📣 New paper out in @plosbiology.org What drives global patterns of species richness? 🌍 Using a unified framework across 129 tetrapod clades 🐸🦎🐦🐘, we find: 👉 Productivity-driven equilibrium dynamics largely explain biodiversity patterns ⚖️🌱 doi.org/10.1371/jour... #Macroecology #Biogeography

That was awesome !!! 🇩🇰✨

oh this is nice! 🥳 a cute little frog not seen since it was first collected in 1893 has been rediscovered alive and well in a couple of populations in central Chile! 🐸🧪 www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

Very excited to use my first @bsky.app post to announce @echinerd.bsky.social and I's new paper in Proc B! 🎉 We used a dataset of Palaeozoic echinoids from 33 museums worldwide to see the impact museum ‘dark data’ has on biogeographic and evolutionary patterns in deep time! doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Well just received this email regarding a paper under review:

Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X https://go.nature.com/42tH8Ai

Just opened my Bluesky account, and what better way to kick things off than with big news? Our paper, “Broad geographic dispersal is not a diversification driver for Emberizoidea,” is now out in PRSB! 1/3 #Macroevolution #Macroecology #Biogeography

en 2023 publicamos 2 nuevos registros de una rana poco común en la cuenca alta del Amazonas, la "Hyalinobatrachium iaspidiense". Ahora hemos podido volver a encontrar varios ejemplares. Aquí muestro un par de fotillos recientes. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this
