You've heard of Bacon numbers, Erdos numbers. Who is it for ecology? I bet most have a Levin number < 3.

With sadness and respect, we honor the legacy of Dr. Jim Estes, who passed away this week. A pioneer of marine ecology, Jim’s groundbreaking work transformed our understanding of ecosystems and the essential role of keystone predators like sea otters. He is an icon in sea otter research. 🧵👇
