Estou do lado do povo brasileiro. As manifestações de hoje demonstram que a população não quer a impunidade, nem a anistia. O Congresso Nacional deve se concentrar em medidas que tragam benefícios para o povo brasileiro.

PS: não sei o quanto essa rede ainda ecoa ciência...

Um pouco em cima da hora, mas tenho vagas para mestrado e doutorado no PPG-Biodiversidade da UFJF. Posso apoiar projetos individuais ou que tenham interesse em trabalhar com dados já coletados (filogenômica e filogeografia). www2.ufjf.br/ppgbiodiversid…

Also posted to #evol2025 app social feed, but in case anyone's looking on here, I'd like to give away a copy of my book to a non-U.S./Canada grad student, since I know it can be harder to get outside N.A. Respond here or on the app want it! I'll pick the recipient at random. 🎲

🧐 O Brasil é o maior consumidor mundial de agrotóxicos, com mais de 700 mil toneladas por ano. Neste #SerrapilheiraIndica, a pesquisadora @MiesLarissa compila dados que nos permitem compreender a gravidade do problema representado pelo uso massivo de herbicidas, pesticidas e fungicidas para a saúde humana e para o meio ambiente, uma consequência direta da globalização da agricultura. @EditoraElefante

Ok, if yesterday's excellent paper in Nature wasn't enough for @jeaggu, today he has a new worrying but significant study out in Science where we show that tropical forests in the Americas are changing too slowly to track climate change 🌳🌴🌲 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

One of the most importantly depressing pieces of research we have produced to date: birds in pristine central Amazonian forest are not doing well. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

📢 Exciting Opportunity! 🌟 We have an open postdoc position to work on comparative #Genomics of Neotropical 🐦 @LSU_MNS. For more info: thom-lab.org/join #LSU #Research #Science #AOS #postdoc #biodiversity #Genomics #Evolution #sciencejobs @RxivJob @jobRxiv

I am absolutely flattered to share our review at @NatRevBiodiv. Lead by Dr. @camila_c_ribas. A collaborative/interdisciplinary work where we integrated geological, climatic, ecological and genetic evidence for the region that hosts the largest biodiversity on Earth: the Amazon!

Os que entram em pânico com a isenção de IR até 5 mil por conta do custo fiscal são os mesmos que vão fazer de tudo pra não deixar passar a taxação mínima dos milionários… só que se o Congresso aprova os dois juntos, aumenta a receita conforme estudo do @made_usp

Vellozia is one of the most rich and abundant endemic genus in the Campos Rupestres in #Brazil. In this paper we investigated how past climate change helped to shape #Vellozia the present distribution of this iconic genus 👇🏽 doi.org/10.1093/botlin…

Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch.

My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/art…

AVOTREX is out: an open-access companion to AVONET containing morphological traits for ~600 extinct bird species and a phylogeny grafting these taxa onto the global bird tree to support future research on Anthropogenic extinctions. Hat-tip to many co-authors; led by @FerranSayol
