Sad to hear of the passing of Robert Ricklefs - a giant of Ecology who simultaneously pushed forward big ideas at multiple biological levels yet took time for detailed natural history .. McGill does a nice job summarizing his impressive contributions 🌐🧪 dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2026/06/11/r...
As deforestation in the Amazon falls, fresh evidence shows that the rainforest can withstand global warming, but only if there is a worldwide effort to stop cutting it down.

Robert Ricklefs, a giant of ecology, passed away on Sunday. It is hard to overstate the extensive impact Bob had on the field. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in the US,…

🪱How much do we know about soil diversity in Latin America?
A new review by @laumoreno.bsky.social found major knowledge gaps: research is concentrated in Brazil & tropical forests, while mesofauna, microfauna, & other ecosystem functions receive less attention. We need more regional collaborations!

Soil supports a large number of organisms that regulate multiple ecosystem functions globally. Nevertheless, research addressing soil fauna and ecosys…
Many biotic interactions occur via chemical compounds released in the environment. Here the authors review the field of chemical ecology & discuss the importance of investigating landscape-scale chemodiversity as an emergent, dynamic property of biological communities www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A new global map of phytoplankton nutrient stress reveals that ocean productivity is tightly linked to the supply of nutrients from the deep ocean.
As surface waters warm and stratify, nutrient stress is increasing, providing a physiological link to climate change.

Climate determines the plant characteristics that favor naturalization. In cold or dry regions, successful newcomers must be similar to native plants to survive. In hot and humid regions, distinctiveness makes new plants more competitive. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/Lnla50Z8VyU

How do social networks become adaptive? From self-organisation and phase transitions to cultural learning, social networks are shaped by feedback between individual interactions and collective dynamics. Check my new @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social paper www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Satellite, genomic, and hydrographic analyses reveal climate-driven shifts in phytoplankton nutrient stress across the ocean.
