Imposible una mejor manera de acabar el año 2023: la @AgEInves me ha concedido un proyecto de consolidación investigadora para estudiar patrones de conectividad y adaptación en invertebrados marinos de profundidad en el @mncn_csic

12/11/25 Junto a @SEBBM_es y @JaneGoodallEspa celebraremos la mesa redonda 'La huella de #JaneGoodall'. Nos acompañará Rebeca Atencia, veterinaria y directora del Instituto Jane Goodall en el Congo y una de las colaboradoras cercanas a la primatóloga británica. AFORO COMPLETO.

HILO 🧵🤔¿Sabéis qué son las esponjas patata? No, no son las que tenéis en la ducha, sino esponjas que forman campos en el fondo marino. Una suerte de bosques que dan cobijo a otras especies de invertebrados y peces 🐟de interés comercial. 📷Paco Cárdenas👇mncn.csic.es/es/Comunicaci%C…

¡Estimad@s doctorand@s ❣️ 🗓️ El 29 de noviembre tendrá lugar la VI Jornada para predoctorales del CSIC, que organizamos junto a la @RedDocs_CSIC. 🗣️ Charlas y talleres prácticos de 9:30 a 17:30 ¡Inscríbete! 👉 eventos.corp.csic.es/event/1… ➕ información en: jornadadoctorandos.csic.es/

I´m excited to announce that we have a venue and dates for the next International Congress on Invertebrate Morphology (ICIM-6)! All invertebrate lovers, let's meet in 🇨🇱 next year from August 10th to 14th. 👇👇

Who reviewed this paper? A few days ago @gcabanac tweeted about a paper that had published a remark that it had been forced to cite irrelevant papers. You can see the tweet here: buff.ly/3UMIguf. We remarked that if it was not so serious, it would be funny. Since reading that tweet, we have not been able to get it out of our head, so we thught that we would document it in a little more detail. We are doing this for three reasons. 1️⃣ In our view, it descerves more detail to be made available. 2️⃣ We'd like these details to be be kept as a matter of public record, so we are posting similar posts on our X account and our LinkedIn account. 3️⃣ It should be of interest to this community, so we hope that this raises even further the ethical issues around this topic. The first image shows the paper that we are looking at. What is interesting is the text that appears on at the end of the introduction (highlighted in red). This appears to show that the reviewer insisted that a set of 13 papers be cited, else they would not accept the paper. It would be interesting to see the review repport, so that we could be certain what had been said. If you want to see the paper, it is available here: buff.ly/4fndXm0 In the rest of this 🧵, we show the papers that have been asked to be cited (i.e. [35]-[47]). These have been taken from the paper mentioned above. You'll notice (as we have highlighted it) that every paper is "et al." meaning, of course, that there are quite a few authors on each paper. Gicven that we cannot see all the authors, the other images on this 🧵 shows the full set of authors on each of these 13 papers. We leave it an an exercise for the reader to hazard a guess as to the reviewr is?

Ayer despedí a mi primo Pepe. Podría decirse que el barranco del Poio se lo llevó, aunque realmente solo se movió lo justo para caer de la cama en la que estaba postrado desde hacía un par de años.

Amazing week @HcmrImbbc in Heraklion 🇬🇷 for our midterm meeting! So many interesting results underway to inform public policies for conservation of sponge biodiversity. 🙌to our hosts @sonathd @VGerovasileiou #BiodivProtect @BiodiversaPlus #SpongeThursday

🚨 NEW PAPER ALERT! 🚨 Exploring genomic adaptation to natural CO2 gradients over microgeographic scales! 🌊🧬 Insightful findings on resilience and evolution in marine life—link below! @sciencedirect 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Anoche estuve en @LaCasaEncendida debatiendo sobre #lightpollution en el ciclo de #PAJAREROS de @SEO_BirdLife, mientras el ayuntamiento de @MADRID hacía las pruebas de un destrozo ecológico en @Madrid_Rio >80 científicos han firmado en contra de iluminar el #Manzanares

We are very pleased to have had Thomas Schmidt (@CIEMAT_OPI) at today’s Andres Barbosa Polar Seminar in @mncn_csic. He shared incredible insights into the power of remote sensing technologies for identifying geoindicators in Antarctica

This story started 5y ago with my lab. Spearheaded by fearless 1st authors @theopi and Olivia Leland. Theopi is now a PhD student at @BrownUniversity. Olivia is a physics PhD student at @BrandeisU, a self-taught biologist, and made us love soft matter. A (very long) thread (1/24)

The MCZ was awarded a new digitization grant and we have two new positions to fill! We are looking for curatorial assistants (one full-time, one part-time) to rehouse and digitize our invertebrate microscope slide collections. bit.ly/48dxQJJ and bit.ly/48dwqy

Comienzan las temporadas de pesca de anguilas y angulas y, por increíble que parezca, hay que recordar que no hay explotación sostenible de una especie al borde de la extinción y aun en declive Hay que dejar de pescar, vender, cocinar y comer anguila. Del todo y ya Hilo (1/7)
