sacrevert: October 2014
http://sacrevert.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Being thoughts and incidents of a (mostly) botanical nature. Friday, 3 October 2014. England's new Red List of Vascular Plants. It seems to be an incredibly productive season for botanical publishing. A new bryophyte atlas. On the way; fliers for a reprint of the BSBI handbook Docks and Knotweeds. And for books on Yorkshire's Hawkweeds. But one of the most exciting publications has been that of the new Vascular Plant Red List for England. Shows that 5th of wildflower species now threatened @BSBIbotany.

sacrevert: February 2013

Being thoughts and incidents of a (mostly) botanical nature. Tuesday, 12 February 2013. Creating masked vice-county rasters in Quantum GIS. I was inspired by Teresa Frost. There are no doubt easier ways of achieving what follows, but this is what worked for me. Firstly, I retrieved the Land-Form PANORAMA. Data from the Ordnance Survey's new(ish) OpenData. Website, and the Watsonian vice-county boundaries from the NBN. Was handy for that. 2) Visualising the DTM data is also a minor challenge, and can be o...

Ian Lunt's Ecological Research Site. Vegetation Ecology for Southern Australia. Conservation triage: clarity or confusion? What do you see when we talk about triage? A spreadsheet or a corpse? Triage is one of the most contentious topics in conservation science. It asks the questions: Which species should we save? Which species should we abandon? Or maybe it doesn’t.

Shaping stories to save the world: The movie | Ian Lunt's Ecological Research Site

Ian Lunt's Ecological Research Site. Vegetation Ecology for Southern Australia. Shaping stories to save the world: The movie. How do we get our messages out? How do we stop preaching to the converted? These questions are asked at lots of workshops on conservation and science communication. We can send our messages across the world using Facebook and Twitter, but most struggle to be seen in the flood of competing stories. Last month I gave the opening talk at the wonderful. Biodiversity Across The Borders.

Drawing the essence of a bird: the art of Milly Formby. I’m always going down to the Swan River here, and I love just walking along the sand and feeling the sand between my toes and walking in the water and looking at the reflection of the light on the water, and the shells and the colours, and wishing that I could capture every tiny little bit of it on paper.

Ian Lunt's Ecological Research Site. Vegetation Ecology for Southern Australia. Tracking Robbie B: Once bittern, twice shy. Late at night one Thursday in April, Robbie B disappeared. No one knew where he would go or how long he might survive. Robbie was under watch. Nine days earlier and against his will, he was fitted with a tracking device: a computer chip like those inside the ankle bracelets worn by sex offenders. Yet Robbie was no criminal. He was less than four-months-old. [ Continue reading. 8220;...
