Cifra clave de la Evaluación de Biodiversidad Empresarial de la IPBES indica "60 % DE TIERRAS INDÍGENAS A NIVEL MUNDIAL" con "CIFRA CLAVE" arriba y "AMENAZADAS POR EL DESARROLLO INDUSTRIAL" abajo. El logotipo de la IPBES aparece en la esquina superior izquierda con el lema "Ciencia y Políticas para las Personas y la Naturaleza".
La nueva Evaluación #BizBiodiversity de la IPBES refleja la cruda realidad de los efectos del desarrollo industrial en los territorios indígenas. 🌍
1/4 de los territorios indígenas se encuentran bajo una fuerte presión debido a la explotación de recursos. 🧪

I’m happy to share that the third chapter of my doctoral dissertation has been published in Global Ecology and Biogeography: Diversification and Evolutionary Dynamics in Tropical Montane Regions
Huge thanks to my co-authors for their support!

We know that marine fishes 🐠 have an inverse gradient of speciation compared to that of spp richness, with higher speciation at higher latitudes. But, what about freshwater 🐟?
Find out in the new PhD paper by Juliana Herrera-Pérez and friends (not just colleagues) 🤿 👇

Big Oil has a long history of interference in Latin America.
Documents reveal that "Exxon funded rightwing thinktanks to spread climate change denial," invest in "market-oriented public policies" and ensure "continued strong returns to Exxon’s investors.” 😑
The future of the Amazon may rely on its past. According to study, landscape interventions by the forest’s pre-Columbian Indigenous inhabitants might still affect its ecological functions, including its capacity to store biomass, absorb carbon, and withstand climate change

En teoría, si la mayoría de tus cercanos migraron para acá, se debería mantener eso, no? Casi toda la banda académica que seguía y me seguía se movió acá
Yo por el contrario no, pero creo que es porque ya me saturé de la interacción social virtual
Earth's largest land animals are limited by salt.
Sodium availability constrains the density and distribution of elephants, giraffes and rhinos across Africa, and offers a new explanation for the so-called 'missing megaherbivores'.

I'm happy to share that, together with @juvelas.bsky.social and Daniel Vásquez-Restrepo to examine how Andean uplift influenced the evolution of South American squamates as part of the book Andean Herpetofauna: Explorations of Diversity, Ecology and Conservation by @springernature.com (1/3)
We are glad to share our recent article pulbished in @pnas.org, where we we demonstrate that plant species that occupy larger geographic ranges tend to have broader climatic niches and are more likely to achieve high local abundances.
Very happy to finally see this out in @pnas.org. Great work (masterfully) led by my dear friend @gabrielmoulatlet.bsky.social on a classic question on range sizes, climatic niches and dominance for plants at the global scale!
Thanks for the collab, Gabriel!
Hot off the press! From the PhD thesis of @lopezreyeska.bsky.social where we explored the connection between biogeographic processes and climatic niche dynamics in spiny lizards 👇
¿Qué factores determinan la biodiversidad urbana en México? Este viernes en Datos Vivos 2025 hablaré un poco de eso con algunas actualizaciones de los datos que usamos y los factores de riesgo conjunto www.livingdata2025.com/program.html...
We are honored to be collaborating with @stanfordpress.bsky.social + @pkp.sfu.ca on this project! #BetterPublishing.
The new journals are:
Biogeography (BIOG) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles ranging from biological work that is geographically situated to geographical work that is biologically relevant. biog.journals.sup.org/index.php/biog
@peeer.bsky.social We are delighted to announce @sse-evolution.bsky.social has joined 9 other scientific societies in endorsing a Joint Statement on Scientific Publishing peeer.net/societies/ We look forward to developing more affordable, accessible, equitable publishing together #BetterPublishing
Le diré a mis compas que entren a probar los tacos de ullucos.

Why are some species widespread while others are found only in small, isolated areas? A study in Nature Communications shows that species with narrow ranges, and thus higher extinction risk, are often island-restricted, poor dispersers, and have evolved relatively recently. #evosky 🧪
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.

Muchas gracias, voy a revisarlos.
