Super interesting theoretical paper by Brian Lerch linking social interactions to population dynamics

Published Ecological Monographs and guest edited by Dr. Leticia Avilés (huge thanks)

First--congratulations to Support Our Science for their hard work paying off! That was a massive effort and the entire scientific community in Canada owes them a debt of gratitude. 1/n

Congrats Aimée Classen for this well deserved achievement!

Hopefully $$$ to researchers will go way up in this new budget so that PIs can increase stipends they provide to grad students. Most grad students are supported by universities/researchers in Canada, so increase in scholarship value is just a first step.

All reproducible and open: github.com/ibartomeus/Cro… Having a dynamic paper is a dream come true. It shows science is a process and focuses on improving our answers. I hope is a new way to publish general questions.

Excellent news for our graduate students with fellowships. Hopefully for all others funding will increase as well. The researchers who can offer these $ as stipends are very few. A PhD fellowship is now more than the average NSERC DG!

A huge limitation for exploring large scale patterns of freshwater invertebrate diversity is the phylogeny. Here doi.org/10.1016/j.ears… we provide a comprehensive Tree of Life of EPTO and a review of their evolutionary history. Thanks Jorge García-Girón, Ph.D. et al

New in nature, we show that commonly applied approaches have failed to accurately represent global trends in biodiversity. So what's the problem and what's the solution?

🐠Fish populations fleeing warming water are likely to face long-term population decline, according to new research in NatureEcoEvo. Concordia University's Jean-Philippe Lessard Jean-Philippe Lessard says this makes these populations climate losers t.ly/1fO29 🐟
