A multilocus phylogenetic analysis of Anostomidae supports three subfamilies, and revises taxonomy. The stydy reveals convergent mouth morphology evolution, and provides a framework for future research. doi.org/10.1590/1982-0… ni.bio.br/1982-0224-2024…

This is a fantastic independent postdoc opportunity in the University of Toronto EEB Department, no supervisor required – just a highly-motivated candidate with an innovative research program. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

🆕 in our Method section: Inspired by work showing "a community is more than the sum of its parts," a new geometry-based measure of beta diversity captures changes in species interactions 📄A geometric approach to beta diversity esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) isn't just a statistical method; it's a bridge connecting diverse research areas and industries by simplifying complex data. Let's take a quick tour through some of the fields where PCA makes a significant impact: Genetics & Genomics 🧬: -

O Pantanal enfrenta um cenário alarmante. Em 2024, foi o bioma com menor superfície de água no Brasil, totalizando apenas 366 mil hectares – uma redução de 61% em relação à média histórica.
