Trump raised import tariffs on Brazilian products based on the claim - never proven - that Brazil uses unregulated forced labor.
Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 4d agoThe diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
Daily reminder that GDscript supports the Sumerian clay table alphabet, Akkadian cuneiform of ancient Mesopotamia. This is perfectly valid code you can write in your game:
Our paper (also, my first first-author paper) is now available in MEE early view! In this study, we introduced a state-dependent Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model we implemented in RevBayes to test adaptive hypotheses in macroevolution. (1/3) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
An efficient Bayesian phylogenetic approach for joint inference of continuous and discrete trait evolution under a state‐dependent Ornstein–Uhlenbeck model
Macroevolutionary adaptation of a continuous trait to different discrete states across species can be modelled using a phylogenetic state-dependent Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process. Existing infere...

New paper out! 🖨️ Glad to be part of this study, out in Science Advances: "Emergent patterns of island biodiversity in the Anthropocene" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Much of what looks natural in island biodiversity is a legacy of human impacts going back millennia. See main findings 👇🧵 (1/8)
Emergent patterns of island biodiversity in the Anthropocene
Human impacts substantially affect our ability to detect and understand natural biodiversity patterns.

Gente eu escrevi um negócio… mês passado saiu um artigo sobre a origem de tartarugas e eu fui convidada a escrever um editorial sobre isso. Tentei fazer uma revisão do histórico do tema e um resumo do artigo publicado. A quem interessar possa :) kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

Can we please quit with the oversized 'try AI!' popups on scientific papers that take up readable space? This popup on @newphyt.bsky.social doesn't even have a way to shrink it so I have to give up the bottom couple of inches on my screen.

It was a pleasure to contribute to this amazing initiative by #ProcB. In our paper, Angela M. Mendoza-Henao, Johana Goyes Vallejos, and I provide an overview of female calling behaviour in frogs, highlighting this largely overlooked aspect of anuran behaviour. Read our paper here: bit.ly/4gT0aao

Happy last day of Pride! A few years ago I needed a colour scheme for a seal evolution figure, so I thought why not use the Pride Progress flag colours? I wonder if anyone will notice? No-one did, so please enjoy my Pride map of oceanic origination regions. academic.oup.com/evolut/artic... 🦭 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
Really excited to share that Chris Martinez & my paper on ecological, functional, & evolutionary diversity produced by novel jaw joints in fishes is out at@evojlinnsoc.bsky.social!
