Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).

How do your #linguistic, #economic & #gender backgrounds impact your #scientific productivity? @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social & co reveal that being a woman, a non-native English speaker, and from a low-income country is associated with a 70% reduction in productivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n3RLRQ

I think we've figured out the right solution at the Evolution Meetings: Bang for your buck, a virtual meeting two weeks before the in-person is the most cost-effective way to involve remote participants.

A couple thoughts 🧵

Salty suitors: High larval sodium intake reduces adult lifespan and influences reproductive behaviour in a lepidopteran herbivore - Journal Highlight - Royal Entomological Society First published: 19 July 2025. Sodium is a crucial element for animal physiology, yet its effects on behavior and lifespan remain understudied, especially in insect herbivores. The amount of sodium a ...

Hey All!!! Take a look at this awesome highlight on our recent paper on sodium and its influence on butterfly behavior published in @royentsoc.bsky.social Ecological Entomology!

A new time tree of birds reveals the interplay between dispersal, geographic range size, and diversification Flight may affect the dispersal and evolution of birds. Using a new evolutionary tree, Claramunt et al. find that efficient fliers have broader geographic ranges, and speciation reduces range size, bu...

Happy to share our latest paper in which we use a new big phylogeny of birds to analyze the relationships between dispersal, geographic range size and diversification rates across all birds. See also post by

📣 The Mendes Lab is recruiting PhD students in statistical phylogenetics! Interested, or know someone who might be? Details here 👉 tinyurl.com/542wyfb9 — please share!

And excellent poacher talk by @danielgeldof.bsky.social and poster presentation by @ichthyangela.bsky.social (send her bagrids please) both from my lab. They presented today at #jmih25

Dr. Laura Lagomarsino smiling at the camera while conducting fieldwork in a tropical environment. She wears a colorful striped knit hat with red trim and a light-colored field jacket with yellow straps. Behind her is a distinctive tropical plant with large, paddle-shaped leaves arranged in a rosette pattern, characteristic of high-altitude Andean vegetation.

Meet Dr. Laura Lagomarsino, who fell in love with plants during childhood camping trips in California's redwood forests. Her passion for plant-pollinator relationships began with a magical moment watching hummingbirds visit curved flowers in Costa Rica's cloud forests.

So proud of my students @sheifishy.bsky.social and @thegarfather.bsky.social for their excellent #jmih25 talks today. They are awesome and I’m lucky to be their advisor.

One more day to submit a lightning talk for the Germinating Ideas session at 1:30 on Weds at #Botany2025! Titles (no abstract) due by the end of the calendar day on July 11.

What would be a correct term for genome skimming in Spanish?

Siento que “desnatado genómico” does not capture the essence.

¿Barrido genómico?
