onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... New publication where we aim to identify areas with greater favourability for bat occurrence in the Serra da Mantiqueira, southeastern Brazil, analyse gaps in bat distribution and evaluate the level of protection of areas with the greatest bat diversity.

¡Nuevo monográfico publicado! 📑

Acabamos de lanzar nuestro volumen 34(2) que incluye el monográfico "Ecología del ectoparasitismo: muestreo, distribución e implicaciones eco-evolutivas de los ectoparásitos". En este hilo te contamos qué artículos se incluyen y de qué tratan.

New paper published! 📝

Vázquez-Santos et al. review the key role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi as tools to address environmental challenges. They provide diverse functions to both soil and plants, and even are involved in climate change mitigation.

(A) Ecorregiones de Europa occidental, obtenidas del conjunto de datos RESOLVE Ecoregions (Ecoregions2017 ©Resolve; https://ecoregions.appspot.com/). El rectángulo negro incluye la ecorregión del estudio (en verde) y parte de otras ecorregiones. (B) Ecorregión del estudio. Los colores más oscuros representan mayores altitudes (≤2626 m). Los puntos rojos indican presencias registradas de especies invasoras (descargadas de diferentes bases de datos; ver el texto principal). Las imágenes de flores dentro de cada tipo de hábitat representan especies invasoras comunes (izquierda) y nativas (derecha) que ocurren en dichos hábitats. Los colores rojo y azul representan la fenología de la floración de las especies invasoras y nativas, respectivamente.

¿Sabías que las plantas #invasoras florecen más tarde y por más tiempo que las nativas? Un estudio con datos de @gbif.org e @inaturalist.bsky.social - @natusferaes.bsky.social así lo ha observado para el norte de la Península Ibérica:

New Records and Invasion Risk of the Non‐Native Piranha Serrasalmus maculatus (Characiformes, Serrasalmidae) in the Merin Lagoon Basin Serrasalmus maculatus (Characiformes, Serrasalmidae) is a piranha native to the Río de la Plata and Amazon basins. Recently, it was recorded in the Patos Lagoon basin. Patos and Merin lagoons are con....

New study finds where birds are declining most. High trend resolution data reveals complexity of bird population changes. “This is the first time we’ve had fine-scale information on population changes across such broad spatial extents and across entire ranges of species,” said Dr. Amanda Rodewald.

Desproteger al lobo no beneficia a nadie Este 23 de abril se debate en el parlamento una proposición de ley que pretende rebajar el régimen de protección de las poblaciones de lobo al norte del Duero, incluyendo su gestión a través de la caza.

Our paper is online now in early view! Sara Gomez, Luca Börger & I led a fantastic team of researchers in this review:
Understanding and predicting animal movements and distributions in the Anthropocene

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Really excited to see this work, led by Mike Grundler, published! It's a new method for inferring the geographic locations of shared genetic ancestors. In the paper, we and use it to infer the geographic history of human genetic ancestry

Impresionante discurso Carlos, no sé si estamos en los albores de un nuevo paradigma pero no podemos seguir como si nada.

En los últimos 50 años, un mero abrir y cerrar de ojos, el colapso de la ictiofauna continental ibérica ha sido apocalíptico
Antes de que nos demos cuenta, varias especies únicas en el mundo se habrán extinguido

En mi discurso desarrollaré la idea de que la primera víctima de los cambios ecológicos globales fue la ciencia ecológica misma. Haré diagnóstico y también propuestas.
