Andres's latest paper on methods to quantify beta diversity 👇
Andrés BaselgaSong et al introduced a geometric measure intended to quantify beta diversity, called betavolume. I assessed its behaviour: 1) betavolume does not measure beta diversity or differentiation; 2) links to species interactions remain to be proven. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Beetle Bits: Prevención de picaduras de garrapata en muestreos de campoYouTube video by Biogeography Lab (BiBiCI-USC)youtu.beWe have developed a new methodological framework to measure biodiversity. We focus on the uniqueness (or singularity) of biological communities and apply it to the GBF 30x30 target.

Hemos creado un Grupo de Innovación Docente “Biodiversidad con R” en la @usc.gal. El objetivo es facilitar la iniciación en R al alumnado de Biología Ambiental, especialmente al interesado en los estudios de diversidad biológica. Y ya tenemos un par de videos! youtube.com/watch?v=XznC...

Happy #11F everyone! 🎉👩🔬 To celebrate, we’ve added a transcript of Carola’s talk on Maternity & Academia to our website—for those who prefer a quick read over a video. Check it out here, along with the video of her invited talk at WISE 2020 www.biogeography-usc.org/carola_wise.... @cretus.usc.gal
Reflections on Maternity,by Carola Gómez-Rodríguezwww.biogeography-usc.orgThe project of a huge pulp mill in Galicia (NW Iberian Peninsula) has raised important environmental and social concerns. #AltriNon For the first time (since we can remember), there has been a united front against this type of project from many University departments and faculties. The vote is in.

Hi BlueSky! We study large-scale biodiversity patterns, mostly of beetles 🪲. We also develop methods and maintain betapart, an R package for beta diversity partitioning and distance-decay. Here we explain why we are interested in Invertebrate Biogeography. youtu.be/eJD85pl-xlM?... #Macroecology
