Spatial Insurance of Distinct Ecological Functions
Communities can act as functional sources and sustain rare ecological roles across space. We reveal patterns of functional vulnerability for plants and birds

We are delighted to announce that @pimientoc.bsky.social will be giving this year's Darwin Day Lecture. Her talk on the causes and consequences of extinctions in the oceans will be held on 11 February in GKT1 from 4-5pm. This will be followed by cheese and wine in the Zoology Museum. All welcome.
Very proud of @kristinakocakova.bsky.social's work, just published OA in Proceedings B. We found new extinction events amongst sharks and rays and negative age-dependency, which was persistent through time, regardless of extinction intensity.... 🧵👇
The geology department at the University of Leicester, where myself and countless others did our palaeontology PhDs, is at serious risk of closure

Can't wait to the next CPEG&CPS in London in 2027! Just seeing this beautiful logo makes me excited. Mark your calendars! Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
In time for #FossilFriday, a new paper by Jansen Smith and many paleontologists (including me) on what questions the field may focus on in the coming decade

New paper is out 🔓!
We reconstructed the 145-myr diversity of sharks & rays using deep learning, unveiling hidden patterns:
- modern diversity levels by the Cretaceous 📈
- small decline in the K/Pg 🤏
- a peak in the Eocene 🌄
- a long-term decline towards the present �

The authors combine light intensity data with eddy covariance observations from 86 sites to show that artificial light at night increases ecosystem respiration and alters carbon exchange, with impacts...
