Biologist trying to understand and explain biodiversity.
OpenAccess science sounds great! But what if authors have to pay (Gold OA)? Well, clear biases appear: less participation from low and middle-income countries. Find all about it in our new study led by Pablo Huais and Javi Nori 👇@oikosjournal.bsky.social shorturl.at/bheb6 @peeer.bsky.social
What do we know about mammal biodiversity patterns in the American tropics? Find out in the new book chapter by @liomys.mx and yours truly 👇 link.springer.com/rwe/10.1007/... The whole book is a gem for those interested in the study of mammals of one of the world's most diverse regions!

Congratulations to our @esme-ashe.bsky.social for winning one of the @biogeography.bsky.social poster award at #TIBS2026. Well deserved! 🎉
Glad to be back at TIBS conference #TIBS2026. Specially, to find my former students and now colleagues @axelarango.bsky.social and @aberenicega.bsky.social presenting their cool postdoc work. Got to see old friends and met new ones, always the best part ;)

📢Our new paper on alien vertebrates in the world's mountains is now out @naturecomms.bsky.social. Using data on 700+ spp across ~3,000 mountains we explore their distribution patterns,flows across realms, presence in protected areas, and the factors driving these trends. 🐟🐸🦎🦜🦝⛰️ 👉 rdcu.be/ebidu

#ProcB in nationalgeographic.com | Rapid evolution of prehistoric dogs from wolves by natural and sexual selection emerges from an agent-based model: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...
New model shows dogs could have domesticated themselves
They may have been drawn to the discarded remains from ancient human meals, and a new model shows tame wolves could have become dogs in as little as 8,000 years.

I first read the famous 1925 Yule paper at its 80th birthday - during my Master thesis work, and it shaped my research profoundly. It was a pleasure and honour to lead this special 100 anniversary issue celebrating Yule's legacy and phylogenetic models with @noahrosenberg.bsky.social and Mike Steel!

The movement of species to new geographical areas has been proposed to be crucial for speciation. As such, dispersal has been regarded as a likely explanation for the variation in species richness amo...
