Exciting to see our new paper exploring how human activities reshape predator–prey interactions featured on this month's cover of TREE! A big thanks to @predator-smarts.bsky.social and the team, and to Angus Emmott for the fantastic cover photo! Open-Access paper 👉 www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

🌸 🐝 Have you ever seen a bee sleeping? This tiny solitary bee in Doñana has found the perfect spot to rest among the petals of a flower. Our fieldwork sometimes gives us moments like this. Beautiful reminders of just how extraordinary wildlife is.

Our manuscript “Multiple global-change drivers and cascading effects in Mediterranean ecosystems: Lessons from an iconic national park” has been accepted for publication in @conservationsp.bsky.social. The preprint is available here: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v... @ebdonana.bsky.social #Doñana

Reminder, next Monday, April 13, at noon ET is the next webinar in our Statistical Methods series co-hosted with the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social. Abby Keller will present on “The {eDNAjoint} R package to analyze environmental DNA data” Register: bit.ly/40TyxVy Details: bit.ly/efi-esa-stat...

Ya disponible nuestro artículo en el último número de @revistaquercus.bsky.social, donde presentamos la actualización del catálogo de especies de vertebrados de #Doñana: www.revistaquercus.es/noticia/9340... #Biodiversidad @ebdonana.bsky.social @laenavarro.bsky.social

Why is publishing so expensive? In this Editorial, we (@katherine-brown.bsky.social @drmichaelway.bsky.social & @seemagrewal.bsky.social) provide details and context on JCS's finances, and hope to dispel some of the myths around the economics of publishing. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Reminder: a little over one week left to submit abstracts for the individual‑based conservation topical collection. Happy to chat if you’re considering contributing!

The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think. We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science. Read more and sign here: www.slow-science.com

New research just out in J Evol Biol: led by @lbliard.bsky.social with @jsmartin.bsky.social @dzchilds.bsky.social @paniw.bsky.social & Arpat Ozgul using the very cool Covariance Reaction Norm approach to test environmental dependence of trade-offs in great tits academic.oup.com/jeb/advance-...

🌧️☀️ Are reproductive tradeoffs fixed, or do they shift with the environment? 🐦 Using 58 years of great tit data, @lbliard.bsky.social applies a new covariance reaction norm to test whether ecological harshness reshapes the classic quantity–quality tradeoff. Old questions. New stats. Fresh insights

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/...

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

Fue un placer enorme participar en esta reunión ❤️ muchas gracias a los organizadores 😘

join us now for an exciting seminar!

Did all of science peak in 2021 and is yet to recover from the pandemic? Jeremy Fox has a new post about this. I know my own productivity didn’t go up (altho citations did!) even in the 1st year of covid (existential fights for tenure can do that) & I’ve continued to struggle with motivation since.

Lovely piece on how meerkats deal with climate change by @chameauleon.bsky.social in National Geographic: www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti... I had the pleasure to chat with Camille about the importance of understanding how extreme heat changes food availability 🐛 for meerkats

...Orcas use dolphins to increase their chances of locating salmon; dolphins gain protection from predators and feast on bite-sized salmon scraps. Dolphins have even been seen tossing salmon to orcas to break it into more manageable pieces: wapo.st/4aJuZeE (gift). 🌎

Trump thinks immigrants will destroy Europe. The truth is the opposite. This column is about the long arc of population change, the hybridity of European cultures, and the widely-misinterpreted results of demographic momentum. Big issues we need to understand. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Interested in doing a PhD in biodiversity predictions 📈🐦🌸🪲📈? The Ciaxa Foundation has launched a call for PhD fellowships in 🇪🇸 Excellence Research Centers. @ebdonana.bsky.social is one of them: lacaixafoundation.org/en/doctoral-... 🧪🌎

Issue #54 of the EFI Newsletter is now available at: conta.cc/3MpMWF0 Lots of info about - conferences, including the new EFI2026 Conference website, - a Social Science and Ecoforecasting Award RFP due Dec 15, - upcoming virtual seminars, - new community manuscript guidelines and more!

#biologging #research is booming - but do #loggers actually impact the birds? Yes, they do - depending on the mass and attachment location. If you work with biologging, you should read our latest publication seapop.no/en/2025/11/l... @ninanatureresearch.bsky.social #seabirds

🚨 Job alert 🚨 Postdoc position in ecological forecasting 📈 as part of the Horizon Europe OSCARS call. The postdoc will be based in lovely Sevilla (fantastic place to live) and will include working closely with several European forecasting projects. Apply by Dec 11! 🌎🧪 globalchangeeco.com/jobs

Are you involved in ecological forecasting in Europe? We’re mapping forecasting applications across the continent — from SDMs to observatories with predictive potential. Our goal: make EU forecasting more connected and identify both immediate and long-term forecasting potential.

It’s a great initiative! Submit your projects

🧊 Did your model freeze in time? Let’s bring it back to life! Join our hands-on workshop “Building Near-Term Iterative Forecasting Workflows” at #TIBS2026 – Aarhus, 6 Jan 2026 🌍 We’ll explore how to turn static predictions into dynamic, self-updating forecasts. @paniw.bsky.social

Levantarse un sábado y que un grupo de jóvenes japoneses, me hagan sentir vieja. Mal.

Super hyped that our project *PREDICT – Platform for REsilient Data Integration and Coordinated Forecasting Tools* is among the selected ones - oscars-project.eu/news/2nd-osc... We will demystify complex ecological predictions to make them usable for decision makers. @ebdonana.bsky.social

Un evento fantástico! Apuntaros!

A technology feature in Nature describes how ‘digital twins’ of real-world objects are moving from manufacturing to wildlife management and how it’s helping ecologists, including predicting migration patterns. 🧪

Crazy!

Plants may seem to do well under anthropogenic land use, but add climate change to the mix of stressors and it becomes clear that many species are hanging in by a thin thread

PhD offer on island extinctions. Last week to apply! 👇🏼

Fantastic piece by @hg-richardson.bsky.social. The crane example is just cool, and you can find more info about the Doñana one here: globalchangeeco.com/icom (soon to move to its own website), with @lifewatcheric.bsky.social

Very cool

I am really proud of this study! It was led by an amazing ECR, highlights the work of a wonderful team of co-authors, and has resulted in a database of mechanistic demographic models currently being expanded to include underrepresented taxa to do comparative forecasts: github.com/MariaPaniw/C...

🔵 Nuestro último estudio revela que el 74% de los lobos que mueren en Europa y Norteamérica lo hacen por causas humanas. En Europa es el 86%. 👉La caza (legal e ilegal) es la causa del 60% de las muertes de lobos. Esta cifra asciende al 70% en Europa. 🔗 www.ebd.csic.es/divulgacion/...

Hoy nos hemos manifestado para pedir el fin del genocidio en Gaza. Animamos a otros centros a contribuir con este tipo de acciones a incrementar la presión social sobre las instituciones y empresas que tienen capacidad para parar esta barbarie. #EBDxPalestina #CSICxPalestina #FreePalestine

This resonates with me while trying to establish a CMR protocol for dung beetles! 🪲 The more you talk to people, the more they tell you it’s impossible for most insects because of extremely low recapture rates… but it’s one of those negative results everyone just buries! A sort of unspoken rule

Brilliant 🤩
