Ecosystem stability is about local diversity! 🌏🌱

Really happy to see our new paper out in @natcomms.nature.com.

Thanks to @huangmj.bsky.social for beautifully leading this project and to coauthors @danimontoya.bsky.social, Yao Xiao, Xiang Liu & Yann Hautier for this great collective effort.

Durante 5 años, 600 voluntarios han analizado la contaminación plástica en 22 playas y 30 ríos de toda España.

600.000 litros de agua filtrados. 700 muestras.

¿El resultado? Han encontrado microplásticos en el 100% de los entornos acuáticos.

Muy útil para evitar alarmismos innecesarios

📢❗🚨Reminder: POSTDOC in THEORETICAL ECOLOGY. Great opportunity to develop theoretical models on the ecology of food systems, exploring key aspects such as biodiversity, spatial heterogeneity, pollination, and stability. Close collaboration with researchers from multiple disciplines & countries

Todo mi apoyo a la universidad pública de Madrid. La educación pública no es un gasto, sino una inversión social. Es un derecho que no debe privatizarse, sino ampliarse, y no debe depender de la cuenta corriente.

We have been sampling on the Arga River as part of the Recharge project, which studies the benefits that nature-based solutions bring to ecosystems. #Recharge

The end of the field season deserves a good celebration. We missed Javi and Natalie #BestTeam

Plastic bag bans and fees reduce harmful bag litter on shorelines Plastic pollution threatens marine and freshwater ecosystems and the services they provide. Although plastic bag bans and taxes are increasingly implemented worldwide, their effectiveness in reducing ...

Los impuestos y prohibiciones a bolsas de plástico reducen su presencia en la basura costera hasta un 47 %.

Los impuestos son especialmente eficaces.

Expandir estas políticas puede mitigar la contaminación y proteger la fauna.

Get simulating! #Biodiversity / #foodweb dynamics with #julialang. Classic bioenergetic model, consolidation of lots of add-ons & super fast.

Very happy to share this, a result of amazing collaborators and a rich history of model development.

It is quite common nowadays for big environmental research programs & projects to focus on using existing data

And for projects to be downgraded if they plan to go through the laborious process of collecting new data

Despite the fact that we often don’t have the right data for important questions

Congrats!!

Hi. I missed your poster at the BES (there were many!) but the study looks really interesting!

Hi there!

Thanks Phil. See you in Liverpool!

Hi there!

Looking forward to
#BES2024
. Good science and I hope to have lots of interactions and discussion. See you there! If interested in the effects of microplastics on marine ecosystems, come to my talk
