Eco-evolutionary dynamics shaping biodiversity in the urban mosaic Nature Reviews Biodiversity - The urban mosaic is a complex assimilation of habitats, biotic and abiotic factors with eco-evolutionary influence on local and regional biodiversity. In this Review,...

Excited to share our new review in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com, coauthored w/allstar postdocs @vale-alaasam.bsky.social @annainthefield.bsky.social @anthonysnead.bsky.social Bridging island biogeography & evolutionary processes, we explore how eco-evo dynamics play out in the urban mosaic rdcu.be/e4tcj

Curious what would they choose to proceed to the full proposal stage for the Simons Collaborations Grant in Ecology and Evolution; they said that there is about 3% of the teams will be invited #rejection

Are you around Madison?

That’s what a great leader looks like.

🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them:

"We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be."

"What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

This infographic from the World Economic Forum shows global risks ranked by severity over two time periods: 2-year (short term) and 10-year (long term). The title reads "Global risks ranked by severity" with the WEF logo in the top right corner. The chart is divided into two columns, with risks color-coded into four categories: Environmental (green), Geopolitical (orange), Societal (red), and Technological (purple). In the short term (2 years), the top risks are: Geoeconomic confrontation Misinformation and disinformation Societal polarization Extreme weather events State-based armed conflict In the long term (10 years), the ranking shows: Extreme weather events Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse Critical change to Earth systems Misinformation and disinformation Adverse outcomes of AI technologies Both columns continue to rank risks through position 10, with environmental concerns featuring more prominently in the long-term outlook. The source is cited as "World Economic Forum Global Risks Perception Survey 2025-2026."

New World Economic Forum Global Risks data provides a stark warning: While short-term crises dominate headlines, "Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse" jumps to the 2nd highest risk over the 10-year horizon.

The long term is sooner than we think. Science-based policies via IPBES are crucial.🌍

Calling #NaturesNotebook participants! We have an opportunity for 18 observers to be interviewed by undergraduate students at UCLA this spring. The observer profiles will be featured on the @usa-npn.bsky.social website and in future newsletters.

Interested? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

That’s a really good discussion, thank you all for putting it together!

Excited!

Congratulations!! I am located in Madison WI and we will be neighbors! Look forward to reconnecting!

Excellent excellent resource!

Nice. Here is at Madison, WI. It is less intense than last night, but last night was pretty cloudy here.

Really excited to see our perspective on how urbanization affects species interactions out in Nature Cities, hoping to inspire more research on this topic. Hard team work led by former postdoc Pablo Moreno-García. Feel free to discuss! rdcu.be/eyjBj www.nature.com/articles/s44...

In this review at Nature Cities, led by @ecarlen.bsky.social we explored how religion, politics and war drive urban wildlife evolution by shaping environmental conditions and selective pressures. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Really cool work!
