Malay Archipelago biogeography just keeps getting more interesting. Great to work on such a cool project with such an amazing gang of scientists! @JakeEsselstyn @TomGiarla @mammalgutz @Faisal_AnwarAli @AnnaHiller92 and Am and Julius!
Bornean #mammal mystery solved! The Bornean Black #Shrew, previously only known from a single specimen, was found to belong to the newly described genus Palawanosorex, making it the second member of this genus, and the first from Borneo:

I enjoyed the well written 'In Memoriam' of E.O. Wilson written by Dan Simberloff that was published in @ASNAmNat today. 60+ years later, character displacement, the taxon cycle, and chemosensory ecology all have a huge impact on my research.

Just noticed @SolomonKurz added some more chapters to his amazing “Statistical Rethinking v2 with brms, ggplot, and the tidyverse”. This project is awesome beyond belief, and a resource I use almost every day. Thanks @SolomonKurz !!!

The article ultimately stresses the importance of continued collections of specimens along with tissues and data. Museum collections can act as a bridge between (perceived) disparate fields such as virology and ecology. Specimens and collaborations have never been so important.

Cool paper! It’s great to see all these common disparity metrics compared side by side. Looking forward to playing with the Shiny app!
Do you need help figuring out which disparity or dissimilarity metric to use? Ask moms and check out our new paper @Ecol_Evol with @marknputtick, @aemarcy and @WeisbeckerLab The paper is also #OpenAccess and #FullyReproducible!
