Thank you @gfoesoc.bsky.social & @nordicoikos.bsky.social! This years conference was clearly one of the best i‘ve ever been to. The community, content quality, key notes, organization, venue, catering, …👏👏👏 I leave inspired and motivated and am looking forward to the next meeting!
SORTEE at the NSO-GfÖ conference! Want to discuss open, reliable, equitable & reproducible science? Say hi at our booth! You’ll find a 'science frustration & hopes' board, information leaflets, and a chance to win a #SORTEE t-shirt 🎉 #NSO2026 #GfOe2026 @nordicoikos.bsky.social @gfoesoc.bsky.social
Always a pleasure to meet my good friend @philaes.bsky.social, here at the @nsogfoe2026.bsky.social joint meeting of @gfoesoc.bsky.social and @nordicoikos.bsky.social promoting his awesome model predicting @invasivespecies.bsky.social and just having a good time in the awesome town of Odense! 💜💚🇩🇰
@mickroflora.bsky.social in action at the joint @gfoesoc.bsky.social @nordicoikos.bsky.social conference 2026. Come visit my friend and his poster 🍻
From #neobiota2026 conference to @gfoesoc.bsky.social & @nordicoikos.bsky.social 2026 conference in Odense, Denmark. Talk tomorrow at 10:45 - I am very much looking forward to present our work (@hannoseebens.bsky.social @mormoops.bsky.social) there! 😊
Presenting my poster on our new model framework to forecast spread of non-native species 5:20pm today at @neobiota.pensoft.net #NeoBiota2026 conference. I developed the framework with @hannoseebens.bsky.social and @mormoops.bsky.social who also present work at the conference.
BP & ExxonMobil doubled, Shell tripled, Chevron quintupled their profits! They plan to extract more oil and reduce renewable energy sectors. While thousands die of heat waves and fires, entire ecosystems get fucked, species go extinct & prices explode. Fuck them! www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/u...

Reminder: July's Funk Biogeography Seminar is coming up this Wednesday. There's still time to register- come join us!
The International Biogeography Society@biogeography.bsky.social · 3mo agoJuly's Funk Seminar will be given by Dr. Mark Costello! In both terrestrial and marine systems, the latitudinal biodiversity gradient appears bimodal, peaking in mid-latitudes- but the drivers of this pattern vary across systems.

Reptiles with longer Wikipedia pages tend to be bigger. The relationship is a power law with exponent = 0.85. I guess humans really like writing about big lizards? The longest article is the Komodo Dragon.

mori: Shared memory for R objects
mori is a new R package for sharing R objects across processes via OS-level shared memory. Parallel workers get zero-copy, lazy ALTREP access to the same physical pages — share once, read anywhere.

For every £1 directed toward protecting nature in 2023, £33 went toward destroying it. A landmark new @ipbes.net report sets out what businesses need to do, and the tools already exist to do it. We've written a short explainer on what it means in practice. buff.ly/nXdzzW7

I just visited Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica, one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Walking in this pristine forest and experiencing the sheer diversity and interactions of plants, animals, fungi, lichens, the elements, in this ecosystem was almost spiritual. Protect life on Earth!
