Let's make @ecosistemas-aeet.bsky.social a fair and well-used journal!

We wrote the Strain on scientific publishing to highlight the problems of time & trust. With a fantastic group of co-authors, we present The Drain of Scientific Publishing: a 🧵 1/n Drain: arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820 Strain: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... Oligopoly: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...

And our paper is out! One curve to rule them all: a simple universal thermal performance curve for ectotherms that explains at least 2700 datasets across 39 phyla and myriad measures of performance. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Why we aren’t lizards: the evolution of endothermy through optimizing life history Summary & Analysis by Kaleigh Remick of “The Evolution of Homeothermic Endothermy via Life History Optimization” by Rubalcaba www.amnat.org/an/newpapers...

Five 3-year Postdoc positions open at @ebdonana.bsky.social. I am happy to sponsor and mentor good candidates working in my field, but note that these are quite independent positions aimed at helping stabilize new researchers in the system. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4nqkq...

Science deserves better than profit-driven publishing. Change starts from within the community — here’s how we can reclaim it: peeer.net/2025/08/18/r... #BetterPublishing

Lo que ocurre en USA no es un suicidio de la Ciencia, es un asesinato. En un mundo sumido en múltiples crisis, necesitamos más que nunca que se hagan políticas desde el conocimiento, respaldadas por Ciencia básica, y no desde la ignorancia. Y no sólo en USA... elpais.com/opinion/2025...

Why do endotherms spend so much energy? Juan G. Rubalcaba describes a theoretical model that shows that species followed one of two possible evolutionary patches: live fast while spending a lot, or live slowly and keep your costs low. Read now! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Excited and honored to have my first solo paper out in Am Nat!! @asn-amnat.bsky.social doi.org/10.1086/736225

Postdoc call in Mechanistic Biodiversity Modelling (up to 6 ya) at my lab @unibonn.bsky.social. We focus on modelling terrestrial plant communities, island biogeography, range dynamics, eco-evolutionary feedbacks, diversity gradients, tropical forests, vascular epiphytes. Pls rt! shorturl.at/CL1ny

As grant money starts drying up, it's more important than ever not to waste it on paying publishers' open access "article processing fees" when we can host PDFs for free. Tom Morgan and I wrote a paper on this, forthcoming at Science and Public Policy. Accepted draft here: osf.io/preprints/os...

Dato mata relato #lobovivo #loboprotegido

Se ha filtrado el borrador de ley de universidades que está preparando la CAM. Si se aprueba, será la muerte de la universidad pública madrileña. Es escandaloso. No exagero. Se vienen tiempos oscuros como no espabilemos. Explico algunos puntos críticos. Va hilo. 👇

Real breakthroughs come from long-term investment in public research and then exploited by big tech companies

In our latest Editorial we discuss the continuing damage being done to US science, and its impact on researchers and the environment 👇 Deep cuts: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Join us this Wednesday for our monthly Funk lecture, presented by Dr. Sidney F. Gouveia! To register, please visit our website: www.biogeography.org/news/news/ne...
