Bet hedging via intermediate hatching fractions: demographic evidence from rotifer diapausing egg banks url: academic.oup.com/plankt/artic...

New paper out! Using sediment cores, we analyzed rotifer diapausing egg banks to track temporal variation in reproductive success. Populations with ⬆️ variation showed ⬇️ hatching fractions, supporting bet hedging. If interested, you can find it here: doi.org/10.1093/plan... Or ask me directly ;)

whenever people get fatalistic about the ecological threats we're facing, i like to bring up some of these examples. we *can* do things that cause positive change! we have in the past! if we make the decisions to try and fix things, we can actually do it! we aren't in fact doomed until we give up!

Here we’re again studying risk-avoiding strategies in rotifer diapausa traits in order to face environmental unpredictability. 👇🏻 the link to our new paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Second stop: Delta de l'Ebre! Here, we spotted the invasive golden apple snail <Pomacea canaliculata> 🐌. Our project #BioScaling also explores how rice fields can act as gateways for non-native species introduction and establishment. 🌾 #InvasiveSpecies

Todos somos migrantes y mestizos. Me parece necesario recordarlo en los tiempos que corren, y así lo hice el martes durante mi conferencia en los Cursos de Verano de la Universidad de Burgos: www.ubu.es/noticias/tod...

We were just doing plant cover transects with first year Biology undergraduates but they were struck by the diversity of bugs that can play a role in pollination. There is nothing more mind-blowing than observing nature!!! Hooray for these young naturalists!

NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀 Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯 A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛 Let's dive in! 🧵👇 1/x

Mañana seré investido Doctor Honoris Causa por la Univ Jaén. El acto se retransmitirá por streaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4lo... En mi discurso desarrollaré la idea de que la primera víctima de los cambios ecológicos globales fue la ciencia ecológica misma. Haré diagnóstico y también propuestas.

Yes, you can make time to read. I started this week to devour this magnificent novel by Richard Powers, which is also a brilliant conservationist plea.👌

Ja la tenim ací! Moltes gràcies, @revistametodeesp.bsky.social, per l’últim número! Sempre és un plaer gaudir del vostre gran treball en la divulgació científica. Entre les seus pàgines una entrevista molt interessant a Pedro Jordano sobre “L’arquitectura de la biodiversitat”.

I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

These mayflies have emerged these days. They look like Baetidae and I find them everywhere in my neighborhood. The life span of an adult mayfly can range from a few hours up to two days. So I'm amused to see if they mate. But so far without success.

La Asociación Española de #Ecología Terrestre ya está por aquí también, difundiendo sus actividades. A seguirla (y ya de paso a hacerse miembros!!!)

How long does it take for benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages to recover from a flash flood? By lifting stones from the bank of a wadeable stretch of the River Turia and within a week of the event I have gone from finding nothing to seeing gammaridae, melanopsidae and many, many heptageniidae.
