El pasado 20 de septiembre, el IP del proyecto DUNE asistió a la reunión de inicio en la sede de la @fbiodiversidad.bsky.social. Allí tuvimos la oportunidad de presentar #DUNE, conocer el resto de proyectos de la convocatoria y establecer sinergias. @fondoseuropeoses.bsky.social #FEDER @uco.es

🌿Presentamos el #ProyectoDUNE, que evalará la conservación y conectividad de la #FloraAmenazada en dunas, arenales y acantilados costeros de Andalucía, y los servicios ecosistémicos que proveen estos hábitats. @fbiodiversidad.bsky.social @fondoseuropeoses.bsky.social #FEDER

🔉Version 2.0-1 of our #KISSMig #Rstats package for #SpeciesMigration modeling is now live on #CRAN. This #bugfix addresses overprediction in version 2.0-0 that may arise when using time series of binary suitability maps. More Information about #KISSMig → www.wsl.ch/en/services-...

Spain's fire-ridden summer 2025 sparked big debates about how forests are managed. Now new research in @jappliedecology.bsky.social shows that pine plantations in Spain can increase fire severity, that post-fire recovery is rare, & but that tree density management can help tinyurl.com/mf33xrt8

Punctuated equilibrium, a concept introduced by paleontologists in 1972, reimagines evolution’s tempo as a stochastic burst rather than a steady beat. A new model finds support for their theory in both molecular and fossil data. @jakebuehler.bsky.social reports www.quantamagazine.org/the-sudden-s...
