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 🤩

indeed! and now we reinforce the need to put the "macroeco" to that ;)
In this new preprint, we call for the formal integration between #Macroecoloy & #Ecotoxicology by providing an operational framework & guidelines to achieve it. Take a look and spread the word!

Excelente! Very well deserved. Congrats, Gustavo!
Post Doc position alert! Come work with us on the evolution of cannibalism. Full job description in link below. Salary starts at $58k plus benefits. (Please help spread the word)

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! 🦋

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.

great reference ;)
This is why @biogeographyjfab.bsky.social and other diamond OA journals are so important. Send us your awesome biogeography papers and do the field a solid!

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
Thanks for making it available!
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 !
With @xaviermorin.bsky.social we showed that species richness is a key factor for the stability of forest biomass production 🌲

One of the reasons to keep pushing for a significant change of the publishing landscape. Among several initiatives, take a look at @peeer.bsky.social:
peeer.net
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.
Out now!

We developed a framework & app to guide authorship teams in making equitable and thoughtful authorship decisions.

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
First ECR Feature of 2026! PhD student at New Mexico State University, Rohit Subhedar, talks about his recent work on the often overlooked tree-tree interactions in shaping savannas, by assessing tree spatial distributions in a south Indian savanna. Read more about his work in our Q+A here:
The last paper of my PhD is out! Together with @duarteldas.bsky.social and Gabriel Nakamura, we investigated how in situ diversification and lineage dispersal have shaped assemblage level diversity in the Atlantic Forest.

Of course!!
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
For those interested in exploring Site-Based Estimation of Ancestral Range of Species (SBEARS), this material can be very helpful.

New paper out today, 'Global North-South science inequalities due to language and funding barriers'
We highlight how language and funding barriers can compound inequity and offer practical recommendations to bridge these gaps.

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.
