
