I’m like an octopus: I work with lots of data at once, have tentacles in different projects, and adapt quickly. 🐙

What animal best represents your way of working with data, and why?
Are you fast or slow when working with data?
Meticulous or a bit chaotic when cleaning?
Do you work solo or as part of a team?
Do you spot patterns like a hawk or dig deep like a mole?

I’ll go first 👇

El Telediario de La 1 de TVE (@rtvenoticias.rtve.es) se hace eco de la #Termometrada2025, actividad de ciencia ciudadana que impulsamos varias organizaciones.

Hoy estamos midiendo la diferencia entre estar en un “Paraíso”, un “Intermedio” o un “Infierno”.

¿Dónde prefieres vivir?

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

A paper in Nature suggests a quarter of heatwave events from 2000-23 would have been near impossible without anthropogenic climate change. The paper also indicates that major carbon emitters are responsible for around 50% of the increase in intensity of these events. ⚒️ 🧪

Where bees won't go: The unloved pollinators of the underworld New research is showing just how much plants and crops rely on a host of darkness-dwelling creepy crawlies.

🐞🦋🪰 Interesting BBC article exploring the diversity of insect pollinators beyond bees.

Proud to see our research on moths cited among these less well-known pollinators! 🌙

3️⃣ Herbarium & citizen science data show flowering time shifts
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Historical records and citizen observations reveal a clear trend: blue lupin is flowering earlier than it did decades ago. A strong signal of climate-driven phenological change.

2️⃣ Ecogeographic characterization reveals phenotypic variability.
By mapping environmental gradients and land characteristics, we uncovered significant phenotypic diversity in L. angustifolius. This variability is key for identifying resilient genotypes.

1️⃣ Artificial selection & assisted gene flow in situ.

We tested whether flowering onset can be advanced through targeted selection and gene flow in natural populations. Results show promising potential for adaptive management under climate stress.

New bioRxiv preprints from #DACWIRE project!
Three new studies explore how Lupinus angustifolius (blue lupin), a crop wild relative, is adapting to drought and changing climates. Here's a quick overview 👇

👩‍🔬Invitada: Andrea Sánchez Meseguer, Científica Titular del Real Jardín Botánico del @csic.es .
👩‍🏫 Dará una interesantísima charla: “El legado paleoclimático sobre patrones globales de diversidad. Una perspectiva a lo largo de 65 millones de años de evolución biológica”
