➡️ El área afectada por lluvias extremas (más de 180 mm) se expandió un 55 % por el calentamiento global. ➡️ Se atribuye esta intensificación al aumento del contenido de humedad y a una mayor inestabilidad atmosférica, procesos exacerbados por el calentamiento del Mediterráneo.

En un contexto de supuesta bonanza macroeconómica, comienza un nuevo asalto a la enseñanza e investigación públicas. Hemos llegado aquí tras un prolongado proceso de: i) desacreditación sistemática de las universidades públicas, ii) desregulación del sector, iii) asfixia económica continuada.

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.

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!

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:
