A mass resignation of #AssociateEditors & #ChiefEditors is on the way @jbiogeography. Full solidarity ✊! I resigned earlier this year for the very same reasons (cf. blog 👇). @WileyGlobal puts profit over #BetterPublishing and is a global leader in a sick system. #Boycott!

I along with >95% of #AssociateEditors & several #ChiefEditors have now #Resigned from @jbiogeography. @WileyGlobal never responded constructively to our invitation to discuss #BetterPublishing. journalofbiogeographynews.or…

A new Science study helps explain why rates of species exchange are at least twice as high from west to east than in the opposite direction across Wallace’s Line, which separates the distinct biota of Australia and New Guinea from that of Southeast Asia. scim.ag/3sm

As one of the AEs in this work stoppage, I sincerely hope that @WileyGlobal gets back to the table and work together with the research community that they supposedly serve. This could have been avoided if they heeded the request for a dialogue.

🚨Another new paper alert🚨 Excited that our paper on #ProtectedAreas is out! We show park expansion is not enough if we don't safeguard the ones we already have! #bonus: we don't need much land to protect the most vulnerable species! #BiodiversityCrisis scim.ag/2R5

Gaps and weaknesses in the global protected area network for safeguarding at-risk species

Strategically expanding and strengthening protected areas could benefit ~70% of at-risk terrestrial mammals, birds and amphibians.

Are you team BAMM or team RevBayes? Does it even really matter? Read @WhimsicalAllium @TribbleTweets and my new preprint and find out! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… – at San Francisco, CA

Commonly used Bayesian diversification-rate models produce biologically meaningful differences on...

Identifying along which lineages shifts in diversification rates occur is a central goal of comparative phylogenetics; these shifts may coincide with key evolutionary events such as the development...

Have you seen our recent paper in @molecology? Using #DNA metabarcoding of arthropod-plant communities across a substrate age gradient in Hawaiʻi we show how ecological communities specialize over evolutionary time. @Berkeley_Evolab @GrunerDaniel @JunYing doi.org/10.1111/mec.16873

Ecological network structure in response to community assembly processes over evolutionary time

The dynamic structure of ecological communities results from interactions among taxa that change with shifts in species composition in space and time. However, our ability to study the interplay of...
