New in @science.org from @hannoseebens.bsky.social and colleagues: invasive species impacts are actually more severe in the Global South, not the North — we'd been inferring severity from report counts, which was misleading. I wrote a short summary here: predirections.substack.com/p/invasive-s...

The German BMZ plans to phase out DAAD university cooperation programmes with the Global South from 2030, affecting programmes across South America, including Argentina. A Bundestag petition calls for this decision to be reconsidered. 30,000 signatures are needed by August 18. Please sign & share!

It is so nice to see that many people are buying my writing and publishing book for their incoming grad students. THANKS! My main goal was to have a book for early researches so they could learn faster what i learned in years mybook.to/ScienceGuide #Academia #PhDLife #ScienceWriting 🧪🌐

📝 New paper out in PRSB on plant-epiphyte network recovery after invasive plant removal in the endangered Scalesia forest, Galapagos! We show that: 🌿 Restoration increases epiphyte richness, 🌳 large mossy trees promote recovery, and 🌱 Scalesia is a keystone host. More info 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Attending one of my favorites conferences of the year! IAVS (@iavs5.bsky.social) is always an awesome opportunity to meet new people, exchange ideas and have a lot of discussions! Hope to see everyone passing by my poster today 😉 (amazed with the opportunity to see Vellend speaking in person)

Both climate change and biodiversity loss are intertwined crises with severe consequences for people and nature. seedling On this #EnvironmentDay and every day, we remember the essential role of biodiversity in effective climate action.

Don't make plans for Friday 29 at 1 PM CEST, because the second webinar on stability is coming! Join Charlotte Kunze and Viktoriia Radchuk for a session about "Calculating stability across levels of biological organization" by registering at us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

OpenAccess science sounds great! But what if authors have to pay (Gold OA)? Well, clear biases appear: less participation from low and middle-income countries. Find all about it in our new study led by Pablo Huais and Javi Nori 👇@oikosjournal.bsky.social shorturl.at/bheb6 @peeer.bsky.social

Are we thoroughly thinking/discussing about Open Access models? We invite you to think about OA not only as a chance to read science freely, but as an opportunity to make science more equitable, inclusive, with more voices from different places

It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
