We even made the cover & title: "Humans, micro-organisms, fauna, flora... 2100, the Earth, the great biodiversity redistribution has started"

This is the April issue of S&V, available in 🇨🇵 bookstores 🤩

Species range shifts often speed ahead of their modeled climatic niches | PNAS Anticipating how species distributions will shift with climate change is key for biodiversity conservation and management. Commonly, species’ range...

After 4yr of hard work to compare empirical species range positions' shifts from the #BioShifts DB against predictions from niche-based models trained on climate & tailored to methodological attributes of each species & study, we found species shift ahead of models' predictions! 🦋

Genetic Diversity Impacts Climate‐Induced Species Range Shifts Genetic diversity may buffer species against climate-driven range contractions and facilitate expansions, but its role at a global scale remains unclear. Using 4673 range shift estimates for 1888 spe....

Does genetic diversity help species keep up with, or tolerate, climate change? 🌡️🌍

Our new BioShifts paper shows that high genetic diversity 🧬:
1) Reduces range contractions under fast warming
2) Accelerates range expansion under moderate warming

Genetic diversity shapes climate-driven species redistribution:

🚨Genetic diversity slows species range shifts, especially at the trailing edge and under rapid climate change—consistent with the evolutionary rescue hypothesis.

Phylogenetic Comparative Methods Phylogenetic Comparative Methods

Hi all. I am very excited that after 6 years I finally got my phylogenetic comparative methods book and online exercises online. Feel free to use and share. The book is here: nhcooper123.github.io/pcm-primer/. Note that it is not finished, we had to abandon it before the sunk costs fallacy broke us

Delighted to see this volume out and open access with lots of interesting chapters related to the human right to science. My chapter explores the notion of ‘epistemic jurisdictions’ as a way of better understanding the interlacing of local knowledge and scientific knowledge under this human right.

Happy to see this work finally out in @globalchangebio.bsky.social !

97% of the papers archived the data but only 35% archived the code.

Most people are writing code but not sharing it. Time to bring up this again: scispace.com/pdf/publish-... (and if the code isn't good enough yet, maybe it's too early to publish the paper)

The Academic Wheel of Privilege showing the 24 socio-cultural identities. The 24 socio-cultural identity types span six sectors: health and wellbeing, society, culture and communication, gender and sexuality, education and career, living arrangements and lastly childhood and development. These identity types are shown as circles connected to three concentric rings (outer, middle and inner) of “identity” circles with increasing privilege as you go towards the centre.

Degradation of fish food webs in the Anthropocene The decrease in body size driven by the selective species turnover is widely altering fish food web topology and function.

New paper out examining fish food web degradation in the Anthropocene. We show the structure of aquatic food webs are changing-- even when species richness doesn’t. These signals are strongly associated with decreases in body size within fish communities. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🌐🐠🐡🦈🐟

As authors, reviewers and editors, we can actively shape the publishing ecosystem, where different journal models entail different choices. Ideally, ethics—despite occasional compromises—should become and remain the primary driver of our decisions. Check: peeer.net/2026/02/20/d... #BetterPublishing

Are we thoroughly thinking/discussing about Open Access models? We invite you to think about OA not only as a chance to read science freely, but as an opportunity to make science more equitable, inclusive, with more voices from different places

OpenAccess science sounds great! But what if authors have to pay (Gold OA)? Well, clear biases appear: less participation from low and middle-income countries.
