In a recent paper @pnas.org, we found that the world’s oceans sort into six recurring “food-web types” shaped by temperature, productivity, and depth—functionally alike even when the species aren’t. A new baseline for tracking climate change. Check our video abstract: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAv2...

Great annual meeting of our @mncn-bgcg.bsky.social biogeography and global change group and departament at the @mncn-csic.bsky.social biological station of El Ventorrillo. Good to meet new members and witness the extraordinary work of PhD students and Postdocs. Thanks for the organizers.

#iDiv sabbatical @miguelbaraujo.bsky.social kicks of the annual conference of @idiv-research.bsky.social w an intro into modelling under #climatechange & a very interesting intro how to incorporate network properties into it #iDivconference2025

After two decades @ecography.bsky.social , I’m signing off. We grew the journal’s scope, navigated a smooth shift to OA, and kept community at the centre. Grateful to authors, reviewers and colleagues. Warmest wishes to my successor, @cnmeynard.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ecog...

Excited to the upcoming iDIV conference, where I will deliver a keynote on biodiversity modelling under climate change @idiv-research.bsky.social conference.idiv.de/event/3/page...

Portugal is expanding conservation to 30% to meet #Biodiversity2030 goals. New study highlights refugia where species can persist or shift under climate change—ensuring conservation supports climate-resilient conservation. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It’s often said, half in jest, that in the UK the third most important figure is the Queen of England — in this case, the King. Above the monarch is God. And above God is David Attenborough. Happy 99th birthday, Sir David Attenborough.

We’re in the 5th edition of the Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity. From youth movements to sustainable agriculture, we’ve honoured bold climate action. A privilege to serve under Presidents Sampaio & Merkel. The 2025 laureate will be announced in July. #ClimateAction

Según el investigador principal del proyecto, @miguelbaraujo.bsky.social: “Este enfoque nos permite pasar de una biogeografía centrada en las especies a otra centrada en las funciones ecológicas que sostienen los ecosistemas” www.mncn.csic.es/es/Comunicac...

We show that marine communities around the world exhibit trophic convergence in similar environments — a global pattern echoing what we also found on land. This challenges classic biogeographic models and opens new doors for predicting biodiversity responses to change. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Despite its promise, spatial conservation prioritisation (SCP) remains underused. In @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social, I argue that SCP must evolve beyond the scientific methodology to embrace the social and political contexts in which conservation decisions are made. www.maraujolab.eu/2025/03/31/c...

There wouldn’t be a scramble for Greenland if the Arctic weren’t melting. And yet it’s Trump—who denies climate change and bans the term from official documents—who’s now picking fights with historical allies in a bid to claim a chunk of ice he doesn’t even believe is melting.

Printed press: “oceans continue to bear the brunt of climate change and will keep warming, with excess heat dissipating as kinetic energy — fuelling extreme winds — and as intense evaporation, leading to heavy rainfall.” www.maraujolab.eu/2025/03/28/t... @jornalexpresso.bsky.social

Wealth in the US is largely the product of a virtuous combination of good science and a good environment for innovation and business. If you start creating a hostile environment for science and scientists, the US economy will crumble like a house of cards.

I was honoured to be invited by the Oceano Azul Foundation to brief President Macron on environmental issues. During our brief meeting, I spoke about the connections between oceans, climate, and biodiversity and found Emmanuel Macron to be a sharp and attentive listener.

Climate change is reshaping ecosystems. Specialised species face greater risks in the tropics, while generalists expand into high-latitudes. Using new models, we predict shifts in trophic communities, leading to more uniform distribution of feeding groups. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
