JOIN OUR TEAM! 🐙

We have 3 new science roles for species discovery. 👇

🧬 Molecular Biologist to start as soon as possible from 1 June
🔍 Taxonomist to start as soon as possible from 1 June
🔍 Taxonomist to start as soon as possible from 1 October

Join our team! We have a funded Blue Carbon Canada Postdoc position (bluecarboncanada.ca). The PDF will assess scenarios for Canada's blue carbon ecosystems under climate change (temp, SLR) & local stressors, co-supervised by me, OConnorLab, Sara Knox! Pls RT 🇨🇦🌡️🏙️🗾💻

We are pleased to announce an extended deadline for the call for papers on Harnessing the benefits of specimen digitisation. The new deadline is on 6 May:

We are particularly keen to receive submissions from African and Asian institutions. Kew Science

I will certainly miss Spain 🇪🇸, but I'm grateful for the incredible two years, the friends I've made, and everything I've learned with this amazing group. Thanks, #BioNCCE !

¡Voy a echar muchísimo de menos este grupo maravilloso! 🏝️

I am so happy for André Menegotto! A great researcher that will be able to continue his career in Europe. It will be sad to see him leave #BioNCCE , but he'll go on into continue doing amazing research on marine diversity
#ProudSupervisor

This is such great news! Really excited to have André Menegotto joining us soon Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Science at Sheffield to do fun things with massive marine biodiversity data!

I'm very happy to share that I've been awarded a #MSCA MarieSkłodowskaCurie PostDoctoral Fellowship to work at The University of Sheffield and Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales with the amazing Tom Webb and Joaquín Hortal.

🎉🤩🎉

If you want to retrieve suitability maps for individual marine species from AquaMaps using R, I fixed the bugs in the ‘nativerange’ function of the “raquamaps” R package.

#ibsprague2024 meeting is being so great, with many interesting talks and friends to meet and talk to, that it was difficult to find the moment to have a family photo. Here is part #BioNCCE (aka Biogeography, Nature Conservation & Community Ecology group)
Ecología UAM

Thrilled to share our results at this amazing event! Stay tuned for the publication, and let me know if you want to discuss further ideas around this topic.

Super excited for the The International Biogeography Society conference in Prague!

Joint Christmas celebration of the #BioNCCE group & Hortal's lab. Having such a wonderful group of amazing scientists as friends and coleagues is one of the best things about my job!

Check out our new preprint, in which we used an online survey and expert-based opinion to identify and discuss 50 fundamental questions related to meiofauna research

Olha só que belezinha o artigo que Milena Diniz e eu publicamos sobre o iNaturalist na Ciência Hoje das Crianças.

Um texto didático sobre a importância da #CiênciaCidadã e sobre como usar o iNaturalit para aprender sobre a nossa #Biodiversidade .

This week André Menegotto from BioNCCE group Ecología UAM organized a workshop on the basics of GIS using R. It was very useful, and André left us wanting to learn more about it
