📣 Output of a very cool collaboration just published!
Focusing on one dispersal function, such as seed dispersal or disease spread, in isolation will lead to an incomplete picture of the synergies and trade-offs between the many ecosystem functions that animal-mediated dispersal influences.
Uusi tutkimus @utu.fi #thermacell myrkystä: "Jo lyhyt altistuminen hyönteiskarkotteissa käytetylle myrkylle voi heikentää merkittävästi kimalaisten kykyä löytää takaisin pesälleen. Kimalaisten kyky suunnistaa takaisin pesälleen on koko yhdyskunnan elinehto."

It seems every week a new citation-based metric appears, claiming to fix a big problem with the old ones.
Our new preprint discusses how adding new metrics would only serve to exacerbate privilege gaps in academia - worsening existing biases and introducing new ones.

Metawebs and the Geography of Interactions
From Wallace to modern species distribution models, biodiversity science has become extraordinarily good at mapping life across the planet. However, a forest is not just trees, birds, fungi, and insects occupying the same coordinates on a map. It is…

❗Looking for suggestions ❗
I would like to find gape size (width) data for as many frugivorous mammal species as possible, do you know any good papers that collate such data?

We especially encourage nominations from conservationists from underrepresented backgrounds.
7. In the Anthropocene, almost all animals disperse both desirable and undesirable things at the same time. Yet, we tend to focus on forms individually. While animals may help in one way (e.g., adaptation to climate change), they may present challenges in others (e.g., accumulation of toxins).
Herbivory is a fundamental ecological process; treating it as harm (like recent work has suggested) misinforms conservation decisions about introduced herbivores.

From Wallace to modern species distribution models, biodiversity science has become extraordinarily good at mapping life across the planet. However, a forest is not just trees, birds, fungi, and insects occupying the same coordinates on a map. It is pollination, predation, competition, parasitism, decomposition, seed dispersal, scavenging, facilitation, and countless flows of energy and matter connecting organisms into functioning ecological systems…
Doubled-edged Dispersal!
In the Anthropocene, animals disperse a lot of things. From seeds and nutrients, to pathogens and invasives.
Our new paper discusses the need to balance trade-offs when both desirable and undesirable functions occur simultaneously
