(Will be doing a movie watch event together, naturally)
It's 3/19 in Belgium already, so @marinespecies.bsky.social has dropped the Top Ten marine species of 2025!

Valuable and necessary content. 🌊
Thrilled to share our new paper out in @science.org, led by François Leroy and Petr Keil! Using the Breeding Bird Survey, we document not only a continent-wide decline in bird abundance since the 1980s — but, crucially, the acceleration of these declines over time. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The first two articles of Volume 5 of the Bulletin of the Society of Systematic Biologists are now published at ssbbulletin.org.
