Something a little different and very fun with Pokémon!

Are Pokémon routes and habitats more realistic than you think? 🤔 New research shows that ecological patterns in Pokémon games closely resemble those found in the natural world. #geekstudies #Ecology #SciComm #GameStudies Article by N Stephenson, @shujie.bsky.social, @yarongliu.bsky.social, et al.

Fantastic time at #BES2025 @britishecologicalsociety.org talking community ecology past and present! From the early animals of the #Ediacaran time period with modern corals and rainforests

Really enjoyed the @thepalass.bsky.social annual meeting in Portsmouth—and giving my first conference talk. I shared some of my latest work on competition in Avalon communities. Thanks for the chats, and to the organisers and session chairs. Looking forward to next time. #PalAss

New paper in which we evaluate how we can use information on past extinction events to better contextualise the ongoing anthropogenic extinction, led by @anthropocenebio.bsky.social (with @bethanyjallen.bsky.social, @inesismartins.bsky.social, & others): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Huge thanks to @palaeopercs.bsky.social for inviting and hosting me! If you missed my talk on Tuesday, you can now catch up via their YouTube channel 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=x19X...

Later today I’ll be presenting on methods of estimating biodiversity in deep time for PalaeoPERCS! Hope to see you there 👋

My first poster! Big thanks to my amazing supervisors and labmates for all the support!

If you are interested in biodiversity in deep time, check out my new preprint with @rachelwarnock.bsky.social and @dralexdunhill.bsky.social! We review methods of quantifying diversity and diversification, using the fossil record and phylogenies with extinct tips 🐚🦕📊 doi.org/10.32942/X2D...

New 🗒️led by Alex Pigot - Macroecological rules predict how biomass scales with species richness in nature -Standing biomass increases with richness when large-bodied spp are numerically rare but independent when spp size & abundance are uncoupled. @ucl.ac.uk - Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Macroecological rules predict how biomass scales with species richness in nature

Despite advances in theory and experiments, how biodiversity influences the structure and functioning of natural ecosystems remains debated. By applying new theory to data on 84,695 plant, animal, and...
