Katherine Richardson og kolleger advarer i nyt studie mod de store havstrømmes kollaps. Og taler for hurtige adfærdsændringer og cirkulær økonomi

Earth’s climate is now departing from the stable conditions that supported human civilization for millennia. Crossing critical temperature thresholds may trigger self-reinforcing feedbacks and tipping dynamics that amplify warming and destabilize distant Earth system components. Uncertain tipping thresholds make precaution essential, as crossing them could commit the planet to a hothouse trajectory with long-lasting and potentially irreversible consequences.

Ny rapport fra IPBES advarer om, at biodiveristetstab truer erhvervslivets fremtid. Rapporten bør være et stort »wake-up call«, lyder det fra Danmarks repræsentant i IPBES.

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 27 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00126-wScientists disagree about area-based conservation’s role in addressing biodiversity loss. This Perspective examines how conservation scientists, land systems scientists and political ecologists approach these debates differently and argues that environmental data justice frameworks can bridge epistemic divides, helping researchers to develop more effective and equitable conservation interventions.

If we fail to curb climate change, malaria mosquitoes could significantly expand their habitats across Africa, exposing hundreds of millions of people to a higher risk of infection.

Malaria is a deadly parasitic disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes. This study investigates occurrence patterns of malaria mosquito species to predict how climate change will affect their range ...

The most comprehensive phylogeny for Adelpha reveals that it is not monophyletic, supporting the description of the new genus Adelphina for the alala-group. The rate of mimicry evolution increases t.....

The twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change have clear implications for human health and must be central to discussions at COP30, argue David Nogués-Bravo and Helena Alves-Pinto The acce...

Background Over the last decade, a paradigm shift has been initiated in the field of nature management and conservation with shifting the focus from traditional, more static conservation efforts to dy...
