Important study from Gonçalves-Souza et al:

- Finds that fragmented landscapes have both lower α and γ diversity.

- Refutes claims that fragmentation can increase biodiversity in the landscape.

- Emphasizes the need to restore habitat and increase connectivity.

Species turnover does not rescue biodiversity in fragmented landscapes - Nature
An analysis of habitat fragmentation using a dataset of more than 4,000 species worldwide shows that fragmentation reduces biodiversity at all scales, and that increases in β diversity do not compensa...

Importante estudio de Gonçalves-Souza et al:

▪️Muestra que los paisajes fragmentados tienen menor diversidad alfa y gamma
▪️Descarta que la fragmentación aumente la biodiversidad a escala paisaje
▪️Enfatiza la necesidad de restaurar hábitat e incrementar la conectividad

🌲 The SafeNet project kicks off—in dreamy Tuusula, Helsinki!🌲

We are building a network to safeguard forests, starting with a thread (literally) to show how we are all connected.

Because protecting trees starts with loving them, frostbite and all! ❄️🌍

The loss of megafauna over the last 50,000 years has caused ecological theories to be based on already-degraded ecosystems.

India has "75% of the world’s tigers, despite having just 18% of the global tiger habitat".
From less than 1,500 tigers in 2006 to 3,682 currently. Nearly 50% inhabiting human multiple-use habitats, home to 60m people.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.
