I’m recruiting a PhD student in macrogenetics at Dalhousie University 🇨🇦! Focus will be on the biogeography of vertebrate genetic diversity or urban evolutionary ecology. Full ad: www.schmidt-biodiversity-lab.org/macrogenetic... If the ad is up, applications are still open. Please share widely! 🧬🧬

NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered a hidden chemical archive of ancient Mars’ atmosphere, which suggests that large amounts of carbon dioxide have been locked into the planet’s crust, according to a new Science study. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/3Ed9kOl

A team of scientists made headlines last night with claims that they had found the “strongest hints yet of biological activity outside the Solar System”. They have met floods of scepticism. https://go.nature.com/3Gsyr03

Global Projection of Terrestrial Vertebrate Food Webs Under Future Climate and Land‐Use Changes 📄 https://buff.ly/4gwQYVF #foodweb #climatewarming #landusechange #biodiversity

PhD project alert! 🚨 I'm recruiting a PhD student to join my lab and the MacroSize network to investigate the trends, patterns, and processes driving intraspecific variation in fish body size in the Anthropocene. Exciting opportunity to explore ecological dynamics in a changing world! :) 🌎🐟🐠🐡

Cool paper showing how deforestation impacts freshwater fish communities and a nice example on connectivity between blue-green biodiversity!

One-quarter of freshwater fauna threatened with extinction | Nature

Small-scale fisheries account for 40% of global catch, providing 20% of micronutrient intakes for up to 2.3 billion people and livelihoods for 1 in 12 people. Huge effort involving @fao.org & 800 experts, out now in @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A study of 632 freshwater fish species from 9,989 locations finds climate warming affects fish abundances, with increases at the poleward edges of species’ distributions and declines at the equatorward edges of species’ distributions. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Wild #river news—a global survey looking at 3 million rivers over the past 35 years shows the annual flow of water dropped in 44% of the world’s largest downstream rivers while many headwater streams grew. The impact on everything from sediment to irrigation are vast www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

6th day of Fishmas already! Here's a beautiful but unflatteringly named candy cane fish: the Warteye stargazer (Gillellus uranidea). These tiny fellas get up to about 4cm (on a good day) and carry their eggs tucked behind their pectoral fin – yup, you heard that right: they're armpit brooders... 🤏🐠🧪

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth. Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like. People underestimate the Pacific.

First, we've discovered the conventional fossil record. Then there was a time for trace fossils. And now even more exotic records reveal the ancient life: Coprolites, cololites and regurgitalites point to the roots of dinosaur supremacy www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪 #Paleobio ⚒️ #Geology #EvoBio

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Research shows that simply looking at the fractal patterns in nature shifts our brains away from fight or flight & into rest/digest mode, alleviating anxiety & helping us recover from stress more quickly. Zoom in to the pattern detail in my photo, it’ll help if your Friday afternoon’s angst-ridden👇🏼

A tale of two platforms: BlueSky user numbers have hit a new record high in recent days, while the number of people deleting their accounts on X/Twitter has rocketed 🚀

Hello new followers from that bleak gray place! Reposting my first post on this site: a cyanometer, the instrument Alexander von Humboldt (among others) used to determine how blue any sky actually was

Hello new blewskis 👋 Please enjoy my unofficial Bluesky mascot, Butters.

My fav paper of 2024. An ecological chain reaction: Invasive ants disrupt a native ant–tree mutualism, rendering acacia trees more vulnerable to elephant damage. Reduced tree cover allows large mammals (zebras) to detect lions, lowering their predation risk by 3-fold. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This is SO COOL. Extremely rare soft crystalline seashells are washing up in Northern California right now [a thread 🧵]... 🦑🧪🌊🐙

as an experiment, I posted the same post to twitter and bluesky. here is the time series of engagements (sum of comments, reposts, likes) from the two platforms. Note that I have 39K followers on twitter and 7K here, so engagement per follower here is more than 10 times higher here on bluesky.
