Dr Chris Clements

Great to see the new paper being picked up in the press

phys.org/news/2026-02...

Excited this new paper is out in Science Advances 📄✨ I think the results are important:

To tackle vertebrate declines which are often driven by interacting threats—🦠 disease, 🐍 invasives, 🧪 pollution, 🌡️ climate, multi-threat, systems-level conservation is key 🌍

🚨 The news-media is utterly failing to cover these momentous scientific findings.

The public is not being informed of the danger posed.

The UK chief scientist Dame Angela McLean just highlighted this as an issue of national security - why are no news outlets covering it ?!? 🤯

Multivariate signals of population collapse in a high‐throughput ecological experiment Anticipating population declines is a crucial goal of conservation ecology. Recent conceptual work suggests that populations facing growing stressors should exhibit sequential shifts in behavior, mor....

📢 new publiction led by @francescocerini.bsky.social in Ecology

We look at how press vs. pulse disturbances effect population collapse and how predictable that collapse is 🧪🔬

Contribution of microcosm experiments to conservation science Microcosms, or miniature experimental systems, have been used to develop models and theories in ecology. However, their contribution to conservation science is unclear. We explored the application, d....

Did you know that #microcosm experiments are cited ~ twice as often as non-microcosm experiments?! 🧪

AND

Microcosm articles and non-microcosm articles were cited in #policy documents at SIMILAR RATE 🔬
