Quantifying the Spatial Footprint of Agriculture‐Driven Edge Effects in a Global Deforestation Hotspot Tropical dry forests face increasing pressure from agricultural expansion, but how this expansion impacts on remaining forests is unclear. We quantified and mapped agricultural edge effects on tree c...

This is my go-to paper to point out that significant long-distance trade in wildlife is an ancient phenomenon- here macaws were traded from AD 700 from Meso into North America. Advocates of reintroductions of charismatic species based on sparse remains often conveniently overlook the role of trade.

Gosh, who knows where people is at. I miss the old times when everyone was at a single spot sharing scientsy and nerdy inquiries. Now a lot left, and the remaining are split among dozens of social networks.

‘I rarely get outside’: scientists ditch fieldwork in the age of AI In the race to embrace new technologies, some ecologists fear their field is losing touch with nature.

New technologies are revolutionising ecology, with more data than ever available at our fingertips. But what are the costs and perils of ecologists doing less field work?

Uff. Abrazo Leo!

Things I love about bluesky:
1) Limited advertisement, I mostly see content I care about. 2) Friendly environment.

Things that still need a lot of improvement:
1) A larger Spanish-speaking community 2) The feeling I am reaching a small, mostly science focused bubble.

I’m recruiting a PhD and MSC student for fall 2026 working on the movement ecology and conservation of Mexican spotted owls in SW forests and rocky canyonlands. Exciting partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory. Great vibrant lab group, high impact research! 🦉

I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising.

No, we actually believe orientation of the outcrop is important, and yes, the unmarked group may be a good spot to look for advice. Thanks!

aspect! Basically we are looking at rock outcrop exposure

Looking for advice, blueskyers: Have you ever used a circular covariate in an occupancy model? What worked best for you?

We’ve lost a giant. He was always very kind and encouraging to me as a young #kelp forest ecologist. Go listen to @futureecologies.bsky.social’s kelp series for a wonderful episode where he tells the stories behind his classic work. www.futureecologies.net/kelpworlds

May his memory be a blessing.

Excited to say that we just submitted a Second Edition of Spatial Ecology and Conservation Modeling to the publisher!

Updates on concepts, models, applications, and code. Plus, two new chapters are included!

Marie-Josee and I hope it is helpful to the ecological and conservation community!

Es muy difícil organizar Ciencia de la A a la Z. Somos poca gente haciendo todo a pulmón. Por eso, les pedimos ayuda para que sea un éxito.

Necesitamos que todo el mundo se entere. Difusión en grupos, en redes, contactos con medios... Todo suma.

Voltinism Shifts in Response to Climate Warming Generally Benefit Populations of Multivoltine Butterflies Insects may respond to climate warming by advancing phenology and increasing the number of generations each year (voltinism). However, one concern is that earlier phenology changes cue-response relat...

Counting chicks before they hatch: extending the observed lifetime to better characterize evolutionary processes in the wild Abstract. Evolutionary theorists have emphasized for over half a century that population sampling must be conducted at the intergenerational boundary if th

Lifetime reproductive success (LRS) is a key metric in evolutionary biology and ecology. But what counts as a success? And whose successes do we count? @sevans.bsky.social doesn't shy away from the big questions in this new paper just out in @journal-evo.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/evolut/artic...
