New paper out today in Ecology Letters! In this synthesis we dive into the equilibrium assumption in ecology - why it's everywhere in ecological theory, the evidence for it in nature, when meeting the assumption is important, how to achieve it in empirical research, and more! tinyurl.com/yh6kyysm

La Nina is here and the global cool-down is well underway (global mean sea surface temps are lowest since March 2023).
Remember it's not the individual ups & downs that matter, it's the steady warming trend, which will continue until we reach zero carbon emissions.

What makes stars live/how they die - redux. Because I can't leave well enough alone. Reworked upper R side from early thumbnails - then still couldn't make it work. Kept a few elements from the attempt into final(?) version. Suspect I may never be quite satisfied with this... #Nostos #Unflattening 2
