Crossing boundaries: Introduced trout alter the bird community in a naturally fishless headwaters ecosystem
Alpine areas such as the headwaters of California's Sierra Nevada are increasingly imperiled by climate change and other human-induced stressors. For one, the introduction of non-native fishes into o...

Seeing your own research in the news is a crazy experience! We found that lethal control is not an effective strategy and coyotes are probably just the new normal. Amazing how an article can turn a lengthy study into a sound bite 😅

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.

La arqueología está en todas partes, solo hay que saber mirar con los ojos adecuados.

La historia de cómo los Quebrantahuesos acumularon, a lo largo de los siglos, materiales humanos para la construcción de sus nidos es más que fascinante...¡Incluso una punta de ballesta!
