@jby@ecoevo.socialNifty preprint with an experiment coevolving Brassica rapa with pollinating, herbivorous butterflies. With bumblebee co-pollinators or heat stress added, the plants evolved stronger anti-herbivore defense; with both bees and heat, they evolved... to attract butterflies?

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgDaily #AcWriMo: not as much writing as I wanted but completed first 1/4 of main paper, got final draft from colleague on 2nd, ok comments back from reviews on 3rd AND 4th & 5th paper a colleague is leading now out as preprint online. 🙌
And we found an obscure bug in the model code 🙄

@UP8@mastodon.socialYears ago I used to work on the fifth floor of Olin Library for Library Systems and the arXiv preprint server: it's all different inside now but here it is freshly fallen snow

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyAnother year in which we've been making the climate crisis worse faster. And the role of aviation continues to grow nastier: probably good for 1/6 of the increase this year, caused by a small minority of the global population.

@Dragofix@veganism.socialRecord fossil fuel emissions in 2025 despite renewables buildout, report says https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2025/12/record-fossil-fuel-emissions-in-2025-despite-renewables-buildout-report-says/
@tomkalei@machteburch.socialWe also wrote a "Snapshot of Modern Mathematics", a short article about the so-called "4-sample-theorem" for Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Gaussian Graphical Models.
We submitted it to MFO in Spring 2024 but sadly they have not yet dealt with it. We never put out a preprint, thinking this would have been a very short process. But it is not.
So here is the preprint now, exclusively posted on the Fediverse:

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgOff to GŸteborg University to discuss #Greenland ice sheet and #AMOC, including this brilliant piece of work by my @dmidk.bsky.social colleagues - currently in review but the preprint title says it all: Reversible AMOC but continuing Greenland ice sheet melt.
