🌊🔬 Grad Student Opportunity! I’m recruiting PhD students to explore marine biodiversity, body size, and bioenergetics with flexibility to design your own project! PDF of ad link below. #PhDPosition #MarineBiology #Macroecology #Biodiversity #GradSchool #Ecology #OceanScience tinyurl.com/5n9434wk

Dear ecologists 🌎 Which journals in ecology (or related fields) offer editor mentoring programs? I know about Journal of Applied Ecology, ESA Editorial Fellow, and ASLO Editorial Fellow. Any others that early-career researchers should track for future calls?

Finished off this year's conference season at #BESMacro2025. What an amazing experience! Great talks, incredible people, and plenty of networking opportunities. If you're into macroecology and get the chance, don't miss it next year!

Continuing the conference season, I'm in Bodø 🇳🇴 for the 58th European Marine Biology Symposium #EMBS2025. If you're into large-scale marine diversity patterns, come say hi! 😊

‎🐠 T H A N K Y O U ! 🪸 To all the #BEeS2025 participants for joining this year's eScience Conference on Biodiversity and Ecosystem. An intense week of inspiring presentations! 🔥 Stay tuned for upcoming post-event activities! 🔥 Special thanks to HCMR-IMBBC for hosting us so warmly in Heraklion!

Excited for the LifeWatch Biodiversity & Ecosystem eScience Conference starting tomorrow! If you're into biodiversity data standardization and taxonomic harmonization, come check out my talk on July 1st in the 𝘔𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘵: 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 session. #BEeS

That moment of consternation when you read the abstract of a just-published paper and realize it's strikingly similar to your current project.

Last week I visited the Center for Marine Studies (UFPR), Brazil 🇧🇷, to share recent works on marine LDG, sampling bias and some ongoing projects. It was so nice to return to this place full of good memories and catch up with old friends 😁.

Fieldwork is underway in southern Brazil, where I'm sampling eDNA with @marciakurtz.bsky.social for the 𝐺𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑦 𝐵𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑀𝑒𝑖𝑜𝑓𝑎𝑢𝑛𝑎 𝐷𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 survey, an international effort led by @jnmscience.bsky.social. 🌎🏖️🧬 During the first week, we worked along the stunning Santa Catarina coast.

If you're interested in developing a proposal to come and work here in Sheffield on any aspect of marine biodiversity data science or macroecology, I'm happy to discuss. @andremenegotto.bsky.social is living proof that we have had some success with this scheme!

50 priority questions to guide research of global #meiofauna: standardized sampling and improved taxonomic methods are urgently needed to enhance #biodiversity assessments. Genomic approaches and international collaborations should be leveraged to overcome data bias. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

[New paper] Fundamental questions in meiofauna research. Stimulating to see growing interest in macroecological questions in the meiofaunal field, especially in strategies to improve data quality for large-scale studies. Check it out 👇 doi.org/10.1038/s420...

Taking the pulse of meiofauna research in 2025. My biggest take-home message as the head of one panel: evolutionary genomics is not (yet) anywhere near reaching its potential in this field, partly because of a lack of visibility/interdisciplinary education. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Exciting first day of #IODC3 with many great presentations! Some tools showcased include the Beacon data lake beacon.maris.nl and the OBIS sdm dashboard shiny.obis.org/distmaps. Also, an important message from Erika Cadavid on strengthening the @obis.org Network in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The International Ocean Data Conference #IODC3 began today. Super interesting start with Marcos Zárate talking about the OBISBot tool, using AI to access OBIS data. obis-bot.streamlit.app #Oceandata, #ODIS, #TheDataWeNeedForTheOceanWeWant

Check the first comprehensive assessment of biodiversity knowledge shortfalls at contimental level in today's issue of @science.org, led by Luis Pertierra. We map data coverage of the species, ecology and evolution of terrestrial Antarctic biota jhortal.com/shortfalls-k... 🌐🧪 @mncn-csic.bsky.social

New paper! We reflect on our experience in EMODnet on the potential of innovative data products to improve the outlook for marine biodiversity. Open access in Marine Policy: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Occurrence records currently available may be insufficient to capture the latitudinal gradient of marine diversity. Computer simulations show that sampling bias persists even with the use of different richness estimators. 🌎🧪🦑 #Macroecology #MarineEcology 👇 Out now in GEB!

The #BioNCCE has joined Bluesky! 🎉 Be sure to follow Guida Santos @guidasantos.bsky.social for insights into island #biogeography, community ecology, and nature conservation... and yes, #dungbeetle too 🪲! 🧪🌍🌐

Thrilled to share that I got a paper rejected today! 😄 #RejectionIsTheRule Recommendations? Rejection, minor revisions, and major revisions. Despite the rejection, the third reviewer made insightful comments that will definitely improve the study. Constructive criticisms make our science better. 👍

Joaquín Hortal has joined Bluesky! 🎉 @jhortal.bsky.social If you're interested in #macroecology, knowledge shortfalls, and all things #biodiversity, I highly recommend following him.

Just reached >1,000 records on iNaturalist, with many already contributing to GBIF. I've recorded at least 850 species so far—likely more, as some records are still unidentified. It's so great to be able to keep track of these sightings! 📷🪲🐦🕷️🍄🌿 Here are just a few examples...

I just started my MSCA fellowship at the University of Sheffield this month! Excited to work with the amazing @tomjwebb.bsky.social and Joaquín Hortal (MNCN-CSIC) on this project. Get ready for some cool findings on marine knowledge shortfalls coming soon! 🤓 🐠 🌎

Intertidal zones are highly accessible marine systems, yet they still reflect sampling bias trends seen across the entire ocean: extensive sampling in mid-latitudes and missing occurrence records in tropical regions. New paper led by Jakob Thyrring in @ecography.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/ecog...

Hello, Bluesky! 🦋
