The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

The Amazon isn't just a rainforest. It's also the world's largest and most diverse freshwater ecosystem. More than 2,700 fish species are central to the basin's health, supporting forests, food webs and millions of livelihoods. Meet the Amazon's forgotten fishes. 🐟

It’s been almost 3 years since I won a public competition for a research position at CONICET, at the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences “Bernardino Rivadavia,” and the government stopped the hiring process due to scientific funding cuts. With me, other ~600 scientist are under the same situation.

Yesterday’s president Milei announcement is less about the Malvinas islands and more about making a distraction from the terrible reality Argentina is in.

Nos anuncian una erupción volcánica masiva capaz de comprometer la vida de medio planeta y la preocupación es cuántos miles de millones vamos a perder. El capitalismo nos ha vuelto inhumanos y miserables.

When I did my project about ponerine diet with stable isotopes, some Lepidopteras had a carnivore signal… i wonder back then if this was a mistake or not. Nice that this predatory lepidopterans are been discovered!

Many folks interested in ants recently credit AntsCanada and YouTube as inspiration… but decades ago for me and so many others it was Alex Wild and his website cataloging gorgeous insect ecology & behavior through macrophotography. Roberto Keller thanked @alexwild.bsky.social and I do too! #iussi26

Using Bayesian neural networks and evolutionary modelling, we show that trophallaxis evolved twice in ants: 130 million years ago when flowering plants became more abundant and ants began harvesting sugary liquids from plants and their insect partners, and again in others ~90 million years ago.
