Diet breadth and microhabitat mediate predator community resilience to agricultural intensification and extreme weather Land-use intensification and climate change have strong filtering effects on arthropod communities. Intensification increases landscape homogeneity an…

Really excited to share this paper on the intersecting stressors of land use and weather extremes on predators. Omnivores have wiggle room! Thanks @sashavasconcelos.bsky.social + the rest fo the team for helping me push this one over the finish line. 🪲🦂🐞🌱🚜🧪👩‍🔬🌐🌍 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"É uma tragédia" que "caiu que nem uma bomba". Cientistas chocados com extinção da FCT sem aviso prévio Decisão anunciada esta tarde pelo Governo apanhou de surpresa a comunidade cientifica, que questiona o futuro da ciência em Portugal

The 🇵🇹 government just imploded science in Portugal by extinguishing several scientific entities including the FCT (Foundation for science and technology, the main funder in PT). Imagine DFG was extinguished in Germany, the CNRS in France, or the NIH in the USA 🧪

If you hate statistics like I do, then you'll love my free lectures. Putting science before statistics, 20 lectures from basics of inference & causal modeling to multilevel models & dynamic state space models. It's all free, made with love and sympathy. 🧪 #stats www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Functional traits mediate ant community assembly in a West African savannah-forest mosaic (Côte d'Ivoire) African forest-savannah mosaics are complex landscapes holding mixtures of woody grasslands (savannah) and different forest systems (gallery forests a…

I'm a bit late to the blsky party but I thought I would also share it here - our newest paper on ant diversity in a West African forest-savannah mosaic! 🐜
