Cross-ecosystem linkages between freshwater insects and riparian birds across the USA - Nature Ecology & Evolution Aquatic insects such as mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies are widely used for freshwater biomonitoring and could provide resource pulses to terrestrial insectivores. Here the authors show a positiv...

Continental-scale evidence that emergent aquatic insects sustain riparian birds, thus freshwater conservation offers considerable co-benefits to terrestrial ecosystems! A fun collaboration w/ postdoc @cschuerings.bsky.social

LTERがアーカイブされただと。。。？それは流石にヤバいぞ。。。。

NSF LTER program “archived”.

LTER=“Long Term Ecological Research”.

This program has been incredibly successful, incredibly frugal for what they accomplish, and…of course…targeted by evil know-nothings.

My heart is breaking.

This heartbreaking footage of Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk preparing for tournaments amid air raid sirens and missile attacks is a stark reminder that russians shouldn't be allowed to participate in international sporting events until they stop their genocidal war and are brought to justice

Intestinal interoceptive dysfunction drives age-associated cognitive decline - Nature Age-related microbiome changes increase medium-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, driving GPR84-mediated myeloid inflammation, impaired vagal signalling and hippocampal dysfunction; targeting this g...

A microbiome gut-brain pathway influenced by intestinal metabolites, innate immune responses, vagal nerve signaling and hippocampal memory encoding, impacts the rate of cognitive decline. Many potential points of intervention are described.

Evolutionary adaptation to global change reduces sustainable fisheries yields Global warming is altering the fisheries that underpin food security, but projections of these impacts generally exclude evolutionary processes. We describe a model that forecasts how fish will adapt ...

Out today in @science.org our paper on how evolutionary adaptation to warming will reduce fisheries yields. Please let me know if you need me to send you a copy. Summary of the paper coming soon. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Body Size and Local Density Explain Movement Patterns in Stream Fishes We evaluated whether body size (intrinsic) and intra- and interspecific densities (extrinsic) have an impact on the movement rates of four fish species in a small stream. We found that larger individ....

I painted this in 2020 following a tutorial. It seemed so silly to paint a puddle but by the time I was done, the puddle became one of my favorite pictures.  Nice how something so mundane can be beautiful.

Graphical abstract: We present the Global Fish Invasions Database (GFID), the first standardized, comprehensive global dataset of 1536 established non-native fish species across 193 countries. GFID includes detailed metadata on introduction pathways, habitat types, native biogeographic realms, and documented ecological, economic, and social impacts. This open-access resource provides a critical foundation for advancing invasion science, informing conservation strategies, and guiding evidence-based biosecurity policy worldwide.

Delighted to announce our new paper in Science. @chrisklausmeier.bsky.social, @elenalitchman.bsky.social, and I show how power-law scaling at the micro (individual) level is translated by eco-evolutionary dynamics into power-law scaling at the macro (food-web) level. 1/5

Groundwater and Remotely Sensed Phenology Reveal Vulnerability of Riparian Trees to Drought We asked how vulnerable riparian trees are to droughts, examining their water use and growing season timing and duration via groundwater data and satellite imagery. Drought shortened the growing seas...

How vulnerable are riparian trees to drought? Using groundwater and satellite data from a California waterhsed, our new paper found that trees by drying rivers lost up to 5 weeks of growing season, suggesting they’re nearing critical groundwater limits.

glmmTMBだとREML = FALSEがデフォになっててありがたいですね。

予測にどの変数を使うべきか、という結論に影響する、という意味ですかね。予測と因果推論の混同はもうどうしようもないほど広まってますね、生態学では。Remlだと尤度比検定も出来ないので怖いですね
