I’m like an octopus: I work with lots of data at once, have tentacles in different projects, and adapt quickly. 🐙

Carlos Lara-Romero Ph.D @carlos-lara0.bsky.social · 15d

What animal best represents your way of working with data, and why?
Are you fast or slow when working with data?
Meticulous or a bit chaotic when cleaning?
Do you work solo or as part of a team?
Do you spot patterns like a hawk or dig deep like a mole?

I’ll go first 👇

A paper in Nature suggests a quarter of heatwave events from 2000-23 would have been near impossible without anthropogenic climate change. The paper also indicates that major carbon emitters are responsible for around 50% of the increase in intensity of these events. ⚒️ 🧪

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature

Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

Our new paper @asn-amnat.bsky.social develops a Grand Unified Theory including both exploitative and interference competition doi.org/10.1086/737628. The R* rule of ecology (that 2 species cannot coexist on a single resource), is widely broken, including via a new trade-off we describe. 1/9

Abstract Many ecological models treat exploitative competition in isolation from interference competition. Corresponding theory centers around the R* rule, according to which consumers that share a si...

🐞🦋🪰 Interesting BBC article exploring the diversity of insect pollinators beyond bees.

👉 Read the article: www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Proud to see our research on moths cited among these less well-known pollinators! 🌙

New research is showing just how much plants and crops rely on a host of darkness-dwelling creepy crawlies.
