Museum collections provide some of the most important data to help us understand and predict what is happening under a changing climate. However, our collections pre-date electronic databases by hundreds of years so how do we know what we have?

Sea ice is a key habitat that structures #Antarctic marine ecosystems and drives Southern Ocean biogeochemical cycles. We model what changes in sea-ice extent, thickness and duration mean for algae, copepods, krill, salps and fish🧊🦠🦐🐟

Excited to share recent work where we use a social–ecological lens to elucidate the ways in which oft neglected negative human histories drive landscape change and influence conservation practice.

Tadpole transport, piggyback style, is a #poisonfrogs’ trademark, but does it compromise the efficacy of the carrier’s warning signal? According to this new study led by @mariaptoro, it seems that’s the case! Beautiful #cienciacriolla out now in @evoecology 🤩 @carvajaljcastro
