One more step towards more insightful analyses in Evolutionary Macroecology. Thanks @fabrovillalobos.bsky.social and all coauthors still not blueskylized for the collaborative endeavor!

📢Our new paper on alien vertebrates in the world's mountains is now out @naturecomms.bsky.social. Using data on 700+ spp across ~3,000 mountains we explore their distribution patterns,flows across realms, presence in protected areas, and the factors driving these trends.

#ProcB in nationalgeographic.com | Rapid evolution of prehistoric dogs from wolves by natural and sexual selection emerges from an agent-based model: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...
New model shows dogs could have domesticated themselves
They may have been drawn to the discarded remains from ancient human meals, and a new model shows tame wolves could have become dogs in as little as 8,000 years.

Science (and science policy, and conservation) friends, I need your help!

We are collecting *specific, clear* examples of harms caused by the Trump administration's attacks on science, to be included in an open letter.

I first read the famous 1925 Yule paper at its 80th birthday - during my Master thesis work, and it shaped my research profoundly. It was a pleasure and honour to lead this special 100 anniversary issue celebrating Yule's legacy and phylogenetic models with @noahrosenberg.bsky.social and Mike Steel!
A mathematical theory of evolution: phylogenetic models dating back 100 years—a new #PhilTransB theme issue describes recent developments in models of #evolutionary trees and networks, and in #phylogenetic modeling for applications in biology: https://buff.ly/41r1wkR @tanjastadler.bsky.social

🌍 Ecosystems are shaped by feedbacks! ✨

From tipping points to spatial patterns, this study by @ricardsole.bsky.social shows how non-linear thresholds govern biodiversity loss and resilience 🌳🔥

Just opened my Bluesky account, and what better way to kick things off than with big news? Our paper, “Broad geographic dispersal is not a diversification driver for Emberizoidea,” is now out in PRSB!

Broad geographic dispersal is not a diversification driver for Emberizoidea | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
The movement of species to new geographical areas has been proposed to be crucial for speciation. As such, dispersal has been regarded as a likely explanation for the variation in species richness amo...
