Cool:
"Package adapt 3 is available on CRAN and can be used to study the nature and stability of ecological interactions, the mechanics of natural selection and even speciation."

High-resolution quantitative stratigraphical study shows the heterogenous extinction responses of foraminifera, with benthics being struck hard and collapsing fast.

A very interesting article on the Bretskyan hierarchy mechanisms of the divergence in fishes:
"...gaps, such as the Sinaloan, Central American, and Galápagos breaks, consistently restricted gene flow"

Interesting case of recent human-modulated geodispersal which was enabled by the building and functioning of the Suez Canal. Interesting to think about this case as an analogue of ancient tectonic restructuring of seaways 👇

Interesting perspective on the interaction of pyrodiversity and the biodiversity. One more case showing the importance of the creative destruction and abiotic (here more of a blurred interactive 'bio-abiotic') factors in keeping biotic structure.

Great to see this hierarchical (Bretskyan hierarchy) approach to the scaling of marine biodiversity through seascapes. But why limit systemic dissection and set the outer scale to the 1 km (where the fun stuff begins)?

Cool study and talk at #Palass25 with significant ramifications for punctuated dynamics of clade diversification and the inference of macroevolutionary patterns from molecular data.

Does anybody know any articles exploring prey (mass) size vs. raptor (predatory bird) body size (mass) allometry? [with presented equations] I mean, across all predatory taxa, or at least covering the whole size range (excluding scavengers).
