Must read out in @science.org "Climate change extinctions" by @MarkCUrban (on X) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Big take home: "extinctions will accelerate rapidly if global temperatures exceed 1.5°C. The highest-emission scenario would threaten approximately one-third of species, globally."

Remembering Jimmy Carter as one of the only US presidents who spoke honestly about Palestine. “The word ‘apartheid’ is exactly accurate…much worse than they were in South Africa by way” Goodman: Why don’t Americans know what you have seen? Carter: Americans don’t want to know

Birds have complex social lives; they pair-up, divorce and repair, but we know very little about when and how these relationships form. New work from Daisy Abraham & Josh Firth on Wytham Woods Great Tits shows that divorce happens early - probably soon after breeding www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Big news from Finnish publication forum. Almost all MDPI and Frontiers journals will be downgraded to level 0 and thus are not considered as properly peer reviewed trustworthy scientific journals. julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/news/chan...

In Norway we have a journal classification system. Journals that are considered ‘scientific’ are ranked as level 1 (satisfy the minimum scientific requirements) or level 2 (highest level, ~20% of journals for a given subfield) kanalregister.hkdir.no/publiserings... A few thoughts about this system…

My thoughts on the "one nation, one subscription" plan. I started writing this at the request of Nature India but withdrew when they said they wanted it for free, despite Springer-Nature being one of the richest and most profitable publishers. horadecubitus.wordpress.com/2024/12/12/o...

The time it takes for food to travel through an animal's body is important for nutrient assimilation and functions like seed dispersal. Here, we show that intestine length better predicts retention time than body mass; a simple, but important concept: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
