We're leaving this account which started when Journal of Biogeography was led by academics not by a Wiley employee. To keep learning about biogeography, fair open access, #BetterPublishing follow PEEER at .@peeer295544 .

Swiss universities discontinued negotiations with Wiley. Unable to reach "a good agreement at a fair price" #BetterPublishing.

Update: Put Ecological Monographs @ESAMonographs on your list of society-owned biogeography journals: strong editorial board with disciplinary expertise (e.g. Barreto, Belmaker, Borregaard, Carmona, Hof, Leclerc, Lessard, . ) #BetterPublishing

Here's a list of society journals that carry biogeographic research, many are with academic publishers Let us know others that should be included #BetterPublishing @biogeography #ibsprague2024.

Lots of past JBI & DDI editors at the meeting who’ll be happy to answer any questions about #BetterPublishing and commitments to ask Wiley to make: (see section ‘A’ near bottom of page).

(4/4) To have your latest research from a society journal featured, or to make announcements about publishing or other news, see And tag @jbiogeography with your highlights in biogeography and #BetterPublishing.

(3/4) For more on our updated mission, repurposed social media, and how to get involved, read our blogpost at Be part of the change. Be part of a better future! #BetterPublishing.

(2/4) We’ll also keep up-to-date with initiatives to make publishing biogeographical research more equitable and sustainable. We are in an unprecedented time of exploitation, but also an unprecedented opportunity to effect positive change. #BetterPublishing.

(1/4) After a short hiatus, we’re delighted to be back online to support the biogeography community and #BetterPublishing. Our new mission: journaling about news in biogeography from any and all *society* owned journals publishing biogeographical research.

Tenerife lizards show a nuanced interplay between plasticity and local adaptation along extreme altitudes. Surprisingly, biochemical stress decreases in high-altitude lizards, revealing the complex responses of organisms to environmental challenges 🦎⛰.

How to detect and describe filters shaping island communities: a trait-based conceptual framework 🌸🏝.

Genetic diversity and historical range shifts of the common gartersnake in North America. Four distinct lineages were identified, suggesting a Pliocene origin and complex expansion patterns influenced by major rivers and climate changes.

Variation in macroinvertebrate biomass in Northern Italy's mountain regions are explained by basin-scale factors, mainly precipitation. Climatic factors control energy flow to higher trophic levels, impacting downstream areas and terrestrial ecosystems.

Alpine treelines in the NE USA are shifting upslope by 3 m/decade due to climate warming. 🌲 Get to know more about important insights on treeline demography & environmental factors here: #ClimateChange

Did the Azores Islands' landscape change before Portuguese colonization? To find out the answer, read Dr. Valentí Rull's recent Commentary piece🌴🏞️.

Functional island #biogeography explores how traits of organisms on islands are shaped. New framework highlights trait coordination's role, offering valuable eco-evolutionary insights. Do you want to know more? Read the perspective of Midolo et al.

The incredible endemic plant biodiversity of Taiwan. Recent land-bridge and overseas dispersal, coupled with unique factors, shaped this floral hotspot. 🌏🌱.
