1/8 🐺📢 Our study in Behavioral Ecology is out now! We explore the drivers of daily movements of wolves in human-dominated landscapes and found out that they shorten considerably their movements 🔗 Paper: sl1nk.com/xkue00q 🧵👇 (📸 Francisco J. Lema Fuentes).

Very interesting thread on #eulachon below!
Where do #eulachon actually go when they hit the ocean? 🐟 🌊, We used #eDNA to track their marine phase. Check it out. www.nature.com/articles/s42...
Two eulachon burning because of their high oil content
Eulachon have such a high oil content (15-20% of their entire body weight!) that they burn can like a candle when dried - hence the name “candlefish." Their valuable rendered oil was also historically traded among tribes along the Pacific coast on routes known as grease trails #25DaysofFishmas
#BellaCoola sees biggest #eulachon run in almost 20 years - www.coastmountainnews.com/news/bella-coola-sees-bi...
Out now and led by the impeccable GJ Jeunen: a new way to squeeze #eDNA sequences from preserved natural samplers!
NO need to damage the old specimens: just take out the DNA leached into the ethanol!
Also: we have a new entry into the #nsDNA world: #bryozoa!

Magnesio, melatonina, ashwaghanda, maca… todos los suplementos de moda son un timo sin evidencia científica que los sustente. No caigas en la trampa. elpais.com/salud-y-bien...
This has to be cause someone told him it’s called gut flora.
Free science (a giant book I coauthored & edited-my name appears way too many times for what I did). I worked w/ 108 coauthors over many years to produce this third-iteration of the Amphibian Conservation Action Plan. Have it for free. Enjoy!🐸Download it here: portals.iucn.org/library/node... Enjoy!

More than 30 researchers question the scientific, ethical, and legal validity of a method that involves the use of live decoys #birds to conduct censuses.
This method would be helping to give the return of 'silvestrismo' a scientific appearance. #ornithology

🚨 PhD opportunity in evolutionary genomics
Interested in working with ancient DNA and genomics of carnivores to study adaptation to human-dominated landscapes?
I’m looking for a candidate to apply for an FCT PhD fellowship (Portugal).
📅 Deadline: 31 March
Feel free to contact me for details! 🐺🐻🦊🧬
A new era for #ONT amplicon sequencing?
We show that #ONT #amplicon sequencing now achieves accuracy sufficient for #ASV resolution using standard Illumina-based pipelines. We validated this by sequencing identical amplicons on #ONT and #PacBio. @nanoporetech.com www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
NEW STUDY: Winter downpours are getting heavier in parts of Spain, Portugal and Morocco as the region recovers from a month of relentless storms.
Between mid-January and mid-February nine named storms brought torrential rain hurricane force winds causing major damage and disruption. 1/5

"Matar 100 lobos, como ya ha sucedido en los montes asturianos y cántabros, es una muestra de populismo rural que desprecia el conocimiento científico y la ética. " por @ernestodmartin.bsky.social @fondolobo.bsky.social

Giving rivers room to move, can benefit people and nature.
As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme floods, rethinking our approach to managing floodplain rivers has never been more urgent.
floodplain river systems are among the most valuable ecosystems.

Estos días vas a oír a gente diciendo que no hay evidencia científica para proteger a la anguila
@sibic.bsky.social ha enviado a todas las CCAA esa evidencia
Te la resumo en un hilo
1- Lista Roja Española
2- Lista Roja Global
3- Informe ICES 2025
4- Dictamen CC
@miteco.gob.es @ebdonana.bsky.social
🔵 La supervivencia de la angula no tiene precio.
El próximo día 17, en el comité de flora y Fauna, propondremos a las CCAA declarar la anguila en peligro de extinción.
Gracias a los científicos, asociaciones ecologistas y cocineros de Euro-Toques por su apoyo.
