Excited to share that the second paper of my PhD is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social 🍈🦜🍒🐒🍊🐿️
We show that the functional diversity of seed-dispersal interactions in tropical forests takes circa 20 years to recover after deforestation.

Delayed recovery of seed-dispersal interactions after deforestation
Landim et al. show that seed-dispersal interactions require about two decades to functionally
recover in tropical forests in Ecuador, but the recovery time of seed-dispersal functions
is delayed in pa...

New study in #Nature reveals the 'Gollum effect': nearly half of surveyed scientists report territorial behaviors—data hoarding, gatekeeping—mostly during #PhD. Early-career researchers bear the brunt; 1 in 5 left academia as a result.

Science’s ‘Gollum effect’: PhDs bear brunt of territorial behaviour
Survey respondents at all career stages report colleagues engaging in territorial and possessive behaviours — but early-career researchers are most often affected.

I'm guessing this is probably very well worth the read! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....
Ecology needs a causal overhaul
Ecology has yet to embrace causal inference, yet most questions in ecology are causal. Despite the common use of terms that imply causation, such as “shapes”, “drives”, or “impacts”, many studies shy...

How @animaltracking.bsky.social plans to track animals with Icarus to create the Internet of Animals and be able to study not just how/if they react to geological phenomena, but also monitor disease spread and find out many other cool things from their movement: www.theguardian.com/science/2024...
Can goats predict earthquakes? Can dogs forecast volcanic eruptions? These scientists think so
Tracking the behaviour of tagged animals from space could transform the research into a host of natural phenomena
