Over twenty years of publications in Ecology: Over-contribution of women reveals a new dimension of gender bias.

Biographical features like social and economic status, ethnicity, sexuality, care roles, and gender unfairly disadvantage individuals within academia. Authorship patterns should reflect the social dimension behind the publishing process and co-authorship dynamics. To detect potential gender biases in the authorship of papers and examine the extent of women's contribution in terms of the substantial volume of scientific production in Ecology, we surveyed papers from the top-ranked journal Ecology from 1999 to 2021.

Towards a dynamic analysis of weighted networks in biogeography.

An improvement to the Network Analysis Method (NAM) in Biogeography based on weighted inference and dynamic exploration of sympatry networks is proposed. Intricate distributions of species result in a reticulated structure of spatial associations. Species are geographically connected through sympatry links forming an overall natural network in biogeography.
