The #LivingPlanetIndex is an important tool to monitor animal populations. In a recent preprint, @crcruzr.bsky.social shows that the reported downward trends are driven by data gaps and population sizes reported as 0, and not only population decline. 🧪🌎 epic-biodiversity.org/blog/2026/05...

Very nice write-up of Maria Isabel's research on the biodiversity trends in Colombia's Tropical Dry Forest nouvelles.umontreal.ca/en/article/2...

Biodiversity at risk in Colombia’s tropical dry forests

A study of changes to the habitats of more than 700 species reveals massive biodiversity loss—but also possibilities for restoration.

ecology and evolution folks! what are your favorite recent-ish, accessible papers on trait evolution?

Cool paper alert. Was trying to model the thermal performance curves of several farmed seaweed species and ran across this awesome, theoretical unifying paper: “A universal thermal performance curve arises in biology and ecology” www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

My first @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social meeting was fantastic! New and old friends and colleagues, great science and a lot of fun! I co-led a workshop on publishing for ECRs, presented a talk on my lab’s latest work and received the editorial fellowship💜. Thanks ESA!

Andrea Paz Velez (of @umontreal.ca‬) is an inaugural Editorial Fellow! With experience across journals & continents, she’s focused on reducing bias—especially for multilingual authors & women in science.

Our #ESA2025 Awards Ceremony this morning also celebrated our newest ESA Excellence in Ecology (EEE) Scholars, our first cohort of Editorial Fellows, and this year's SEEDS Fellow. Give a round of applause for…⬇️

Yes! Come talk to me about publishing in the Bulletin of the ESA! Have an essay or an op-ed about ecology burning inside you or on your computer? Send it my way! A poem? Pictures depicting ecology? Papers on ecology education? We take them all! Find me at #ESA2025 and ask me anything!

🇨🇴 at the Living the data symposium at #CSEE2025 @crcruzr.bsky.social @juancarvq.bsky.social

🗓️ The full schedule for #CSEE2025 is now available online! 🔗 Check it out here: event.fourwaves.com/scee2025/sch...

What blew my mind away, though, is that #ICCB2025 offered LIVE, REAL-TIME English transcription/translation services for their oral presentations via their conference app. That's truly unbelievable! 🤯 (8/10)

Tatsuya Amano@tatsuya-amano.bsky.social · last yr.

So amazing to see #ICCB2025 has kicked off and our language accessibility measures have been described. Live English transcription & translation into 60 languages is working properly. 39 people has already used it in 10 languages. If you are at #ICCB2025, please give it a try! #languagebarriers

This effort has been spearheaded by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social. If you're a native speaker or already fluent in English, you might not consider your English proficiency a privilege, but it actually is. Being non-fluent in English comes w/ many disadvantages, as shown👇 (tinyurl.com/yc4nm8he). (2/10)

It's a summer conference season, so I thought I'd tell you about the tremendous efforts our conservation biology colleagues have been making to make conferences more INCLUSIVE & friendly to early career researchers (ECRs) not fluent in English. I find their accomplishments truly inspiring. 🧵(1/10)
