Ep163: Ecosystem Engineers palaeocast.com/ecosystem-engi… What happens when the presence of a single species impacts everything in an environment? Dr Tom Smith of Oxford Earth Sciences joins us to discuss ecosystem engineers. #podcast #evolution #extinction #paleo #paleontology

Hello! I am one of the authors of the study! Henry absolutely got the essential points of the work perfectly summarized! Thank you for finding our work interesting and worthy of a video! : ) ❄️🇵🇹🐆

The Biological Station in Mertola (Portugal) of Paulo Alves ist almost ready to start. Probably in two month the students can start to study the unique nature. This week I had the Chance to visit the Paulo and Noemi Squillaci one of the First PhD students working in the Station.

Another paper by João Nascimento whose thesis aimed to answer how predator-prey interactions can shape diversification. Here we show that Antilocapridae has a complex diversification history shaped by environmental changes, competition and predation. doi.org/10.1093/evolut…

🦏🦣🦌 LARGE paper alert!!! We tracked 60 million years of large herbivore evolution—over 3,000 fossil species—to uncover how ecosystems have changed and reorganized through time. What we found might help us understand the next big tipping point 🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Grande o Afonso Barrocal a apresentar a nossa comunicação sobre a paleobiologia da conservação! #IVPaleoPT

Congrats, Alejandra!!! 🎉🎉

Finally, our paper about the #landscape of love of #brownbear couples in Sweden is out! We showed that females and males show distinct sex-specific #habitat preferences and that females might also show roam-to-mate behavior 🐻💜👇 doi.org/10.1007/s10980…
