Happy to share that my recent contribution as co-author alongside Dr. Trejo-Hernández and colleagues, regarding research about agave plants in Tlaxcala, as a chapter in "Biodiversity Management and Domestication in the Neotropics", has been published: https://t.co/OqXwgI1RQ3

🌿 A new species of cycad from Guerrero, Mexico, named Dioon nuusaviorum, has been formally described.

⚠️ It has been classified as Endangered under IUCN guidelines.

@lasillarota @ecobici Y ojo @ecobici: no es culpa de los empleados. Me consta que mecánicos y "distribuidores" hacen lo mejor que pueden, con lo que tienen, pero el sistema está en decadencia... ¿Hora de revisar la concesión? @Semovi_CDMX @ClaraBrugadaM

[Diego E. Dávila @EmilioDavNav]

@lasillarota @ecobici Yo perdí "la fe" en @ecobici el año pasado y no volví a renovar mi suscripción. Mi intención era trasladarme de forma ágil y con menor impacto ambiental todos los días a mi trabajo. Imposible por la disponibilidad de bicicletas en estaciones clave y el estado de las mismas.

Each spring, eastern monarchs leave the oyamel fir forests of Mexico and begin their journey north.

They follow the growth of milkweed, laying eggs along the way. Each generation lives only a few weeks, but the migration continues through those that follow.

We're about to create the 1st gen of scientists who can't research without AI. And honestly? I'm not sure if that's evolution or devolution!

𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝘁𝗼:

— Extract key findings from dense papers in seconds
— Design entire experiments from scratch
— Turn complex studies into engaging content for public
— Generate survey questionnaires that would take days to create
— Respond to peer reviewers (yes, really)

& this book does a great job going through these details!

But missed the elephant in the room:
⤴️ research inequality.

Universities with AI access will accelerate faster than those without. Researchers fluent in prompt engineering will outpace those who aren't.

We're creating new divides in an already unequal system!

It doesn't address how AI might bias research directions:
⤴️ We're training AI on biased research. Now it's teaching us. See the problem?

Overall, this isn't another "AI will save us all" book.
Authors actually tested ChatGPT on real research tasks & documented both the wins and the spectacular failures.

𝐌𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: We need AI-literate researchers, not AI-dependent ones!

@ecobici Que a donde sea que llegue haya bicicletas suficientes, disponibles y funcionales. En otras palabras, un sistema bien gestionado.

Multimodal streets aren't "communism". They're good math.

El Tecuami (Senna wislizeni) está en explosión de flores ahora, los paisajes de la región de Tehuacán estan llenos de amarillo y este árbol además de hermoso da alimento a mucha biodiversidad (abejas, avispas, mariposas, etc)

[Diego E. Dávila @EmilioDavNav]

@minutoides Congratulations for your hard work, Miguel. It must have been an excellent presentation.

"Adaptive radiations" are almost always complicated, often involving introgression from external lineages. Case in point: Malawi cichlids.

5m spatial resolution! Wow! It will be interesting to see papers using this data to answer critical questions about the Amazonian rainforest #GIS #RStats

This year, I’ve been learning new tools to analyze #ecological data for my #PhD and it’s been incredibly exciting! As someone who’s always loved maps, I’m thrilled to explore spatial patterns for my species. I just generated my first habitat suitability projections using MaxEnt!

[Diego E. Dávila @EmilioDavNav]

It's critical to learn how to incorporate new tools such as #AI in the process of writing academic papers... Which are the opportunities, limits and caveats? As any tool, it's a double-edged sword, but nevertheless a powerful one #ScientificWriting #Ethics

@NorAlfaro @ecobici Urge una opción de movilidad funcional y bien administrada para nuestra ciudad !!! @LaSEMOVI @ecobici @ClaraBrugadaM !! Ya somos muchos usuarios inconformes con el estado de estaciones, bicicletas y la disponibilidad de éstas

[Diego E. Dávila @EmilioDavNav]

@ecobici Favor de dar seguimiento a este caso. Soy solo uno más de miles de usuarios que han expresado su molestia hacia el servicio actual de @ecobici en redes @LaSEMOVI @C5_CDMX @ClaraBrugadaM

[Diego E. Dávila @EmilioDavNav]

@ecobici Antes de continuar con la ampliación de nuevas estaciones y ciclovías se requiere que las existentes sean adecuadas y verdaderamente funcionales. La clave está en mejorar la gestión y el mantenimiento del servicio y unidades actuales @ecobici

[Diego E. Dávila @EmilioDavNav]

@ecobici @LaSEMOVI Y con todo respeto, @ecobici si ya no pueden con el paquete, hay que saber soltar y cambiar de manos. Urge una opción de movilidad de bajo impacto viable para la agenda sustentable 2030 en la CDMX @LaSEMOVI

[Diego E. Dávila @EmilioDavNav]

@ecobici Les agradezco su amabilidad. Pero esto es el pan de cada día en diferentes puntos de la ciudad. No es culpa de ustedes (los empleados). Creo que hay un mal manejo administrativo y de gestión. @LaSEMOVI @ecobici hay que poner atención a la concesión. Se debe evaluar su desempeño
