How paleoenvironmental data improves climate models—the Amazon example Study opens up new ways of reconstructing human-environment interactions in the past.

A new study by @ukceh.bsky.social @khoproject.bsky.social et al. published at @natureportfolio.bsky.social #npjbiodiversity not only provides explanation for #biodiversity in the Amazon region, but also opens up new ways of reconstructing human-environment interactions in the past. How? Read more:

As we near the final stages of #TIBS2026, Rob Whittaker shares exciting insights into the Frontiers of Biogeography journal —covering its development, impact factor, and a compelling call to action for @biogeography.bsky.social members to help grow the journal. ⏩ biogeography.pensoft.net

I was delighted to receive a best poster award at the closing ceremony yesterday! Had a great time at #TIBS2026 and look forward to seeing all the wonderful biogeographers again in the future 🌍🌎🌏 @biogeography.bsky.social

Coming back home from another great @biogeography.bsky.social TIBS meeting #TIBS2026. So many great talks, conversations with friends and colleagues, and renovated energy for future research!
It is always a pleasure to attend these meetings.

⏩️❓️‼️ If you have your biogeography research to be published, there is the perfect journal with an impact factor of 2.5 & being led & driven by a great society @biogeography.bsky.social🎉‼️⏪️

It was great to meet so many other Early Career Researchers at our #TIBS2026 mixer last night - both catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.

To celebrate all the ECR Biogeographers, we have created a starter pack so you can follow all the exciting work being done:

‘I rarely get outside’: scientists ditch fieldwork in the age of AI In the race to embrace new technologies, some ecologists fear their field is losing touch with nature.

New technologies are revolutionising ecology, with more data than ever available at our fingertips. But what are the costs and perils of ecologists doing less field work?

Los que no sepáis quién es Robe Iniesta, os invito a escuchar “Jesucristo García”.

Y luego a pensar si a lo mejor, si esa canción hubiese salido hoy, Manos Limpias lo hubiera denunciado, hubiese ido a juicio y Robe hubiese acabado en la cárcel.

Es cierto, en esos años cada concierto pensábamos que era el último, y se nos ha ido ahora que pensábamos que le íbamos a tener muchos años acompañándonos

Se nos ha ido un pedacito grande de la vida

Esta es una de las mias

Hace diez años, el mundo tenía 1,04°C de calentamiento respecto a la era preindustrial y los modelos preveían alcanzar los 1,5°C en 2042.

Con los datos de septiembre de 2025 -el planeta ya está en 1,4°C- se superará el umbral de 1,5°C en 2029.

Un adelanto de 13 años.

Lo suscribo 100%

Este libro engaña. Esperas una guía de tracks de montaña y te encuentras con una lección maravillosa de ecología, geobotánica, historia natural, usos tradicionales del paisaje y efectos del cambio global en la Península Ibérica. Precioso. Muchas gracias Adri, mola

La genialidad no tiene porqué ir acompañada de la razón. Lynyrd Skynyrd escribieron Sweet Home Alabama en respuesta a las críticas de racismo de Neil Young en sus canciones.Y en la icónica etiqueta del Anís del Mono el mono es una caricatura de Darwin (el dueño era contrario a la teoría evolutiva)

To reform universities, first tackle global rankings Universities are in thrall to a rankings system that prioritizes narrow aspects of academic life. Three changes would give institutions the freedom to explore fresh ways of working.

University reputations and finances often hinge on their position in global ranking tables that prioritize narrow aspects of academic life. Elizabeth Gadd writes about three changes that would give institutions the freedom to explore fresh ways of working. #Academicsky 🧪
