Applied botany: last autumn I went to pick up berries of prunus spinosa…now I can taste my own home-made patxaran here in Denmark :-)

@harvard.edu motto is Veritas. No motto can be more adequate right now.

Spring at the marsh in Furesø. The Furesø lake is a vestige of the last Ice Age and deepest lake in Denmark

Romulus and Remus—the so-called “de-extinct” dire wolves—won’t fix the biodiversity crisis. CRISP can’t replace conservation. We need to tackle habitat loss, climate change, and other real drivers of extinction. Prevention, not reconstruction, is key

NEW PAPER: Some of us, led by @hernmoral.bsky.social, just published on the critically endangered regent honeyeater, which has plummeted from hundreds of thousands to fewer than 300 individuals in just a century.

The spokesperson for the Popular Party, has painted a "nightmare" in the countryside to justify the measure, stating that the they will "put an end to the fear of farmers and humble families of going to the health center or church and encountering a wolf"...I have no words

The Big North…how fortunate I feel to had the chance over the last few days to embrace it and enjoy it

Was great to be part of this study! Main finding: fast speciating mammal groups holds lower intra specific genetic diversity. Thanks Ana for leading us

There is a silent extinction happening—one that we cannot see with our own eyes. The genetic building blocks that sustain biodiversity are vanishing. In a recent interview with Kristeligt Dagblad, I explain how to prevent it

Klodens dyr og planter har et genetisk problem
Variationen af gener hos dyr og planter indskrænkes kraftigt. Det gør dem sårbare, men vi kan nå at vende udviklingen, siger professor

I had the chance to provide some insights on the on-going loss of genetic diversity. Give space to nature and connect habitats may be the best way to prevent genetic erosion

Wide range of Earth’s species are showing a decline in diversity
The loss of genetic variation means species may be less resilient to climate change and other stressors
