Trophic rewilding depends on the assumption that replacing lost megafauna with alternative species can generate similar benefits. This new review by Bescond-Michel et al. challenges that belief. 🌏🌐🧪
Harms of introduced large herbivores outweigh benefits to native biodiversity - Nature Communications
Using impact assessment frameworks, this study shows that the introduction of large mammalian herbivores outside their native range has predominantly caused negative impacts on native biodiversity globally. The authors advise caution regarding their further intentional introduction for conservation purposes.

Who said that biogeography is necessarily a correlative science? This is the way to do ecological experiments with a biogeographical perspective. Read this nice thread about a superb #functionalbiogeography work (spoiler: they find regional variations and habitat effects in antipredation traits)🧪🌐

Plants cool the land through evapotranspiration, but green foliage can absorb more heat than lighter surfaces, causing warming. A study finds that in the northern hemisphere, cooling outweighs warming until the end of the growing season. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Reading papers is a basic skill (and dare I say duty?) of scientists, and I include medical doctors in that group. Keeping abreast of the literature is a foundational part of our professions. There aren’t good shortcuts. In any case, reading papers regularly is fun.

Importantly, in Fig. 5 of the paper, you will notice that even when species elevational ranges remain static over time, when x=0 on the x-axis, then the flowering time still shows a very significant signal of advances in 🌸 time

Finally, we found that both phenological shifts & elevational ranges shifts are not mutually exclusive but can happen simultaneously, showing a weak negative correlation between 🌸 time changes & changes in elevational range size
