🧵 Why are there so many habitat-specialist squirrels? A new global study explores how habitat specialization has shaped squirrel evolution 👇🐿️🌍

Beyond excited to announce that as of today I officially started a Ramón y Cajal 5-year senior fellowship (tenure-track) at University of Alcalá in Madrid, if you are interested in birds & vertebrate macroevolution & you like sun & good food, hit me up to explore postdoc or PhD opportunities!

#EBDSeminars Join us to explore ecosystem resilience through mammal communities spanning millions of years! 🔹Connecting the past: how ecological networks reveal the dynamics of ancient ecosystems 🔸 @fernandoblancos.bsky.social 📅6th November, 13:00h CET Live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhu_...

🦴 The Doñana National Park serves as a natural laboratory for investigating fossilization processes in a Mediterranean climate. Published in PLOS ONE, a new study offers a new perspective on bone weathering. 🔗 www.ebd.csic.es/en/outreach/... 📄 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

A new chapter begins! Starting this September, I’ll be working on bird macroevolution at @ebdonana.bsky.social . Excited for this new adventure and the amazing research ahead 🐦🐤🪶

👨‍🔬Also Joaquín Calatayud, #IICG researcher, is co-authors of the new article ‘Two major ecological shifts shaped 60 million years of ungulate faunal evolution’, published in @natcomms.nature.com   👀You can read it here👇

🚨 I'm looking for #Postdoc opportunities starting this September! 🧑‍🔬🔍 I'm a highly motivated researcher with experience in R, network analysis, and multivariate statistics. My focus is on the evolution of ecosystems and biodiversity over deep time.

¡Nueva publicación de soci@s! 🗣️ Un nuevo estudio liderado por @fernandoblancos.bsky.social  explora cómo los cambios ambientales impactaron en los grandes #mamíferos y sus ecosistemas durante el Neógeno 🐘🌍 👉 Léelo aquí: https://sepaleontologia.es/?p=1423 #SEPsocios #Paleontología #CambioClimático

Los ecosistemas resistieron cambios muy abruptos en el pasado, pero ahora pueden colapsar www.lavanguardia.com/vida/2025060...

🦏🦣🦌 LARGE paper alert!!! We tracked 60 million years of large herbivore evolution—over 3,000 fossil species—to uncover how ecosystems have changed and reorganized through time. What we found might help us understand the next big tipping point 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Back from a fun 10 days @imsi.institute in Chicago 🇺🇲, working as part of an Interdisciplinary Research Cluster on 'Advances in Mathematical Modelling of mass extinction events'. Great collaborations and some thought-provoking work!

Call for a postdoc position at Vilnius University. If you are interested in doing innovative macroevolutionary, macroecological, geobiological research in my group please write me: [email protected] or PM. Duration of the project 2 years, budget up to 130K euro. 1/2 #Paleobio ⚒️ #Geology

Hola! El 26 de marzo a las 15:00 en la Facultad de Ciencias Geológicas (UCM) proyectamos Off the Archeological Record. Después, abrimos debate en una mesa redonda con la arqueóloga y guionista Paloma Zarzuela, y las paleontólogas Mª Ángeles Álvarez Sierra y Dánae Sanz

Late for Darwin's big day, but a new paper adding to his great theory, addressing the persistence of ecological systems on long timescales. "Selection, evolution and persistence of paleoecological systems" www.frontiersin.org/journals/ear... #evolution #paleontology #selection

In 2021, in a paper led by @fernandoblancos.bsky.social published in @science.org we analyzed the evolution of functional faunas in large mammals from the Iberian Peninsula over the last 20 million years. …

Hey everyone! Since I’m new to BlueSky, I thought I’d share a quick summary of some of the main projects I’ve worked on over the past three years. Buckle up for some paleontology! 🦴⚒️💻
