How much will it take for people to accept that Israel is committing a genocide, and how many reports need to be released for our governments to stop it?

Hey, check out this new reflection on the challenges and paths for making scientific publishing more affordable, accessible, and equitable: peeer.net/2025/09/08/n...

Murciélagos y flores! 🦇🌸 In this new study, we show that both threatened and non-threatened bats are important for the structure and maintenance of bat-flower interaction networks at global and regional scales. #GlobalEcology link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Our paper on rodent thumbnails is out! Big team effort, powered by museum collections. Turns out, nails can reveal a lot about rodent evolution. Shoutout to Dr. Gordon Shepherd for the wild idea to study rodents thumbs!

🆕ECR feature: @drjoshbrian.bsky.social, postdoc researcher at King's College, London, reviewed the use of scale terms in plant biology🌱- highly relevant for biogeographical studies! Read about the interesting results Josh and his colleagues found: biogeographynews.org/2025/09/03/e...

What do Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Mortal Kombat have to teach us about #cultural #evolution? As a social-technological phenomenon, #arcade game genres evolved like cultural species—some diversified, while others became "living fossils." 🕹️🧪 👉 doi.org/10.1017/ehs....

Science deserves better than profit-driven publishing. Change starts from within the community — here’s how we can reclaim it: peeer.net/2025/08/18/r... #BetterPublishing

Scientific societies should rethink allowing for‑profit publishers at meetings. They may support the meeting in part, but these same publishers charge unsustainable fees year‑round and undercut academic independence. The trade‑off? Researchers lose. peeer.net/2025/08/04/t...

Para los que están aquí, mañana presento una charla en Valdivia acerca del trabajo realizado @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social.

Pesimismo de la inteligencia, optimismo de la voluntad. ("Universalizar la resistencia" de Noam Chomsky)

Two weeks ago, CPJ reported on Anas Al-Sharif getting threats from the IDF to cease reporting. He didn’t, and now he’s dead. He’s not the only journalist getting threats from the IDF. We partnered with @theintercept.com to document this horrific practice.

🚨Big news🚨 A Pocket Guide to Scientific Writing and Publishing is out🎉 This is the book I wish I’d had 20 years ago — short, practical, and designed to help researchers write & get their papers published I hope it helps many Please share with anyone who might benefit! 👉 mybook.to/ScienceGuide

Some great talks in the Botanical Research Across Borders symposium this morning, starting with a broad survey of botanists about equity of US / Mexico collaboration #Botany2025

What is spectral biology? We explain in this synthesis article on “Spectral biology across scales in changing environments” esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/R6QXPK www.spectralbiology.org

Artículo publicado antes de la impresión: "La centralidad de las aves en redes de interacción varía dentro de sus nichos climáticos" de Moulatlet et al. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... Artista: Roberto Ruiz, estudiante en maevolab.mx.

Why do endotherms spend so much energy? Juan G. Rubalcaba describes a theoretical model that shows that species followed one of two possible evolutionary patches: live fast while spending a lot, or live slowly and keep your costs low. Read now! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

In this paper, we identify the main factors that determine the spatial variation in richness of the hyperdiverse snake family Dipsadidae. Current climate outperforms historical factors in this case. #Macroecology #Snakes onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Actions to address the gender gap in @natmicrobiol.nature.com include paying attention to diversity in commissionned reviews 👏 Great to see initiatives that go beyond contributions in "career perspectives" sections or opinions on the role of women in STEM. #GirlsWannaTalkScience

A bit late from the World Bee Day, but on the Biological Diversity Day, our study on Bee richness in the Atlantic Forest is out. Not all the components of Environmental Heterogeneity are equally important for bee richness in this important biome 👇 biogeography.pensoft.net/articles.php...

It's me! I'm so honored to be giving a talk as part of this series (and excited to share some fresh 💩 coming out of our lab).

🏔 species redistribution We found limited evidence, so far, for #mountaintop #extinction, lowland #biotic #attrition & #range-shifts gaps despite climate-driven upslope range shifts 🌡📈 Biotic homogenization on its way along mountain slopes 🗻🏔⛰️ 🧪🌐🌍🏔🌳🌲🦋🦎🐦🦔 @science.org shorturl.at/Fdrlo

▶️Well-intentioned suggestion for any research applications◀️ 1️⃣ Include brief but meaningful info on your stat skills in your CV! -> "R expert" is not enough!!!! 2️⃣ Focus your letter on your most relevant skills & achievements. 3️⃣ HAVE a proper website! Orcid & Researchgate aren't proper!

I'm excited to share a new paper, led by Marta Jarzyna and Leo Ohyama, on regional species pools-- a fundamental concept in ecology and biogeography that is poorly defined and understood, but which is essential for understanding and protecting biodiversity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

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! 🧬🧬
