IMAGE SHOWS GRAPHIC OF CORNELL LAB OF ORNITHOLOGY PHYLOGENY EXPLORER TOOL.

MAJOR NEWS! We just launched an awesome new tool! The illustrated Birds of the World Phylogeny Explorer lets users trace any bird’s lineage, compare species relationships, and explore major evolutionary milestones with a click of a button. SHARE and EXPLORE! birdsoftheworld.org/bow/news/phy...

Yes and no. We focus on MDPI-Frontiers because if you drew a random SI you'd have a 70%+ chance of it being from them.
But we also highlight that across all SIs at BMC, Springer, Roy Soc there's *similar* amounts of PISS.
Delegating trust to guest editors has costs & should be done responsibly.

One of the "exciting" things about GPU development is all the funny quirks that hardware vendors come up with that keep life interesting. Wrt. OpenCL support AMD is the most compliant and predictable; NVIDIA is mostly OK but a bit odd sometimes; Intel lacks useful things for science like FP64.

Swiss Breeding Bird Monitoring dataset is now openly accessible! The team from @vogelwarte.bsky.social made the long-term dataset of the Swiss CBM program (“Monitoring Häufige Brutvögel”, MHB) freely available under CC-BY 4.0 licence. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

It's a dumpster fire of poor UX for editors and reviewers.
I don't know why any publishers are still using this system. They did try to implement ORCiD login but it only worked for the first journal's account you used it on.

The banality of evil.

A promotional graphic for an online event titled “Meet the Editor – BiO.” The background is light blue with white accents. At the top, bold text reads “Meet the Editor – BiO.” Below, smaller text states “Tuesday 9 December.” The design includes a circular photo placeholder on the left and a logo on the right.

The licence you put on your work needs to sustain your ability to continue it. Otherwise it's self-defeating and you'll be taken advantage of.

Toward better 2D - 3D registration in BigWarp BigWarp has so far focused on 2D-2D or 3D-3D registration, and not on 2D-3D registration. After a conversation with @Christian_Tischer , we thought some simple UI changes could make the support for 2...

When you think of bats, you probably don’t think of pollination - but bats are crucial pollinators, and the key to creating a certain drink! 🍸

See an (adorable) bat covered in pollen and learn why a world without bats would be a world without tequila in this week’s Surprising Science. 🦇

55 years missing: An international team led by the museum rediscovered the Turkestan long-eared bat in the Karakum Desert. Endemic species like 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘬𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘴 reveal how life adapts – and why protecting unique habitats matters. 🌏
