Please, beat us at predicting population trends. Fun game to test your intuition and see how you compare to trained models!

Great news - tropical forests are resilient! Long-term research in Ecuador's Chocó rainforest shows that nature bounced back quickly after deforested land was abandoned Diversity and abundance of species reached 90% of original levels within 30 years www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Más de 30 personas (del mundo de la ciencia, la divulgación y el activismo) recorrerán durante una semana (del 13 al 19 de abril) toda España. Dando charlas. Explicando que esto se acabó. Que hay que cambiar. Que es bueno cambiar. Que podemos cambiar. Empieza el No Normal Tour. ¡Te esperamos!

'The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding' What a nice post on AI, education, learning, research and academia

The new bee documentary is out today in Disney+. Our buzzing bees did make the cut at the end! It is really nice to see the clip of how bees use previously collected nectar to pack pollen even in nectarless flowers! There are lots of other cool things in this two-part film!

¡Acabamos de publicar el último número! 📢 Incluimos el monográfico "Ecología del despoblamiento rural", coordinado por Francisco Lloret y Adrián Escudero. Os dejamos la editorial invitada en este enlace. Y no solo, en este número hay mucho más contenido... revistaecosistemas.net/index.php/ec...

New study on temporal interaction turnover using a unique dataset 🦋🪷 Communities adapt to climate fluctuations through rewiring. But over the long term, as species are lost, rewiring declines—reducing the capacity of communities to buffer environmental change onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Many journals require data and code sharing. Yet code is still rarely shared and datasets are often hard to reuse. Our new paper introduces the @sortee.bsky.social guidelines for data & code quality control in ecology & evolution, developed by 26 experienced data editors. 📄 doi.org/10.24072/pcj...

It was a real privilege to work on this paper - some important messages for the world here. Thanks @pnas.org @billsutherland.bsky.social

We're thrilled to announce the Ctrl-Z Award, a US$2,500 prize for researchers “who discover substantial errors in their published work and take meaningful steps to correct the scientific record." Covered by @nature.com today; read more here: centerforscientificintegrity.org/2026/03/10/a...

📊🌱 Hoy #8M lanzamos encuesta sobre #cuidados y carrera científica en #ecología. ¿Quién cuida en la comunidad científica? ¿Cuánto tiempo implican esos cuidados? ¿Influyen en las trayectorias investigadoras? Si trabajas en ecología, cuéntanos 👇 aeet-comisionigualdad.limesurvey.net/485287?lang=...

La primavera empieza con millones de pequeñas arquitectas de la naturaleza: las hembras de las abejas silvestres que construyen nidos y llenan el paisaje de vida. Hoy celebramos también a las mujeres que estudian y protegen la biodiversidad. #DiaInternacionalDeLaMujer 💜🐝 @ebdonana.bsky.social

Hoy, #8M, es un día magnífico para que conozcáis el monumental proyecto de la musicóloga @svmusicology.bsky.social y su Mapa de Creadoras. Una forma muy visual de descubrir compositoras y músicas de todo el mundo, que igual muchas no te suenan por lo que sea. svmusicology.com/mapa

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

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-...

¿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?

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...
