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 ...

Fish will have to adapt to a warming world, what will that adaptation do to fisheries yields? We answer that question today in Science. I’ll summarise our findings very briefly in this thread

There is No Consensus on Biological Sex At this critical moment when misinformation about sex is being applied to policy globally, scientific clarification on the definition of biological sex is valuable. Here, we evaluate the primary appr...

New paper out in ecology letters! with @andylee.bsky.social @allydefduf.bsky.social

We synthesized the active debate on how scientists define sex, including limitations and assumptions. We believe this discussion will lead to more accurate science.

Kansas revokes driver's licenses of hundreds of trans people, prompted by new law Prompted by a new law, Kansas began sending letters to some trans people saying their drivers licenses were being invalidated until they change their gender information.

🚨hey so this is absolutely HORRIBLE for so many reasons I can’t even fully list out. But a few:

- licenses are immediately invalid, making it difficult to even get around to change license or god forbid APPEAL THIS DECISION

Please #rstats community I need your help and guidance. I am teaching a GIS and spatial data class for ecologists. They are Sophomores. Beginner level 0. I have tried to live code my labs but they are unable to follow my code and they make all kinds of errors because they are missing commas etc.

Screening, sorting, and the feedback cycles that imperil peer review The process of peer review is vital to contemporary science, but is also under enormous strain. This study uses mathematical models to dissect the threats to the long-term viability of peer review, su...

We used economic models based around screening games and the market for unpaid labor to highlight a meltdown cycle threatening peer review.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

What’s driving the decline?

The crisis isn’t just fishing — it’s invisible fishing.

Much shark & ray catch is under-reported, aggregated, or mislabeled, masking real mortality & delaying management.

What we don’t measure, we don’t manage.

A plea from an editor:

postdocs & grad students who want to review manuscripts, please (!) have an online presence with your current email. I try to solicit reviews from ECRs, but we all move a lot, and it's hard to know if we'll be able to reach you at the email address on your last paper 🧪🌍

Everywhere I look I see women leaving academia for one reason or another, and many of these reasons are less relevant to male counterparts. Obstacles like longer review times are certainly not helping, especially in a career where success and progress are measured in publications!

Did you know that you can edit a #ggplot2 chart after it's been created without having to rewrite the original #RStats code?

Let's say we've made a scatter plot with this code...
