As authors, reviewers and editors, we can actively shape the publishing ecosystem. Different journals entail different choices. Ethical publishing—despite occasional compromises—should be the primary driver of our decisions. Check: peeer.net/2026/02/20/differe… #BetterPublishing
On June 2nd, I will be defending my PhD dissertation titled "Exploring the role of ecological traits in shaping spatial patterns of genetic diversity". Anyone interested in watching the pre-defense seminar, address and zoom link are in the flyer below 🐦⬛🧬

Welcome Glaucia Del-Rio, our new curator of ornithology! 👏👏👏 🦜🗺️ Along with her curator duties, she wants to establish a collection of cell cultures, both as a scientific resource and as insurance against extinction.

I am absolutely flattered to share our review at
@NatRevBiodiv. Lead by Dr. @camila_c_ribas. A collaborative/interdisciplinary work where we integrated geological, climatic, ecological and genetic evidence for the region that hosts the largest biodiversity on Earth: the Amazon!
Here we go! The first issue of Nature Reviews Biodiversity is now live🥳🎉🥂. Thank you to our authors, reviewers, and community for the support! We hope you enjoy the reading. nature.com/nrbd/volumes/1/is…

Preprint with postdoc Kerry Cobb! When processes (e.g., ghost introgression) are omitted from training data, machine learning approaches are error-prone. Domain adaptation allows accurate inferences of introgression in the presence of unmodeled processes! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

It is a really jarring moment to be a historian. To know what might be coming is alarming. To realize that no one around you sees it or acknowledges it is a weird place to be in. Its like time traveling without time traveling. 1/8
