¡Tenemos acuerdo! 🍃 Hemos pactado una ley del clima con objetivo vinculante del 90% de reducción de emisiones para 2040 España llegaba al Consejo de Medioambiente con la máxima ambición y estamos satisfechos tras una larga noche de negociaciones Hoy gana Europa: el multilateralismo es el camino

Proponemos crear un Parlamento Ciudadano Permanente con participación real en la toma de decisiones e integrado al futuro Pacto de Estado sobre emergencia climática. Con una estructura participativa sólida, acceso garantizado a información, capacidad de decisión y mecanismos de rendición de cuentas.

New paper out today in Ecology Letters! In this synthesis we dive into the equilibrium assumption in ecology - why it's everywhere in ecological theory, the evidence for it in nature, when meeting the assumption is important, how to achieve it in empirical research, and more! tinyurl.com/yh6kyysm

Comenzamos el reto #30DayMapChallenge 2025!! El tema de hoy es: Puntos, así que hemos pensado en hacer un mapa... con las ubicaciones de los y las integrantes de EcoInformática AEET! Es un mapa interactivo #leaflet, que además puedes ver alojado en nuestra web (ecoinfaeet.github.io/miembros.html)

🌼🌡️ 🐝 Thermal conditions can directly reshape species interaction networks under climate change. ⬇️ In this invited short piece, I discuss how temperature-driven shifts in pollinators’ foraging choices, revealed by a new study, can cascade through entire plant–pollinator networks.

📝 The first plant-pollinator interaction network in Europe maps the intimate connections between pollinators and the plants they visit. 🔎 Check out the latest #SafeguardPractices: www.safeguard.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/Project/Publ...

When publishing a paper about an R package, how do you ensure the source code is permanently stored? CRAN or GitHub does not grant long-term persistence. Is issuing a DOI via linking GitHub with Zenodo a good idea for R packages? Or are there better ways? Maybe @ropensci.org knows.

The new Wiley journal review system is an absolute nightmare. Editorial assistants have been replaced by a clunky, AI-enabled website that makes it harder to find and invite reviewers. Associate editor workloads have increased. I'm not convinced the invitations to reviewers are even going through.

What sustains biodiversity? 🌿🌸🐝🐦‍⬛ It’s not just about species, it’s also about individuals.   Our new paper in @esajournals.bsky.social Ecol. Monogr. shows how the way individuals specialize on their mutualistic partners can scale up to shape species persistence.   🔗 doi.org/10.1002/ecm....

¡Aviso importante para editores, autores y revisores! 🚨 El próximo 2 de octubre migramos nuestros servicios de alojamiento a @pkp.sfu.ca (PKP) y actualizamos a la versión OJS 3. Ese día la web y la plataforma editorial de la revista no estará operativa. Os contamos más detalles en este hilo.

This is absolutely amazing. Congratulations to the whole team! 👏 To all researchers out there: if you haven’t yet, I highly recommend checking out @peercommunityin.bsky.social and @peercomjournal.bsky.social. They’re outstanding venues for open and community-driven publishing.

Pollinators such as wild #bees, #butterflies, and #hoverflies are in trouble worldwide. A major new study, published in Science, shows that the oft-quoted figure of 10% semi-natural habitat in farmland landscapes is far too little to safeguard pollinators jeffollerton.co.uk/2025/09/26/p...

Hoy nos hemos manifestado para pedir el fin del genocidio en Gaza. Animamos a otros centros a contribuir con este tipo de acciones a incrementar la presión social sobre las instituciones y empresas que tienen capacidad para parar esta barbarie. #EBDxPalestina #CSICxPalestina #FreePalestine

We need much more semi-natural habitat (6-37%, depending on species group) in agricultural landscapes to effectively conserve pollinators. Large collaborative synthesis study looking at 59 studies in 1250 landscapes from 19 countries now published in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Today, we launched the biggest thing that Project Drawdown has ever done -- the Drawdown Explorer. It is the world's *ultimate* guide to effective climate action. The latest data, the best science... brought down to actionable *here and now* recommendations.

This is great to keep in mind! I also try to remember the objectives of the project and if my comments/edits are aligned with those or just me adding my personal preferences.
