Why relying on the "equlilibrium assumption", i.e., biodiversity being in an equilibrium state w/ its environmental conditions, to model biodiversity trends in response to environmental changes? ➡️ We propose a paradigm shift: embracing the quasi-permanent non-equilibrium state 🤯 shorturl.at/qU99d

I did not know about the Mertonian norms: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mertoni.... Science should be based on communism (or communalism), universalism, disinterestedness, and organized skepticism.

Five 3-year Postdoc positions open at @ebdonana.bsky.social. I am happy to sponsor and mentor good candidates working in my field, but note that these are quite independent positions aimed at helping stabilize new researchers in the system. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4nqkq...

Meanwhile, in Industry: - arithmetic operations? AI! - bunch of SQL queries? AI! - bunch of ifelses in a trenchcoat? AI! - tree-based model? AI! - k-means clustering? AI! Everything looks like AI if one is dumb enough.

Really excited that our #causalinference for climate change paper is out today! @dudney-joan.bsky.social, @lauradee.bsky.social , @econservation.bsky.social, @katherinesiegel.bsky.social were such an awesome team, and I hope this is a useful one for researchers in the field!

New paper out on the dangers of using patterns across spatial climate gradients to predict what will happen with changing climate. That includes species distribution modeling. Space-for-time substitution can be misleading in sign, not just the magnitude of effects. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We should broaden models, not narrow them. Models are tools to explore uncertainty, communicate scenarios, and test policy. Managers seek robust strategies, not perfect forecasts. What a great paper from @cboettig.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #Forecasting #Ecology 🌐
