Diario Público@publico.es · 4d agoEspaña es el país de Europa que más superficie pierde por los incendios. El calor no lo explica todo; el abandono rural, boques más descuidados y la falta de prevención también están detrás de los fuegos cada vez más difíciles de apagar ✍ Por Helena Margarit
The Sauve Lab is recruiting students! Please share! Interested in conservation, forensics, or evolutionary ecology? Email your research interests, CV, and info for two references to sauve.drew@ontariotechu.ca! While Fall 2027 is the primary intake, there may be some flexibility in start dates.
What are the conferences/meetings that plant evolutionary ecologists in the UK attend? It seems silly for us to be siloed by taxonomy, so I’m keen to explore how we can encourage greater discourse. Please RT.

We refine & extend the Y-model heuristic (“mean invariance” hypothesis) to explain why resource limitation reveals tradeoffs + suggestions for what empiricists should measure (hint: it’s not average resource availability in a population, or solely variation in acquisition-allocation). Now in JEB
Influence of the resource acquisition–allocation Y-model’s parameters on the detection of phenotypic trade-offs
Abstract. Phenotypic trade-offs, predicted to occur due to resource limitation, are not commonly detected. For this, the Y-model provides a powerful heuris

It is finally out! The second paper of my PhD with @sociableweaver.bsky.social! You want to test if the species you're working on is really monomorphic? You want to see what are the dimorphic parts of it? Have a look to our work at #AnimalBehaviourJournal 😉 See more at => doi.org/10.1016/j.an...

Sad that #ExE2026 is over - it was fantastic to visit Falmouth! Thank you so much to all the organisers. From the @egioxford.bsky.social we had a range of talks from @rona-learmonth.bsky.social @davididiaquez.bsky.social @celestineadelmant.bsky.social and Lucy Morley
Strong EGI team at #ExE2026 this wk: @devisatarkar.bsky.social on climate extremes @davididiaquez.bsky.social on mass change @celestineadelmant.bsky.social on phenology drivers, Hannah on number-quality trade-off @rona-learmonth.bsky.social on plasticity & carry-over effects & Lucy on spatial scales
A new group dedicated to evolutionary ecology! This is an opportunity to have a permanent community space for the field, as well as ensure regular conferences like #ExE2026. But it needs your help 👇
BES Evolutionary Ecology Group@bes-evolecol.bsky.social · last mo.We’re now looking for evolutionary ecologists to join our committee to build #ExE2026 into the start of something great, not just a one-off. Details here: www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content/evol...
The evolutionary ecology #ExE2026 conference in Cornwall had a very similar vibe to the American Society of Naturalists @asn-amnat.bsky.social stand alone meetings. It would be great to have more European participation in ASN and coordinate future meetings, maybe alternating sides of the Atlantic.
A reminder for everyone at #Ex2026: if you’d like to get involved in keeping our new community thriving and growing, come along to an open conversation about future plans at 9:30 on Friday. We’ll meet outside the campus bar.
I am giving away a free copy of the #BayesianWorkflow book by @statmodeling.bsky.social, @avehtari.bsky.social, @rmcelreath.bsky.social et al!! Please like, repost, and follow to enter. I will randomly draw the winner next Weds July 8. 😀 routledge.com/9780367490140 #RStats #DataScience #Bayesian
