We know that marine fishes 🐠 have an inverse gradient of speciation compared to that of spp richness, with higher speciation at higher latitudes. But, what about freshwater 🐟? Find out in the new PhD paper by Juliana Herrera-Pérez and friends (not just colleagues) 🤿 👇 shorturl.at/zgKfA

What do we know about mammal biodiversity patterns in the American tropics? Find out in the new book chapter by @liomys.mx and yours truly 👇 link.springer.com/rwe/10.1007/... The whole book is a gem for those interested in the study of mammals of one of the world's most diverse regions!

🚨 New paper out in @ecography.bsky.social ! 📝 Led by Dr. Søren Faurby, we built upon the estimated unrecorded bird extinctions by @r-cooke.bsky.social et al. 2023 and try to estimate the corresponding unrecorded loss of phylogenetic diversity. 🦤🧬 Check the full paper here: doi.org/10.1002/ecog...

Ever wondered what comes first in evolution: changes in climatic niche or changes in morphology? Does climate pull species, or do organisms evolve first and then shift their niches? This is one of macroevolution’s most persistent open questions.

As we get into the final parts of the amazing meeting that #TIBS2026 was, a reminder to follow and share the starter pack for ECRs in Biogeography: go.bsky.app/KvnmdnK And a reminder to check it again, as we've had many new additions over the conference. See you all at the dinner!

TIBS 2026 conference was a great opportunity to keep disseminating the @peeer.bsky.social initiative and to present the field's New, Diamond 💎 Open Access journal @biogeographyjfab.bsky.social Grateful to Michael N. Dawson for the leadership and trust to co-lead this new endeavour #TIBS2026

Huh, here's something I wasn't aware of, microendemism is common with flat lizards in the Brazilian Caatinga. Needless to say it's really a species complex rather than sharply delineated species. 🧪🌍🌿 #Ecology

Jared Diamond puts the case that geography and biogeography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and First Nations Peoples in 'Australia'.

Scientists, it’s been a rough week. And honestly, we don’t lift each other up enough—especially when it comes to mental health. Our careers are built on repetitive rejection of papers, grants, and jobs. That doesn’t define you. You and your science are incredible. Just wanted to remind you of that.
