Please, beat us at predicting population trends. Fun game to test your intuition and see how you compare to trained models!

Uncertainty in aquatic greenhouse gas flux estimates arises from subjective processing of floating chamber time series Accurate quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes from aquatic systems is essential for constraining regional and global carbon budgets. Closed floating chambers are widely used to measure carbo...

Are you collecting high-res chamber incubation time series with portable gas analysers to estimate in situ #GHG fluxes in #aquatic ecosystems?

A Gradient of Wildlife Subsidies Alters Riverine Food Web Structure Terrestrial subsidies play a key role in freshwater food web structure and ecosystem function. Animal-mediated subsidies in particular provide high quality resources that shape aquatic food webs. ...

In Freshwater Biology, Frauendorf et al. show wildlife subsidies restructure the Mara River food web. Fish shifted from 2% to 73.5% reliance on wildlife-derived resources along a hippo/wildebeest gradient. doi.org/10.1111/fwb.70208

Bioreactors on the Move: How Animals Contribute to Microbial Community Coalescence and Shape Ecosystem Function Animals are moving bioreactors, assimilating microbial taxa from the environment, which then undergo selective filtering in their gut. Animals then deposit this new microbial community back into the ....

In Environmental Microbiology, we argue animals are "mobile bioreactors"...ingesting environmental microbes, transforming them in the gut, and depositing novel communities back into the environment. Case studies from hippos, coral reef fish, and earthworms. doi.org/10.1111/1462-2920.70291

Ryan (and me) are hiring a PhD student! Sweden is a great country to do a PhD, see the link or ask us for more details, or share with potential students!

Not very good with oxymorons yet.

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

Extreme environments in a world of new extremes Extreme environments, whether defined by climate, soils, or disturbance, at landscape or micro-scales, are prevalent across Earth's surface and have long served as crucibles for ecological and evolut...

Nearly 50% of Earth's land cover and upwards of 70% of Biodiversity Hotspots are extreme environments. Yet many ecological theories fail in these habitats. Here, we explain why and showcase what extreme environments can tell us in a world of new extremes. #Fulbright

¿Sabías que el género Iberus ha sido un rompecabezas evolutivo endémico de la Península Ibérica? En este nuevo post publicado en @eco-aeet.bsky.social se explica su historia taxonómica y los recientes hallazgos genéticos que están ayudando a reescribir su filogenia.

The peer review system is breaking down. Here’s how we can fix it Peer review is so integral to the scholarly system that research would grind to a halt without it.

#PeerReview is indeed breaking down, but I believe we should build it back up instead of scrapping it entirely.

It's how we ensure trust in science.

What would make you more likely to review your colleagues' new research?
