The global wildlife trade—especially in illegal and live-animal markets—is fueling the spread of diseases from animals to humans, according to a new study in Science.
The findings show that traded mammals are more than 40% more likely to harbor human-infecting pathogens, with species accumulating more shared pathogens the longer they remain in the trade.

Excited to share our new paper in Ecology!
We compiled a global dataset of bird plumage colors based on illustrations from the 'Handbook of the Birds of the World'.

EXTRAORDINARY HEAT ALLOVER EUROPE
Thousands of records are being brutalized with margins never seen before allover Europe from West to East
In 3 centuries of climatic history there had never been anything remotely close to this.
Most extreme day in history BY FAR
Updates tbc
🚨Big news🚨
A Pocket Guide to Scientific Writing and Publishing is now out!
This is the book I wish I’d had 20 years ago — short, practical and designed to help researchers write & get their papers published
I hope it helps many♥️
Please share with anyone who might benefit!
New paper out about the likely futures of Iberian Northern Birds:

New paper out in @GlobalChangeBio !
Non-native species & income shape urban bird diversity & ecosystem services in Iberia 🐦🏙️
Surprising finding? Lower-income areas provide more bird-related services, thanks in part to non-native species like parakeets.

Ecological niche models using only #invasivespecies distribution data can effectively forecast the expansion of species like the common #waxbill, but require several decades of data for accurate predictions:
