What a great last month! 🤩 So good to see our studies coming out as publications. This one is special as it done with data stingless bees in Bolivia! Take a look 👇🏼

🇧🇷Mocho-dos-banhados
🌎Asio flammeus
Conservação:Pouco Preocupante

O mocho-dos-banhados é uma ave strigiforme da família Strigidae.

Um pássaro de rapina, de porte médio, repousa sobre um poste de madeira. Suas penas exibem uma mistura de tons terrosos, com faixas e manchas em marrom, castanho e bege, que lhe conferem uma camuflagem natural. Seus olhos são grandes e amarelados, com um olhar fixo e atento. As garras, afiadas e escuras, agarram-se firmemente ao poste. O fundo é um campo verdejante sob um céu nublado, transmitindo uma sensação de calma e serenidade. Atenção: O alt da imagem foi gerado automaticamente.

What sustains biodiversity? 🌿🌸🐝🐦‍⬛ It’s not just about species, it’s also about individuals.
 
Our new paper in @esajournals.bsky.social Ecol. Monogr. shows how the way individuals specialize on their mutualistic partners can scale up to shape species persistence.

Bridging the gap between individual specialization and species persistence in mutualistic communities
Mutualistic interactions among organisms are fundamental to the origin and maintenance of biodiversity. Yet, the study of community dynamics often relies on values averaged at the species level, igno...

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
Panels one and two: Two white mice make their way through a maze. Panel three: Having completed the maze, the two mice are rewarded with some fruit. Two scientists watch them. One says: “Poor little things: all that thought and effort just to earn themselves a little treat.” The second scientist looks at a clock and says: “Coffee time!” Panels four and five: The two scientists make their way through a maze of corridors to a door marked “Canteen” Panel six: The scientists look at the food on offer. One says: “Ooh, Donuts!”

Our study, conducted with great care and attention, is out! It went through a meticulous community peer-review process under open science practices, and I’m proud to be part of it. The results may not be what we hoped for, but they are what we need to move toward real inclusivity in science. 💜

Thank you, @eseb.bsky.social!
Letter to ESEB members The European Society of Evolutionary Biology (ESEB) stands with fellow scientific societies in being profoundly concerned about the negative impacts upon science of recently-issued Executive Orders within the United States. Scientific research is a critically important endeavour for humanity, and modern society depends upon it for its well-being as well as for the search for understanding of our world. Recent challenges to the scale, scope and continuity of research funding in the US exemplify how rapidly scientific endeavour can be impeded. The US has contributed immeasurably to our field, and to science in general, and so these actions damage both the US and the global scientific enterprise. ESEB is particularly concerned about the potential for negative impacts upon the careers and aspirations of early career researchers, who represent science’s future. ESEB maintains that science is fundamentally enabled and strengthened by academic freedom and the open and free exchange of views within a diverse scientific community. Scientific research also flourishes when underpinned by a foundation of independent, transparent and equitable peer scrutiny. ESEB opposes all efforts to impede these core principles. We support our fellow scientists and remain committed to our core aim of supporting the study of organic evolution within a safe, inclusive and respectful environment. We are working with other scientific societies to unify and amplify our support and welcome your suggestions for how to be most effective in supporting science and our fellow scientists. Sincerely, ESEB Executive
