Cover of the April 2026 issue of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment
The April cover of "Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment" captures Svalbard's Arctic grasslands—just 1 site included in a recent review that draws on experiments across 6 continents to reveal how rangelands are shaped by grazing & nutrient inputs worldwide

Nuevo paper! En los pastizales pampeanos, la exclusión del ganado ayudaba a mantener la diversidad de plantas nativas 🐄🌼🌱🌷
Sin embargo, desde hace unas décadas, favorece la invasión de festuca (Festuca arundinacea), lo que se intensifica aún más por la fertilización 🌾🌾🌾

⚠️New paper out! In the Pampa Grasslands, cattle exclusion once helped maintain native plant diversity 🐄🌼🌱🌷. But over the past decades, it shifted to favor the invasion of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), a process further intensified by nutrient addition 🌾🌾🌾

📖Publsihed!
In the Patagonian steppe, coexistence between shrubs and grasses boosts productivity through facilitation rather than resource partitioning — showing that positive interactions are key for ecosystem functioning⛰️ 🌱

What do dozens of sites across the world reveal about rangeland ecosystem services? New work in our journal "Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment"⬇️
Payment-based open access is biasing scientific participation from the Global South in ecology. See the numbers in our brand new article in Oikos, led by Pablo Huais and Javier Nori. Link 👇

Contenta de compartir la publicación de este paper!
Con datos globales estandarizados de #NutNet, cuantificamos la provisión de múltiples servicios ecosistémicos en tierras dedicadas al pastoreo🦌🐄🦬 y su respuesta a excluir herbívoros y fertilizar🌿🌏💫

Happy to share that our new paper is out!
We quantify multiple ecosystem services in rangelands with standardized global data from #NutNet 🦌🐄🦬, and show how their synergies and trade-offs shift with grazing exclusion and fertilization 🌿🌏💫

Ante la asfixia seguimos metiendo goles: Agostina Torres acaba de ganar el prestigioso Premio Southwood a autorías jóvenes en Journal of Applied Ecology. FELICITACIONES, Agostina!
ohh que linda foto! Gracias por dejarme compartir ese momento 🫶
Illustration showing a person examining a plant with text about the scarcity of plant taxonomists worldwide.
Plant taxonomy is disappearing - and so is our ability to protect species 🍂
Nearly half of countries have fewer than 10 plant taxonomists. Kew is working to close the gap, but we need more experts fast.

Quería contarles que Milei decidió un nuevo recorte brutal al CONICET. Para los ingresos de 2023, que estaban bloqueados, decidió que ingrese menos de la mitad de los investigadores que deberían. Pero además intentaron que el cupo excluya totalmente a las ciencias sociales.
🦑 Squid squad alert! This may be a type of whiplash squid from the family Mastigoteuthidae. Filmed during the #MarDelPlataCanyon in Argentina, where an international science team is exploring the diversity & distribution of seafloor communities in one of the country’s largest deep-sea canyons. 🇦🇷

For me the earth is small

Everyone here in Argentina is OBSESSED with the images coming from this exploration of the bottom of the sea near the coast of Mar del Plata.
Highly recommended 🤩
Vamos #conicet!!!
No paramos con el show científico del CONICET en el fondo del mar argentino.

Ay si, totalmente. Vamos por eso 💪
o no de la solución, pero sí nos puede ayudar a enfrentar estos filtros mejor parados 🫂
Una tristeza...💔 (con estas cosas me sigo convenciendo que hay que colaborar más, es la parte de la solución que tenemos más a mano)
Hacer esquejes es la puerta de entrada a conseguir más y más y todavía más plantas. Tiene sus truquitos, es cierto, pero todos comparten el mismo fundamento: crear células nuevas. Entender esto es clave para cultivar esa dichosa mano para las plantas 🌿
More than 1,000 scientists took to the streets yesterday in Buenos Aires and other cities in Argentina wearing gas masks to protest the collapse of science in the country, which they say was initiated by their government.

El 28, a las 13, científicos del área metropolitana convocan al Polo Científico, Godoy Cruz y Paraguay.
‼️La situación del sistema de ciencia y tecnología es crítica. El gobierno implementó una política de aniquilación de algo que llevó décadas construir 👇(sigue)
