Our new paper shows good establishment of wetland plants after seed dispersal inside waterfowl, but plants grow better when seeds are first removed from the faeces (e.g. when poo falls into water) #endozoochory @ebdonana @sibecol @BSBIbotany academic.oup.com/aob/advance-ar…

Esta animación de la NASA rastrea anomalías globales de la temperatura del aire entre 1964 y 2024, comparadas con el promedio de 1951-1980. Con el tiempo, la distribución de estas anomalías no sólo cambia a la derecha, sino que se ensancha, mostrando tanto el calentamiento persistente como el aumento de las temperaturas extremas. Para 2024, el año más cálido registrado, las temperaturas globales promediaban 1,3°C más altas que la media del periodo de referencia. Estas tendencias no son sólo números, sino que son huellas dactilares de la huella humana.

Black-headed gulls feed at waste-water treatment plants, hotspots for antibiotic-resistance. Our paper shows how different individuals from the same colony have favoured WWTPs, then spread #AMR into different anthropogenic habitats #Pairwise @ebdonana link.springer.com/10.1007/s11356…

I am now on BlueSky as @drandygreen.bsky.social and will be leaving X (formerly a much more enjoyable thing called Twitter) in the not-too-distant future. Amongst other things, I am tired of being notified about horrible posts by highly aggressive people unknown to me
