Next step in a really nice bit of translational ecology, kick-started by a (very modest) bit of seed funding through the APEAL project (lternet.edu/engaging-com...) @johnbesley.bsky.social
Whether predation or poor larval settlement has caused the decline in iconic softshell clams is being studied using recruitment boxes that protect larval and baby clams from predators. Local aquaculture is increasing oyster harvests. Efforts like these can help restore and support the fishery. 4/5

Thank you @nhpr.org for sharing this great story from Ari Daniel featuring work by @dartmouthcollege.bsky.social researchers including @mirandazamm.bsky.social. 🧪
Inside the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in Woodstock, scientists have toiled for over 50 years to build a trove of research about bird habitat and forest ecology.
It's believed to be the longest detailed record of breeding birds anywhere in the nation – and possibly the world.

By listening to these birds for decades, scientists track signs of a changing forest
Scientists tracking the birds in an experimental forest in New Hampshire have also tracked changes in the forest ecosystem over decades.
