🔵 Nuestro último estudio revela que el 74% de los lobos que mueren en Europa y Norteamérica lo hacen por causas humanas. En Europa es el 86%.

👉La caza (legal e ilegal) es la causa del 60% de las muertes de lobos. Esta cifra asciende al 70% en Europa.

Hoy nos hemos manifestado para pedir el fin del genocidio en Gaza.
Animamos a otros centros a contribuir con este tipo de acciones a incrementar la presión social sobre las instituciones y empresas que tienen capacidad para parar esta barbarie.

This resonates with me while trying to establish a CMR protocol for dung beetles! 🪲 The more you talk to people, the more they tell you it’s impossible for most insects because of extremely low recapture rates… but it’s one of those negative results everyone just buries! A sort of unspoken rule

I'd also like to highlight that the brilliant Eva Conquet just published a detail account of how one of the study species in this review, the dewy pine - seemingly adapted to land use change - is showing signs of maladaptation under climate change: doi.org/10.1111/1365... 🧪🌎

A new @nature.com study by @ethz.ch with IIASA, @climateanalytics.org, @ox.ac.uk & partners traces today’s extreme heat back to fossil fuel & cement industry emissions.

Mounting this amazing online database was no small feat, and I want to thank all our amazing co-authors, including @arpatoz.bsky.social We hope that it will be useful for others who want to be able to scale from individual responses to population dynamics under global change.

While such complex effects of climatic and biotic factors have been observed in individual studies, we make available data and code for 41 long-term studies to compare these effects across any single context. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

On the other hand, across the tree of life, density feedbacks do buffer populations under extreme climate! In other words, when individuals compete with each other, reductions in the number of competitors under stress benefits survival & reproduction of those remaining even if extremes persist.

This suggests that it is generally unlikely that, say, increases in rainfall may compensate higher temperatures.

Maria Paniw @paniw.bsky.social · 29d

Our new study shows that, for the three vastly different examples and 38 other species, the way how survival & reproduction respond to threats is also vastly different! But, overall, populations fluctuate strongly when several climatic variables change in tandem: doi.org/10.1093/pnas...

What do this👇 lovely plant, lemur, and petrel have in common? They have populations where individuals were monitored for decades - and now provide amazing resources to compare complex responses of populations to threats. So, go beyond “it’s context dependent” to find common patterns.

Comment out now in Nature Reviews Biodiversity where we argue that blocking renewable energy, esp wind and solar, for biodi reasons is unnecessary - we can manage any tradeoffs. And unchecked climate change is far, far worse! Don't let biodi become political football www.nature.com/articles/s44...
