Great annual meeting of our @mncn-bgcg.bsky.social biogeography and global change group and departament at the @mncn-csic.bsky.social biological station of El Ventorrillo. Good to meet new members and witness the extraordinary work of PhD students and Postdocs. Thanks for the organizers.

Finally it is here! 🥳
We simulated 280 virtual species under current and future scenarios testing multiple background levels.
Background optimization can improve model performance for current scenarios, but not so much for future ones.
Also 5% of the study area sampled as bg seems to be the best.

We show that marine communities around the world exhibit trophic convergence in similar environments — a global pattern echoing what we also found on land. This challenges classic biogeographic models and opens new doors for predicting biodiversity responses to change.

Este paper de la tesis de Fernando Hurtado muestra que la mayoría de especies coocurren o son neutrales a distintas escalas. La exclusión competitiva es menos común, y hasta el 7% de las especies analizadas ocurren juntas más en cojines de musgo que a escala regional @mncn-bgcg.bsky.social 🧪👇#NICED
Macroclimatic niche similarity and species relatedness shift their influence on species co‐occurrence in bryophyte forest communities across scales
The relationship between epiphytic bryophyte species associations changes with scale. Macroclimatic niche similarity strongly influences co-occurrence globally but less so at smaller scales. Most spe...

A great paper by @bryonyblades.bsky.social shows that mobilising data from recent surveys by taxonomists and other specialists complements the spatial and climatic coverage and reduces bias in data on insect distributions from @gbif.org. @cristinaronquillo.bsky.social @mncn-bgcg.bsky.social 🌐🧪

Despite its promise, spatial conservation prioritisation (SCP) remains underused. In @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social, I argue that SCP must evolve beyond the scientific methodology to embrace the social and political contexts in which conservation decisions are made. www.maraujolab.eu/2025/03/31/c...
