"Too many kids in school get the notion that science is deductive, and deductive science is almost never creative. Real ideas arrive via intuition, via guesswork, and we’re guessing all the time."

- Roy Glauber, who was awarded the 2005 physics prize for his contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence.

🌱 Common issue in coexistence studies: ecologists often ignore spatial environmental heterogeneity when fitting neighborhood competition models even though it influences species interactions. Ignoring spatial heterogeneity biases estimates of competition & leads to incorrect predictions of competitive exclusion instead of species coexistence.

💡 : Zoonotic diseases (those that spread between animals and humans) are on the rise across Africa?

To respond, Africa CDC and the African Union have launched the Zoonotic Disease Prevention and Control Strategy (2025–2029): a bold plan to help reduce illness and death, strengthen health systems, and prevent the next outbreak before it starts.

Bryophyte spore seasons are shifting! Using 35 years of airborne eDNA from Kiruna, Sweden, we found that many taxa now disperse spores up to 6 weeks earlier. Warmer autumns may trigger earlier maturation the following season🧬❄️ 🌍

🏔️ One-third of alpine plant species have significantly expanded their distribution, while about 13% experienced range declines since the ‘90s. Expanding species were typically characterized by high colonization ability, rapid growth, and tolerance to higher temperatures. Despite a weak overall phylogenetic signal, winners or losers were disproportionately represented in some families and genera🌱
