Review of the butterfly and moth research on actions shows most evidence covers butterfly conservation, focuses on community-level responses, originates from UK and USA, from studies using least robust designs, assesses actions about agriculture.

The visionary Mossy Earth is providing grants of up to £15k, but usually £2-6k to enable rigorous testing of conservation actions. (Tips: pick an action not whole programme, have comparison or control, replicate). Exciting!

ALT Picture of happy delegates at the SCCS conference in front of the David Attenborough Building. The Whale Café peeps over the top in the background. There are some black railings on the right hand side of the photo (stage left). People are wearing lanyards of various colours - the reasons for this are unknown, but rumored to be vitally important. Some people are wearing glasses, others are not.

Very excited that Conservation Evidence is one of five major projects within the @ai_cam_mission. We will expand our current collaboration with the Computing Dept to develop novel means of using AI to present evidence to practitioners and decision makers (ai.cam.ac.uk/ai-deas/)

Counting very rare (in UK) Field wormwood Artemesia campestris with Breckland Floral Group. 16 plants introduced to this site in 1988. Count was 385 plants including 2 juveniles and 41 non-flowering plants. Was down to one site. Now at 7 sites. Science and conservation working!

📢NEW PAPER Plant assemblages on coastal dunes in southern Spain recovered following removal of invasive Aleppo pine Pinus halepensis. Perennial grasses and shrubs typical of sun-exposed areas were observed. Suggest manual control of seedlings every 3-5 years to avoid reinvasion.
ALT Comparative pictures of the managed area, before (October 2016) and after (October 2022) Pinus halepensis removal. Before treatment, P. halepensis stands completely obscured the stone pines behind. Note the position of the same strawberry tree Arbutus unedo in both pictures (white arrow).

New study addressing the need to increase coral production while reducing the costs associated with coral farming. Aponte-Marcano et al. bit.ly/3P0ZMHk found that raising corals in horizontal frames is more cost-effective than growing them in tree-like nurseries 🪸

THIS is how conservation practice guidance should be written. Evidence + workshops with international stakeholder groups = clear, evidence-based guidance on how to save puffins. Excellent work from the @ConservEvidence team. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…
