📢🦋 Our paper ‘Global selection on insect antipredator coloration’ is out and featured on the cover of @science.org

We ran a huge experiment to find out how ecological context favours camouflage and warning colouration as antipredator strategies. 1/6

👀 Really glad to have been part of this @integradiv.bsky.social paper!
We found broad variation in individual views, but general consensus across stakeholder types on what matters for the #conservation of #Mediterraneanforests 🌿
Thank you @hernandezaguero.com for leading such an interesting work!

A few months ago, Nature published how-to guide for using ChatGPT to write your peer reviews in 30 minutes.

This is, of course, a horrible idea. Here’s my response with @jbakcoleman.bsky.social .

AI, peer review and the human activity of science

When researchers cede their scientific judgement to machines, we lose something important.

Endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, this mountain goat survived glaciations in a climatic refugia.

Now, rising temps push it northward and upslope—often to peaks in summer.

A species shaped by past climates, and challenged by future ones. ⛰️🌍

We're living in a landscape of novel ecosystems, emerging in every part of the world.

The topic has been ably covered in this BBC article on "freakosystems" by Matthew Ponsford @interspecies.agency

This Hawaiian island's 'freakosystems' are a warning from the future

Ecosystems which have never been seen before are being accidentally created by humans. They offer a stark look into the nature of tomorrow.
