Funded PhD opportunity!!🧪🌎 Wanna improve how biodiversity is monitored & protected? Keen to work with large datasets & quantitative methods? This PhD could be for you! Fully-funded PhD at University of Reading with IoZ & UKCEH (UK or settled status applicants) www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

What a pickle! What makes a distinct taxon? What should we protect? One new paper led by @brookebiologist.bsky.social gives us food for thought 🌎🧪 Morphology, ecology and behaviour of the Golfo Dulce yellow sea 🐍 tell us one story... genetics 🧬 tell us another doi.org/10.1093/zool... 👇

Super happy that @kerrys189.bsky.social passed her viva with no corrections!! 🥳🥳🥳 Congratulations, Dr. Stewart!! The EcCo lab will miss you, but we know you are off to do amazing things Thanks to the excellent examiners @alexpigot.bsky.social & @vlboult.bsky.social

New paper out on how human activities impact taxonomic vs functional biodiversity, led by @kerrys189.bsky.social

🧵New paper + open database drop! The Marine Organismal Body Size ( #MOBS ) Database is now live—85,000+ marine species, from plankton to whales, with standardized size data. A huge leap for biodiversity, conservation, and climate science. #science #marinelife onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper! led by Ruben Bernardo-Madrid "A general rule on the organization of biodiversity in Earth’s biogeographical regions" in NEE @natureportfolio.nature.com Read it here: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

What a pleasure to examine PhDs like this one, great science and people Also a return to my first academic institution, I finished my studies in UAM in June 2000, leaving to start an adventure in graduate school in the USA.
