Malin Pinsky @ucsantacruz.bsky.social led a cross realm analysis of biodiversity time series, which finds faster turnover when temperature changes faster. Turnover was higher wothout microclimate refugia & in ecosystems already affected by humans.

Does technology evolve as biology? In many ways, it does. Is it continuous or occurs in bursts? By analyzing the evolution of programming languages with @svalver.bsky.social, we found the answer. Wrok started at @sfiscience.bsky.social.

In the “values and responsibilities of ecologists” workshop at #BES2024 and were asked which values we bring to our ecological practice. Already looking great, with integrity being the top one.
