Muy interesante reflexión 👏. Evaluar ciencia no puede reducirse a un único indicador ni al factor de impacto. Difícil cambiar el sistema, pero el primer paso es asumir que la evaluación es compleja y no cabe en una sola métrica.

An analysis of forest plant traits from across the tropical Americas suggests that forests are not changing fast enough to keep up with #ClimateChange.

In Mesoamerican cloud forests, such as this one in the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, climate change and deforestation are leading to plant species moving upslope. However, an analysis of forest plant traits from across the tropical Americas suggests that forests are not changing fast enough to keep up with climate change.

1/ New paper @pnas.org on the structure of mutualistic #networks between individuals plants and frugivore species.

Last chapter of @elequintero.bsky.social's PhD thesis

doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #ecopubs
Downscaling mutualistic networks from species to individuals reveals consistent interaction niches and roles within plant populations Species-level networks emerge as the combination of interactions spanning multiple individuals, and their study has received considerable attention over the past 30 y. However, less is known about the structure of interaction configurations within species, even though individuals are the actual interacting units in nature. We compiled 46 empirical, individual-based, interaction networks on plant-animal seed dispersal mutualisms, comprising 1,037 plant individuals across 29 species from various regions. We compared the structure of individual-based networks to that of species-based networks and, by extending the niche concept to interaction assemblages, we explored individual plant specialization. Using a Bayesian framework to account for uncertainty derived from sampling, we examined how plant individuals “explore” the interaction niche of their populations. Both individual-based and species-based networks exhibited high variability in network properties, lacking remarkable structural and topological differences between them. Within populations, frugivores’ interaction allocation among plant individuals was highly heterogeneous, with one to three frugivore species dominating interactions. Regardless of species or bioregion, plant individuals displayed a variety of interaction profiles across populations, with a consistently-small percentage of individuals playing a central role and exhibiting high diversity in their interaction assemblage. Plant populations showed variable mid to low levels of niche specialization; and individuals’ interaction niche “breadth” accounted for 70% of the population interaction diversity, on average. Our results highlight how downscaling from species to individual-based networks helps understanding the structuring of interactions within ecological communities.

"Some land animals embark on epic migration journeys, covering hundreds of kilometers over time as they move between feeding grounds, safer habitats with fewer predators, and their home ranges. This graphic visualizes the longest known land animal terrestrial migrations in kilometers. The data comes from the study “Longest terrestrial migrations and movements around the world” by Joly, K., Gurarie, E., Sorum, M.S. et al. published in 2019." https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-land-animals-with-longest-migrations/
