Join us! We are looking for a Ph.D. student to work on the response of ecological network structure to environmental drivers; this line of research can be adapted to questions on climate change, phylogenetic conservatism, and more! 🧪🌎 epic-biodiversity.org/opportunities/

Information about species interactions is very scarce! In a new preprint, @gabdans.bsky.social shows that the methodology that enables biodiversity monitoring and reporting also supports the detection of species interactions, leading to multi-use monitoring. epic-biodiversity.org/blog/2026/05...

I’m happy to share a new paper in which I contributed. In this study, we present new occurrence data documenting the coexistence between one of the most common canids in the region and one of the most rarely detected species — even in long-term camera-trap studies — the Short-eared Dog. #SCmas

New paper and blog post by the one and only @crcruzr.bsky.social - are socio-ecological indicators ready to provide guidance for concrete biodiversity action? epic-biodiversity.org/blog/2026/01... The answer is: partially, but there are all sorts of interesting lessons for the future. 🧪🌎

A new chapter of the Atlas of Colombia was released a month ago, such an exciting milestone! I had the privilege of contributing as an author, joining other researchers in developing updated distribution maps for Colombia’s carnivores 🐾. #Biomodelos #AtlasDeColombia #cienciacriolla #mammals #latam

At the launch of the new chapter of the Atlas of Mammals of Colombia 🌿📚, together with Helena Olaya, Felipe Suarez and Angélica Díaz.

Honoured to have contributed as an author, mapping Colombia’s carnivores!

Climate change may dramatically increase the range of raccoons and skunks in Québec. Good news? Nope. They are two reservoirs of the raccoon rabies virus. In a recent preprint, we discuss how this might play out over the next 80 years. 🧪🧵

Today I presented at #LivingData2025 / #DatosVivos2025. My research explores how people conducting socioecological studies use indicators and how those indicators are taken up in public policy. #GBIF #GeoBON #TDWG #InstitutoHumboldt 🧵1/3

#LivingData #DatosLivos is starting three days, and the lab (and friends) will be well represented. Here are some presentations you simply can't miss. 🧪🌎 On Oct 21, @crcruzr.bsky.social will tell you everything about socio-ecological indicators and what they don't yet do well. 🧵 (1/n)

Excited to have been part of the developer team! 🐾 Beyond providing access to the List of Mammals of Colombia, it helps map species records and validate coordinates against administrative boundaries. Looking forward to feedback & future updates! #science #MamíferosColombia #CienciaCriolla #SCMas

El avance científico y tecnológico crece exponencialmente, pero también las crisis ambientales, el crecimiento poblacional, entre otros. A su vez, las políticas cortoplacistas no logran adaptarse. ¿cómo propiciar un desarrollo inclusivo que reduzca el impacto ambiental? elpais.com/opinion/2025...
