Hello Bluesky. I'm here because Meta doesn't want me. Looking forward to post unfiltered, unhinged and un-whatever stuff here. Tell your friends!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

🌍 Just published a small Python script to help download Copernicus DEM tiles (30m) for any AOI using the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem.
Supports parallel downloads & simple setup.

🕒 TTRPG friends — I made a free app to track Progress Clocks for Blades in the Dark!
Create & manage multiple clocks with custom colors and segments.
Great for GMs running digital or hybrid games.

Our new paper in @ecosistemas-aeet.bsky.social shows that genetic data confirms the non-native status of Austropotamobius crayfish in Spain, despite repeatedly published claims of the contrary
Since it is in Spanish, we provide an English version in this link digital.csic.es/handle/10261...

What’s driving the change?
🚧 Dams & barriers
🌡️ Climate change
🏙️ Land use & invasives species
#Dams #ClimateChange #InvasiveSpecies
We propose a new Species Deviation Index (SDev) that captures both losses and gains of native species offering a clearer picture of riverine fish community change.
Sites with high deviation often align with human pressure points:
Rivers in Baden-Württemberg have seen a ~64% decline in #native #fish species richness compared to historical references.
Our new #OpenAccess study shows a 64% drop in #fish species richness in SW Germany’s #rivers vs. historical reference. Dams, climate shifts & invasives drive the change. We propose a new Species Deviation Index that captures gains & losses #Freshwater #Conservation link.springer.com/article/10.1...

An AI-generated illustration depicting climate research. A scientist analyzes a digital map with data on rivers, biodiversity hotspots, and agricultural zones, set against a diverse landscape with mountains and lowlands. The scene emphasizes sustainability, with clear skies, flowing water, and thriving ecosystems.

Can you add me please? I'm working with fish ecology in south Germany.

Close-up of researchers extracting the stomach contents from a cormorant to analyze its diet, focusing on the impact of predation on native fish species in Lake Constance
Today we sampled cormorant stomachs at Lake Constance to assess their impact on #native #fish species.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

If you hate statistics like I do, then you'll love my free lectures. Putting science before statistics, 20 lectures from basics of inference & causal modeling to multilevel models & dynamic state space models. It's all free, made with love and sympathy. 🧪 #stats www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Left the other place run by Trump's buddy? Here's a starter pack of freshwater scientists to get you started. Also, if you're a freshwater scientist and want to be added, let me know. Still space available.

Cheers!
I'm giving bluesky a new chance in the face of the latest event with the other platform.
