Give it a try, is quick, is fun, and you learn how challenging is prediction in Ecology!

Desbiologizar lo vegetal Deshumanizar, despojar de su condición humana al enemigo, adversario o simplemente diferente, ha sido a lo largo de la historia un paso previo a la aniquilación física del grupo deshumanizado (Hasl…

¡En el blog de @eco-aeet.bsky.social se publica un nuevo post!

En esta ocasión, @cmhmaliani.bsky.social reflexiona sobre el concepto “desbiologización” o cómo, de forma inconsciente o premeditada, se niega lo biológico en lo viviente no humano.

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

Great news - tropical forests are resilient!

Long-term research in Ecuador's Chocó rainforest shows that nature bounced back quickly after deforested land was abandoned

Diversity and abundance of species reached 90% of original levels within 30 years

Yes, I agree with you, Maria, that the system is the real problem, and pushes for misusing AI (and other tools), but AI is especially easy to misuse.

Another great quote "Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn"

Más de 30 personas (del mundo de la ciencia, la divulgación y el activismo) recorrerán durante una semana (del 13 al 19 de abril) toda España. Dando charlas. Explicando que esto se acabó. Que hay que cambiar. Que es bueno cambiar. Que podemos cambiar.

Empieza el No Normal Tour. ¡Te esperamos!

'The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding'

What a nice post on AI, education, learning, research and academia

Buzz pollinating bee on Solanum dulcamara

Bee documentary poster

The new bee documentary is out today in Disney+. Our buzzing bees did make the cut at the end! It is really nice to see the clip of how bees use previously collected nectar to pack pollen even in nectarless flowers! There are lots of other cool things in this two-part film!

¡Acabamos de publicar el último número! 📢

Three Decades of Butterfly–Plant Interaction Turnover Explained by Climate and Species Loss Long-term biodiversity loss reshapes interaction dynamics inpollination networks. Communities become increasingly dominated bygeneralist species that are more capable of rewiring interactions thanspe...

New study on temporal interaction turnover using a unique dataset 🦋🪷

Communities adapt to climate fluctuations through rewiring. But over the long term, as species are lost, rewiring declines—reducing the capacity of communities to buffer environmental change

I am not sure... looks a bit self-centric...

It could be cool to measure Spain's contribution to large databases (TRY, CropPol, Panthera, Biotime, you name it) proportional to its size, budget for science, etc...

Many journals require data and code sharing. Yet code is still rarely shared and datasets are often hard to reuse.

Our new paper introduces the @sortee.bsky.social guidelines for data & code quality control in ecology & evolution, developed by 26 experienced data editors.
