- 👇 an interesting thread on this study, led by @jameststroud.bsky.social and emerged after long discussions about the limits of morphological performance in lizards with @jblosos.bsky.social. A beautiful example of how natural history observations generate relevant debates in evolutionary biology.
- Why are we not talking more about this? We are witnessing how the most diverse ecosystems on Earth are collapsing. Knock, knock, hello... humanity? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

- Urbanization enhances biodiversity loss. Yet sometimes cities may *paradoxically* shelter species threatened by other components of global change We studied if urban areas are sheltering an endangered iconic lizard 🦎 from a rapidly spreading predator 🐍 in Ibiza👇 📸G. Casbas doi.org/10.1016/j.ge...
- Endemic Ibiza wall lizards once thrived island-wide 🏝️. But since the accidental arrival of the invasive horseshoe whip snake in 2003 via imported olive trees, lizard populations are being rapidly extirpated. Could urban areas be their last stronghold?

- I guess all I can offer to our beloved American colleagues: do reach out to your European colleagues if you want to informally chat about potential research job opportunities. We are deeply sorry about the surreal havoc you are experiencing right now. @creaf.cat www.nature.com/articles/d41...

- IMHO, given the international political havoc and the attacks on the US science system, the EU had a chance to be smart—investing in an ambitious plan to attract international talent to our R&D system. Instead, we fell into the trap and chose to buy more weapons. www.politico.eu/article/ursu...
