Overpopulation (Zoology 🦥)

Overpopulation or overabundance is a state in which the population of a species is larger than the carrying capacity of its environment. This may be caused by increased birth rates, lowered mortality rates, reduced predation or large scale migration, leading to an overabundant species and other animals in the ecosystem ...

The #Humboldt #marten (#Martes #caurina #humboldtensis) is a #subspecies of the #Pacificmarten that has been listed as #endangered by the US Fish and #WildlifeService since 2020. These endemic martens inhabit the redwood forest coastal regions of California and Oregon, where they form four populations. M. E. Martin et al. (2022) point oit that their #populationecology is still understudied, posing a challenge for #conservation measurements.

Population ecology (Ecology 🏞️)

Population ecology is a field of ecology that deals with the dynamics of species populations and how these populations interact with the environment, such as birth and death rates, and by immigration and emigration. The discipline is important in conservation biology, especially in the development of population viability analysis which makes it possibl...

Relative species abundance (Biodiversity 🦗)

Relative species abundance is a component of biodiversity and is a measure of how common or rare a species is relative to other species in a defined location or community. Relative abundance is the percent composition of an organism of a particular kind relative to the total number of organisms in the area. Rel...

Wolf distribution (Biogeography 🌍)

Wolf distribution is the species distribution of the wolf. Originally, wolves occurred in Eurasia above the 12th parallel north and in North America above the 15th parallel north. However, deliberate human persecution has reduced the species' range to about one-third, because of livestock predation and fear of wol...

Reindeer distribution (Biogeography 🌍)

The reindeer is a widespread and numerous species in the northern Holarctic, being present in both tundra and taiga. Originally, the reindeer was found in Scandinavia, eastern Europe, Russia, Mongolia, and northern China north of the 50th latitude. In North America, it was found in Canada, Alaska, an...

Apparently we should do #introductions with lots of #hashtags so here I go. I love emojis 👍😁 I am a #conservation #conservationecologist specialising in #threatenedspecies #threatenedecologicalcommunities

with a recent focus again on 🐨🐨🐨🐨 #koalas #koalarescue #koalaresearch #koalaeducation #koalaadvocacy 🙏🐨💖🤗 I live with an amazing #population of 🐨🐨🐨 #BallinasKoalas who you will get to meet, along with #RichmondValleyKoalas & #SouthEastLismoreKoalas

This all means I love to study and understand all the #interactions within and between species 🐨🦘🦉🦅🐍🐸🪲🦇🐀🐢🐬🐋🐳🦭🐟🦀🐞🐝🐜🐛🦋🐌🦗🕷🌺🌸🌻🌼🌳🌲🌾🌿 and with their #environment 🌏☀️🌡💧🔥🌧🌩 my favourite topics are #populationecology from colonies/cells to #evolution #coevolution #evolution #genetics #fireecology #diseasemanagement #threatmanagement #reproductiveecology #demographics #climatechange #climateaction #adaptation #plasticity all the things that determine whether a species will persist or become #extinct

I support #FirstNations People and 💖 working on Country with #TraditionalOwners #sharingknowledge 🖤❤💛

I have two Jug #dogs Eli and Miss Angie - Jack Russell x Pug 🥰💕 At the moment we are #floodrefugees living in a camper-trailer in Northern NSW.

Look forward to exploring and sharing ideas and thoughts 🥰 meeting new people & catching up with those who left Twitter 😁
