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 · 4w ago

July'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. Learn more and register here: www.biogeography.org/news/news/ju...

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.

A man writing about a man doing man-things in a colonial man‘s world. Still, a captivating book on the emergence of biogeography as a discipline connecting the abiotic, geological realm with the distribution and evolution of species as perceived by Wallace during years of most-impressive fieldwork

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!

German academia: great place to work? You should think twice before giving it a try: Permanent positions are very rare, most scholars have to drop out after some precarious years. @dianakwon.bsky.social has written a great piece about this for @nature.com and also talked to yours truly. #IchBinHanna

How to stop the revolving door of German academia

Germany is one of the most popular destinations for students and scholars worldwide, but those pursuing academic careers face significant hurdles to success.

AMOC weakening declared a national security threat

Iceland has declared the AMOC a national security threat and an existential risk in the coming decades, enabling its Government to prepare for worst-case scenarios. Should we be worried?
