¿Sabías que los proyectos de becarios generan réditos de >US$500M anuales que nadie conoce ni mide? Mary Valdés, presidenta de SICh, explica en El Mercurio por qué urge medir bien la retribución y dejar de ignorar las propuestas de la comunidad.

Long overdue, but the main results of my metacommunity experiment are finally out! Different aspects of spatial network structure shape ecological dynamics at different scales—connectivity boosts biomass overall, but locally it can do the opposite. 🔬🧫🌐
