Larretxi and de Guzman had the chance to present their work at the #worldbiodiversityforum2026 Very nice session at the conference!
Ecosystem stability is about local diversity! 🌏🌱 Really happy to see our new paper out in @natcomms.nature.com. Thanks to @huangmj.bsky.social for beautifully leading this project and to coauthors @danimontoya.bsky.social, Yao Xiao, Xiang Liu & Yann Hautier for this great collective effort.
Functional plant traits help explain ecosystem stability. The authors show that it is only at local scales that species richness stabilizes productivity, and functional diversity destabilizes productivity, with neither effect evident at larger spatial scales. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Durante 5 años, 600 voluntarios han analizado la contaminación plástica en 22 playas y 30 ríos de toda España. 600.000 litros de agua filtrados. 700 muestras. ¿El resultado? Han encontrado microplásticos en el 100% de los entornos acuáticos. Hilo🧵
La UE está preparando un regalo para los gigantes de los pesticidas… y una pesadilla para el resto: Permitir que los pesticidas tóxicos, incluido el glifosato, permanezcan en el mercado para siempre. ¡Actúa! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-12...

📢❗🚨Reminder: POSTDOC in THEORETICAL ECOLOGY. Great opportunity to develop theoretical models on the ecology of food systems, exploring key aspects such as biodiversity, spatial heterogeneity, pollination, and stability. Close collaboration with researchers from multiple disciplines & countries
I am pleased to announce a new postdoctoral position in Theoretical Ecology. More info here: info.bc3research.org/2025/11/06/p...
Todo mi apoyo a la universidad pública de Madrid. La educación pública no es un gasto, sino una inversión social. Es un derecho que no debe privatizarse, sino ampliarse, y no debe depender de la cuenta corriente.

Los impuestos y prohibiciones a bolsas de plástico reducen su presencia en la basura costera hasta un 47 %. Los impuestos son especialmente eficaces. Expandir estas políticas puede mitigar la contaminación y proteger la fauna. paper hoy en Science: www.science.org/doi/full/10....
Plastic bag bans and fees reduce harmful bag litter on shorelines
Plastic pollution threatens marine and freshwater ecosystems and the services they provide. Although plastic bag bans and taxes are increasingly implemented worldwide, their effectiveness in reducing ...

It is quite common nowadays for big environmental research programs & projects to focus on using existing data And for projects to be downgraded if they plan to go through the laborious process of collecting new data Despite the fact that we often don’t have the right data for important questions
