We have NEWS😱! Various members of @integradiv.bsky.social will participate in @britishecologicalsociety.org BES2025 and @biogeography.bsky.social TIBS2026. Want to know who and what we are presenting? Here you have all the information👇

Watch this if you can! It was a fantastically insightful lecture about what determines species distributions and patterns of abundance within them.

Help us spread the word! PhD offer @creaf.cat #islands #fossil 🏝️

A species of #Heteropolygonatum #Asparagaceae from #Myanmar and western Yunnan #Gaoligongshan is described as new to science by botanists from @mobotgarden.bsky.social and @thebotanics.bsky.social in #EJBotany #OpenAcess: bit.ly/46IqSMs

Today at WashU’s EEB seminar, I presented a new species diversification model that incorporates regional species diversity into rates of evolution through time (a joint work w/ @landismj.bsky.social). Slides here: sites.google.com/view/albert-... Preprint hopefully will be here this month #evobio

A reminder that @biogeography.bsky.social will host Dr. Brian McGill for Funk lecture this Wednesday! Be there or be square!

Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... ), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants

Registration for this year's YSF is open!!! Abstract deadline: October 25th 2025 11:59PM GMT+1 Registration deadline: November 1st 2025 11:59PM GMT+0 Link: tinyurl.com/2w5n3e8

New R-package alert! 🚨 With tabs it has never been easier to reconstruct altitudinal shifts of biogeographical systems over time. Whether in the ocean 🏝️, shallow seas 🪸 or mountains ⛰️; tabs can project spatial configurations shaped by climatic conditions. ➡️ doi.org/10.21425/fob...

How do tropical #trees deal with droughts? The answer is published today in @science.org Our pantropical #treering analysis revealed 2.5% growth reduction during #drought years. Yet, growth declined by >10% in 1/4 of 500 study sites, and in hotter & drier regions. doi.org/10.1126/scie... 🌍🍁🌐 (1/4)
