Human-induced pressures threaten many species – & the combination of multiple can be even worse 🐢🐊

Invasive species & global trade can cause even worse impact when combined with other threats like habitat disturbance & climate change 👇

1/7 🔥🦎 Why now? Due to social media restrictions in Brazil last year (BSKY > X 👀), we couldn’t share this earlier. Thrilled to finally present our findings: Severe fire regimes DECREASE resilience in ectothermic populations. Resistance ≠ recovery. #FireEcology #Conservation

Severe fire regimes decrease resilience of ectothermic populations
With a long-term, individual-level data, researchers provide evidence for how disturbance regimes shape the life-history strategies and resilience of three lizard species. As predicted by theory, pop...

International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🧪
This image is a promotional and motivational message for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which is celebrated on February 11th. The phrase in Spanish, "Las mujeres ya no lloran, las mujeres calculan, investigan y descubren" (translated as "Women no longer cry; women calculate, investigate, and discover"), is a strong statement emphasizing the role of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) based on a liric from a Shakira's song.
