It’s the first time a frog—or any amphibian—has been observed pollinating a plant, researchers reported in 2023. Learn more on #WorldWildlifeDay: https://scim.ag/4riUU1G

Are #openaccess fees that some journals charge authors too high? The Chinese Academy of Sciences, the world’s largest research institution, reportedly thinks so and plans to stop funding some, a move that could shake up #scientificpublishing. @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

📢New episode of #VALORpartners is live! @ibartomeus.bsky.social talks about the @csic.es & @ebdonana.bsky.social, their involvement in VALOR and his expertise. He also highlights @safeguard-pollinators.eu and how its insights feed the VALOR project. 👉 Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktRq...

New paper alert! "Estimating global bee species richness and taxonomic gaps" suggests that we have thousands of bee species left to describe and decades of taxonomic work ahead of us. We also provide the methods needed to apply more broadly :) doi.org/10.1038/s414...

1. Kevin Gross and I have a new paper out today PLOS Biology. We used economic models based around screening games and the market for unpaid labor to highlight a meltdown cycle threatening peer review.

Just published a post on our recent paper in Nat Comm with colleagues from @helmholtzmunich.bsky.social. The study suggests that gains in life expectancy in Germany have partly masked the imprint of climate change on heat-related mortality. More info here: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Periodic reminder that we should avoid testing the Normality of the response variable. For a linear model, what matters is the Normality of residuals (and not that much). Visual checks better than test. #statistics

Pollinators have been disappearing. It’s time to bring them back! Whether you’re tending a yard, a community garden, a local park, or even just a tiny balcony, our Bring Back the Pollinators program has you covered with guides, videos, free events, & more!

En este #11F queremos hablar de un dato incómodo: Aunque las mujeres representamos casi un tercio de la comunidad científica, nuestra presencia en puestos de decisión sigue siendo mínima 🚪❌ No es por falta de talento, sino por barreras que se repiten una y otra vez media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2l...

This is also climate change...

Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days. Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

The world is going to blow past the 1.5 C goal of the Paris Accords. Even limiting global warming to 2 C will be very hard. But we might still be able to pull it off if we change tactics, and focus more attention on climate “Emergency Brakes”. globalecoguy.org/hitting-the-...

Pollinator research travels.🗺️ During a one-month research stay in the UK, @ibartomeus.bsky.social delivered three seminars across leading institutions while advancing key VALOR work on pollinator dependencies and pollination services. 👉Read the full story: valor-project.eu/news/ignasi-...

El @miteco.gob.es lanza una consulta pública a la ciudadanía sobre el Plan Nacional de la Restauración de la Naturaleza forma.administracionelectronica.gob.es/form/open/co... Que vean que es importante! Son solo 5 minutos con los que también demostramos que la democracia ha de ser más participativa.

Updated my “Reproducible data analysis using tidyverse R” slides in preparation for a workshop at UVA tomorrow: rpubs.com/bpbond/1392825 #rstats

🇪🇸 ¡11 MILLONES de observaciones en España! 🌿 Gracias a toda la comunidad de @observation.org por documentar la biodiversidad, observación a observación. Cada registro cuenta. #ExplorandoJuntosLaNaturaleza #ObservationEspaña #CienciaCiudadana

Emocionante y motivador..casi 40 postulantes a formar parte de @ecosistemas-aeet.bsky.social con su tiempo y compromiso como EA! 🙏🏼¡GRACIAS! 🌎Nuevo equipo con muy diversas disciplinas y etapas y q representa a la comunidad @eco-aeet.bsky.social #AnotherScienceisPossible #DiamondOAJ #4realOpenScience

Si estas en Sevilla este Jueves vente. a tomar algo!

Actually let me do this proper

Yo ya soy SOCIO PROTECTOR @eco-aeet.bsky.social . Quién más se anima???

¿Cómo saber qué abejas estamos viendo?(II) No es fácil, pero algunas pistas ayudan🧐 Fíjate en el tercer par de patas: mucha pilosidad, sí… pero ¿cuánta en comparación con otra hembra de otra especie? A-Dasypoda pyrotrichia♀︎ B-Anthophora fulvodimidiata♀︎ @ebdonana.bsky.social @ictsdonana.bsky.social

We are responding to this call for evidence: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... Do you have concrete examples of the added value of #Rstats in the public or private sectors? Include the most important factors (risk, lock-in, security, innovation...) to assess the added value. Thanks!

🧪 Figuring out the right way to represent interactions as a network is a really difficult task, makes a big difference on the interpretation. In a new preprint by @tanyadoesscience.bsky.social we attempt to provide a hierarchical framework for network ecology: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

#EBDPub Pollination networks change over time in ways that are consistently better than random: this rewiring enhances pollinator persistence. It is not optimal, but it is key for biodiversity to persist in natural systems. 🟢 doi.org/10.1111/ele....

It's only January, and we have the first "co-occurrence does not imply interactions" paper of the year...

This was a very interesting read: An untold story in biology: the historical continuity of evolutionary ideas of Muslim scholars from the 8th century to Darwin's time 🧪 www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Interaction rewiring is a response, not simply a consequence, of environmental change. Observed rewiring boosts species persistence opportunities. This is one of the nicest ideas we tested in the lab recently. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... lead by @domgarvir.bsky.social

You know this forgotten ms that just needed a week of work to finally finish it, but you never had the time? It finally happened. 5 days, one to revisit it, two for writing the discussion, one for polishing the figures, one for editing the references. Now let's send it to coauthors :)

USA se retira de 66 organizaciones multilaterales (31 de la ONU): UICN, IPBES, IPCC y cualquier cosa que huela a cambio climático, "pq operan de modo contrario a los intereses nacionales". Elegid bien a quien votáis. Un solo tipo puede llevar a todo un planeta al abismo. elpais.com/internaciona...

Evolution doesn’t always take thousands or millions of years. Sometimes it happens right before our eyes. Such is the case with the Anna’s hummingbird, a species that has undergone a dramatic transformation in a few generations, thanks to the advent of hummingbird feeders: https://scim.ag/3YMuQQu

Para aquellos que se sientan tentados a poner en duda la crisis climática porque nos viene frío en invierno, "como es normal": no solo es una bajada anómala por abrupta, es que SIMULTÁNEAMENTE, en Grecia, van a tener ¡NOCHES TROPICALES EN ENERO!
