Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade Troodontidae is a clade of small-to medium-sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believ...

This project was lead by Yui Chi (Audrey) Fan, and this is her very first publication! I'm very excited to see what's next from her 😁

Figure 1 from the new paper, plotting the distribution of tooth serration across the troodontid family tree.

New paper out today in #BiologicalReviews! #Troodontids have famously weird teeth that suggest a wide variety of #paleodiets in the group. In our review, we suggest new studies to explore this hypothesis and that the ancestors of #birds, #raptors, and troodontids were omnivorous! (1/2)

New review out in Biological Reviews! 🌲
We synthesize over a century of research on the complex ecological web linking tree-killing bark beetles, their symbiotic fungi, and host trees.

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far-reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of ....

So excited to share our massive review on #alienspecies, now published! It was an honor to collaborate with a team of 65 authors on this project. We show how #biologicalinvasions are accelerating globally and what we still need to learn to halt them. 👾

Ecosystem services provided by spiders Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ec...

Did you know, that spiders offer inspiration for technologies, medicines, bioinsecticides or solutions for sustainable agriculture? They help regulate pests, support nutrient cycling and improve mental health. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Positive species interactions structure rhodolith bed communities at a global scale Rhodolith beds are diverse and globally distributed habitats. Nonetheless, the role of rhodoliths in structuring the associated species community through a hierarchy of positive interactions is yet t....

New paper! We show how the fundamental characteristics of rhodoliths (free-living calcified seaweeds) allow associated habitat-formers to thrive, creating a multi-level "facilitation cascade"
