Our new paper @asn-amnat.bsky.social develops a Grand Unified Theory including both exploitative and interference competition doi.org/10.1086/737628. The R* rule of ecology (that 2 species cannot coexist on a single resource), is widely broken, including via a new trade-off we describe. 1/9

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB! 🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Super pride to be part of the team responsible for this paper. It's a much needed contribution to fish invasions

Proud of this #OpenAccess paper where we experimentally show that invasive Gambusia impacts a threatened cyprinodontiform fish through water quality degradation and competition. Led by @irene-gil-luna.bsky.social, Lluís Zamora and myself @greco-udg.bsky.social @iea-udg.bsky.social. #bioinvasions

1/ Invasional meltdown is a popular but nebulous concept in invasion ecology. It involves multiple direct & indirect mechanisms, yet it is rarely studied beyond simple pairwise facilitations. In a new paper, we expand the concept & offer testable hypotheses: redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/Ri...

July's meeting of the EcoAqua research group. Lots of interesting talks, amazing research and fun interactions. I've talked a bit about Open Science and we all made some drawings (sooo glad that we all focused on an academic and not an artistic life..haha). Looking forward to the next meetings!

Super interesting talk from @oldenfish.bsky.social at the @iea-udg.bsky.social on bounty programs for "controlling" species. Glad to have you here!

Interested in #bioinvasions in Latin America or the Caribbean? Please join this WhatsApp group. It began as participants in our symposium at #XIIICLB and is growing. We hope it will become a forum to share ideas and develop collaborations. 🧪 🌎🌱🌐 chat.whatsapp.com/D6kGcqCbykkI...

📢 Dijous vinent, no us perdeu el seminari del Professor Jamie Knitel de la California State University. Una oportunitat única per aprofundir en ecologia i canvi ambiental! 🌱 📅 Dijous 20 de març 🕚 11:00 h 📍 Sala de Graus, Facultat de Ciències, UdG @greco-udg.bsky.social

Successful kick-off meeting of #Proyecto_SALTFISH last Friday at @mncn-csic.bsky.social @csic.es. @mncn-csic.bsky.social @greco-udg.bsky.social @iea-udg.bsky.social @michaelmargalef.bsky.social @shaunkillen.bsky.social @ana-franco.bsky.social @carolinammuniz.bsky.social

Glad to coauthor this paper led by Matheus Aleixo (UEM, Maringá, Brazil) and published in @biolinvasions.bsky.social “Effects of lake area, depth, and isolation on native and non-native fish of a Neotropical floodplain” @carolinammuniz.bsky.social doi.org/10.1007/s105...

First up, in the article that inspired our cover art, Camila Ribas and colleagues review the influence of Amazonian geological history in shaping the region’s rich biodiversity. go.nature.com/3Cbru1W

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

"Nas últimas décadas os peixamentos têm se tornado cada vez mais comuns no Brasil. Contudo, especialistas alertam para os riscos ambientais e a falta de embasamento científico que cercam essas iniciativas, cheias de interesses eleitoreiros". Matéria em parceria com @Jean Vitule

A major challenge in restoration ecology is the widespread belief that there is a correct natural community for any given location, and that identifying it is the first step in recreating it. 1/6

Strategic planning for hydropower siting can meet energy needs without requiring hundreds of new dams that threaten migratory fish in Brazil. www.nature.com/articles/s41... With @oldenfish.bsky.social @messamat.bsky.social #Hydropower #RenewableEnergy #Hidrelétrica #Energia

"(...)the real issue (...) was the systemic barriers—the ways the academic structure itself, with its relentless relocations, temporary contracts, and focus on individual achievement, makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury" www.science.org/content/arti...

Updating the #IUCN status of marine fish using AI shows that x5 more species are threatened with extinction than previously thought! see our study in Plos Biol with @nloiseau.bsky.social 👉 doi.org/10.1371/jour... 🔑 This silent extinction affects 12,7% of marine fishes (1337 species) ! 🧪🌐🌍🦤🦑
