Review: The influence of social cues on timing of animal migrations rdcu.be/cYd2J

Will Oestreich et al. outline a framework for understanding the roles of different cues across temporal scales, and how these match with ecosystem dynamics.

How do social cues influence the timing of animal migrations? Can social migrations enable adaptation to rapid env change? Our review in NatureEcoEvo explores these questions, linking collective behavior, global change biology, & migration ecology. tinyurl.com/mr3e949e

.nature has published a special issue on racism in science, the first guest-edited issue in the journal’s more than 150-year history. Read the editorial from guest editors Melissa Nobles, Chad Womack, Ambroise Wonkam and Elizabeth Wathuti. go.nature.com/3CQtclz

In the midst of what is going on in Iran, it is hard to talk about cheetahs.
Still, you can read our opinion piece on NatureEcoEvo about concerns on current plan to introduce Southern African cheetahs to India and how it can be improved. Thuo Arjun Gopalaswamy Femke Broekhuis

Check out our new article in NatureEcoEvo where Angela Moles and I discuss how we should harness the power of citizen science to make bigger and better ecological discoveries 🗺️🌱

The paper was also nicely summarized by Angela Moles and Zoe Xirocostas here:

I am very happy for Sophie Wolf! Her first PhD paper was just published NatureEcoEvo where she combined iNaturalist #CitizenScience data and try-db.org to generate global maps of #planttraits and compared them to sPlot - iDiv nature.com/articles/s4155…

Why might Europeans spot familiar plants elsewhere in the world?

The very first colonisers imported plants to ensure they had food. Later, for aesthetic or nostalgic reasons.

Long after an empire has fallen apart, its legacy on plant life remains bit.ly/3Tg1GF7

I am excited to share our new NatureEcoEvo paper that uses iNaturalist citizen science observations to map plant functional traits on a global scale!
