🚨 Our study investigating the relationship between evolutionary age and range size across plants and animals is out in @natcomms.nature.com! Delighted to be part of this great project led by @adrianaalzate.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🌐📈⏳️🐐🐋🐦🦎🐸🐠🌴🏝

A new @natcomms.nature.com study led by iDiv alumna @adrianaalzate.bsky.social @naturalis.bsky.social uncovered that across >26,000 species evolutionary age is positively linked to range size, except in marine mammals. #Biodiversity #Evolution #iDivResearch www.idiv.de/older-specie...

I just added a logo to my readme file on my @github.com and its the small win I needed today. github.com/crmcclain/MO...

My new wood-fall review paper out with @divaamon.bsky.social @sydneymcdermott.bsky.social and others onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #science #deepsea #marinelife

Our special issue on predictive biogeography @ecography.bsky.social will be out in March, including amazing contributions. In the meantime, all papers are already in early view, and you can read the editorial here: nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🧪🌐

Dispersal evolution can only rescue a limited set of species from climate change https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.05.626982v1

Now brace for the bad news... Water is super warm here (29C, 84F) and there is a lot of bleaching, all the way down to the deep reefs. All of the fire corals (Millepora) that I saw were bleached, as well as about 20% of the critically endangered Elkhorn Coral (Acropora palmata).

Interested in #metacommunity dynamics in #natural systems? I'll be looking for a #PostDoc to study temporary #ponds in the #Camargue using #eDNA & #spatial analyses. Topic is broad & includes #metafoodwebs, #BEF, #parasites, #EcoHealth. Contact me via e-mail if interested!

New #PhD position in #Island #Ecology This is a fully funded 4-year joint PhD position (Cotutelle) with my lab at Macquarie U (julianschrader.wordpress.com) and the lab of Rampal Etienne (research.rug.nl/en/persons/rampal-etienne) at @unigroningen.bsky.social Please spread the word widely! :)

I am looking for a PhD student to start in fall of 2025 at MSU. Potential topics include trait-based approaches to plankton community resilience, temperature effects on communities, harmful algal blooms and many others. Please get in touch if interested. More info: www.kl-lab.group.

@icrs.bsky.social and the organizers of ICRS_2022 from @unibremen.bsky.social established a new award to support green strategies for coral reef-related events. Each year (2024-2028) up to $10,000 will be awarded to the host institutions organizing such events. See coralreefs.org/sustainabili...
