Interesting model combining mass extinction of giant dinosaurs and their effects on the seed sizes and later diversification of giant mammals which were dependent on the emergence of large seeded plants 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... 🧪 #Paleobio #EvoBio ⚒️ #Macroecology #Complexity

Well just received this email regarding a paper under review:

Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X https://go.nature.com/42tH8Ai

Just opened my Bluesky account, and what better way to kick things off than with big news? Our paper, “Broad geographic dispersal is not a diversification driver for Emberizoidea,” is now out in PRSB! 1/3 #Macroevolution #Macroecology #Biogeography

An extinction event in plants in the aftermath of the Quaternary megafaunal extinction? "Major potential plant extinction events were detected around 17,000 and 9000 years ago which lag maximum vegetation turnover." www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪 #EvoBio #Paleobio #Macroecology #Extinction
