Looks like a fundamental study and approach ... Limited thermal tolerance in tropical insects and its genomic signature. Insects at high elevations utilize plasticity to cope with rising temperatures, whereas lowland species have limited plastic abilities. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🌐

Insects living in the lowland tropics have evolved to deal with brutal heat. But many of them are close to their limit, according to a massive study that assessed the heat tolerance of hundreds of species. https://scim.ag/406Y5yh

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

A cada like eu darei uma resposta simples do pq essa pergunta é simplesmente imbecil.

Health, education, housing, homelessness, addictions, culture, etc… all of those need more budget… but this is where the world decides to spend 🥺 aje.news/0ez0ui

Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars? These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research. So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

Last call! Our next Important Shark and Ray Areas workshop will focus on the North American and Caribbean Atlantic and North American Pacific. Preliminary areas of interest must be submitted to [email protected] by February 6th. Spread the word to interested colleagues!

New paper out today! "Fossil otolith assemblages reveal millennial-scale changes in reef fish biomass and trophic structure across the Isthmus of Panama" 🔓https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2024.0419 We used fossil fish otoliths to reconstruct community structure and energetics over millennia.

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out. As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class. Here's what happened:

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...

Americans need to come to grips with the reality that the world doesn't see Trump as the threat but America itself.

É inacreditável. Esse valor MENSAL é de 3 a 4,5 vezes o orçamento total anual (esse pífio) das Universidades Federais

Let that sink in! Instead the world’s leaders are fighting for soon to be dead product because they like how it was when they were young 🫠

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

They’ll keep saying this over and over until the bubble bursts and then it’ll be chaos… a completely manufactured (and avoidable) crisis 🙄

The fisheries minister from Brazil has a point but needs to work harder to enact fisheries management and end open access fisheries in the country. Otherwise we’ll just end up with even more overexploited and collapsed fisheries, harming people, species, and the climate 👎🏼

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels. 10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C 20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

Researchers have built the first model mapping supply and demand in Indonesia’s vast songbird trade. The model offers a blueprint for conservation strategies, highlighting the need for market monitoring and community engagement.

Heat extremes attributable to climate change have led to a 25–38% average reduction in monitored tropical bird populations since 1950, according to a study in Nature Ecology & Evolution. go.nature.com/3UIIpP7 🧪

The Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina has been thinning at a sharply accelerated rate since 2019, scientists reported on Thursday. And if the thinning doesn’t slow, it could kick-start a series of changes that might cause the ice to shrink even faster. nyti.ms/4lgguR2
