Excited to share our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com We synthesize causal discovery & inference approaches across traditions (regression adjustment, quasi-expts, SEMs, Granger causality, convergent cross-mapping, and more) into a unified workflow for ecologists. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

An excellent three-post take on one of the many facets of the recent Spinosaurus/Myhrvold/Epstein controversy. Science journalists, this story really needs covering! #scicomm #science #ethics #epstein

This is very unfortunate, because we are facing a big and largely unexplored issue in research ethics that goes way beyond the individual case. It could really do with being widely debated in public. We are used to thinking of research ethics mostly in terms of the research itself (no cheating, no

Super honoured to have contributed to this epic piece of work, lead masterfully by @szymon-czyzewski.bsky.social. We review multiple lines of palaeoecological evidence to reassess vegetation structure over the last 23 million years: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper out examining fish food web degradation in the Anthropocene. We show the structure of aquatic food webs are changing-- even when species richness doesn’t. These signals are strongly associated with decreases in body size within fish communities. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🌐🐠🐡🦈🐟

🚨New dinosaur! The latest salvo in the Spinosaurus saga. A Spinosaurus looking like Elvis, with an outrageous bony head crest. Discovered in the Sahara by my undergrad mentor Paul Sereno & his team. Super cool! But I'm sure nobody on the internet will care about it... 😉

New study: “Investigating Collaboration Needs in Ecological restoration.” Led by @timalamenciak.bsky.social with several @uvicenvi.bsky.social co-authors, we report on the importance of bridging the science-practice gap in restoration. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

From our Chinese New Year celebration at @econovoau.bsky.social today (a little early)

Our new paper presents a framework for analysing the processes that generate novel ecosystems, discussing different conceptual and practical approaches across ecological disciplines. You can read it, open access, in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

What do we want? Fossil databases! 🐚🦕 When do we want them? Forever! 🗓️ Nice new paper highlighting how academic funding systems and digital architecture need to change, to ensure we can protect and sustain our precious fossil data 📚 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 For those with access to collections of bird specimens: we are looking for collaborators who can quickly measure bulbuls/greenbuls (Pycnonotidae) for a project on intraspecific trait variation. We need 100s specimens measured from common species in return for co-authorship. Anyone up for it? 🧪🌐🪶

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

For #FossilFriday I’m pleased to announce our new paper on investigating the cranial performance and evolution of feeding behavior in tyrannosauroids and other theropods. Here’s a thread on some of our major findings. #Dinosaurs #Paleontology #Tyrannosaurus #Theropods

Are narratives of total biosphere collapse helpful? Is ecological 'novelty' necessarily bad? What can the past tell us about the human capacity to mould and adapt to future conditions? Red more in our new paper out in @royalsocietypublishing.org Phil Trans B: doi.org/10.1098/rstb... 🌏🧪🌐

Our new paper is online! We found that 1) today's shark & ray diversity was already reached ~100Ma; 2) that the K/Pg extinction was not catastrophic; 3) that the max diversity was reached ~50Ma; and 4) that today's diversity is depleted compared to the past. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Our paper on the mysterious Devonian organism Prototaxites has now finally been published! See the paper here (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) and our explainer thread below! Prototaxites reconstruction by Matt Humpage

We are recruiting a Postdoc in computational biology, together with @mariasecrier.bsky.social 4yr, fully funded by @cancerresearchuk.org, ideal for Postdocs wanting to develop their independence Applications open now: www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-...

My collaborator at University of Copenhagen, Anders Garm, is looking for a 3 year postdoc to work on bioluminescence, neurobiology and ecology of ctenophores. More information here: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

We knew that trees produced lots of pollen, which always biased our interpretation of the past towards truly forested landscapes. This manuscript led by @kijumil.bsky.social challenges that view!

Just a reminder to follow and share our ECR Biogeography starter pack - and if you've already followed, double check you haven't missed any recent additions!

🚨 New paper!🚨 Our postdoc @atengstedt.bsky.social and colleagues just published a PNAS study presenting a genomics‑informed framework for deciding when genetic rescue is likely to work🌱 Even moderate genomic data can give conservation teams the confidence they need to act faster and smarter!💡

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!

Had some great discussion at my poster at #TIBS2026 on our recent paper on climate change impacts on malaria vector mosquitoes. Thanks everyone who dropped by! It'll still be up for a couple of hours at poster number 2026 (I know - what are the odds?)

Proud of @emmamarjakangas.bsky.social for showcasing her insights on seed dispersal vulnerability to global change, a key part of her #EcoNet #MSCA project with me at @econovoau.bsky.social. Take-home: habitat change main driver of vulnerability, but adaptability is high 📢⏩ doi.org/10.1111/ele....

This morning, I’m at the biocultural geography session at #TIBS2026 - and it’s pretty awesome! Lots of cultural evolution and creative transfer of methods from biogeography to issues of linguistic and cultural evolution.
