Our students are great! Look what they made! The Biology building looks cool and it also shows that we are against the project of a huge paper mill in Galicia. It will be a disaster for biodiversity. #AltriNON —- Nuestra facultad viste sus mejores galas contra Altri. Obra de arte del alumnado 🙌🏽

Today, is the 216th anniversary of the birth of Charles #Darwin, a day to celebrate Darwin, natural selection and #evolution. Let's celebrate with a bit of (much needed) music www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry7N... Happy #DarwinDay!!!

Happy #11F everyone! 🎉👩‍🔬 To celebrate, we’ve added a transcript of Carola’s talk on Maternity & Academia to our website—for those who prefer a quick read over a video. Check it out here, along with the video of her invited talk at WISE 2020 www.biogeography-usc.org/carola_wise.... @cretus.usc.gal

Do abyssal species that grow on polymetallic nodules have more restricted dispersal than fauna not depending on this resource? Contrasting distance-decay patterns in community similarity across the NE Pacific basin suggest they do! See our new study doi.org/10.1111/geb.... on time for #17DSBS!

The project of a huge pulp mill in Galicia (NW Iberian Peninsula) has raised important environmental and social concerns. #AltriNon For the first time (since we can remember), there has been a united front against this type of project from many University departments and faculties. The vote is in.

If you are interested in distance-decay models for #Biogeography or Community #Ecology, we have made a quite cool whiteboard video about It. (Functions to adjust, compare and plot distance-decay models are available in betapart (R package) youtu.be/uw1SureoP3Y?...

We usually post about #Macroecology #Biogeography in English. Pero también hacemos divulgación de nuestra investigación en castellano. Abro hilo sobre distance-decay (= descenso de la similitud en las comunidades biológicas con la distancia (espacial)) 👇🏽 revistas.usc.gal/index.php/na...

I'm looking for a motivated postdoc to join my lab at Aarhus University. Details: bit.ly/3SMpLp7 The position is broad, basically statistical ecology, community ecology, macroecology, or related to animal science #PostDocJobs #Ecology

I have put together this short video explaining why we do what we do in the lab. It is our vision but also our mission: youtu.be/56QvmT48uFI?...

Hi BlueSky! We study large-scale biodiversity patterns, mostly of beetles 🪲. We also develop methods and maintain betapart, an R package for beta diversity partitioning and distance-decay. Here we explain why we are interested in Invertebrate Biogeography. youtu.be/eJD85pl-xlM?... #Macroecology
