Join us! We are looking for a Ph.D. student to work on the response of ecological network structure to environmental drivers; this line of research can be adapted to questions on climate change, phylogenetic conservatism, and more! 🧪🌎 epic-biodiversity.org/opportunities/

Information about species interactions is very scarce! In a new preprint, @gabdans.bsky.social shows that the methodology that enables biodiversity monitoring and reporting also supports the detection of species interactions, leading to multi-use monitoring. epic-biodiversity.org/blog/2026/05...

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...

I’m happy to share a new paper in which I contributed. In this study, we present new occurrence data documenting the coexistence between one of the most common canids in the region and one of the most rarely detected species — even in long-term camera-trap studies — the Short-eared Dog. #SCmas

All videos from our #LivingData2025 conference with @geobon.org, @gbif.org, and @obis.org are now public! It was an amazing conference in Bogota, Colombia, thanks to our hosts at Instituto Humboldt. www.youtube.com/@LivingData2...

New paper and blog post by the one and only @crcruzr.bsky.social - are socio-ecological indicators ready to provide guidance for concrete biodiversity action? epic-biodiversity.org/blog/2026/01... The answer is: partially, but there are all sorts of interesting lessons for the future. 🧪🌎

A new chapter of the Atlas of Colombia was released a month ago, such an exciting milestone! I had the privilege of contributing as an author, joining other researchers in developing updated distribution maps for Colombia’s carnivores 🐾. #Biomodelos #AtlasDeColombia #cienciacriolla #mammals #latam

Climate change may dramatically increase the range of raccoons and skunks in Québec. Good news? Nope. They are two reservoirs of the raccoon rabies virus. In a recent preprint, we discuss how this might play out over the next 80 years. 🧪🧵

👋 Bonjour hi! We've built a whole new website, and @ctrlalttim.com has thoughts about the long-term dynamics of research groups to share. epic-biodiversity.org/blog/2025/11...

Today I presented at #LivingData2025 / #DatosVivos2025. My research explores how people conducting socioecological studies use indicators and how those indicators are taken up in public policy. #GBIF #GeoBON #TDWG #InstitutoHumboldt 🧵1/3

#LivingData #DatosLivos is starting three days, and the lab (and friends) will be well represented. Here are some presentations you simply can't miss. 🧪🌎 On Oct 21, @crcruzr.bsky.social will tell you everything about socio-ecological indicators and what they don't yet do well. 🧵 (1/n)

Excited to have been part of the developer team! 🐾 Beyond providing access to the List of Mammals of Colombia, it helps map species records and validate coordinates against administrative boundaries. Looking forward to feedback & future updates! #science #MamíferosColombia #CienciaCriolla #SCMas
