Human transformation of past terrestrial ecosystems - Nature Reviews Biodiversity
Human actions have shaped ecosystems for thousands of years, and have profound effects on biodiversity and environmental processes. This Review explores the ways that humans have modified past ecosystems and the methods available for researchers to study these changes, as well as indicating how understanding historic change can inform conservation strategies.

Happy publication day to Melissa Leach & James Fairhead for 'Naturekind'! It introduces a new paradigm for human & nonhuman communication from @princetonupress.bsky.social

Innovative & provocative, as reviewer @erleellis.bsky.social says,"nature is talking, & people need to listen"

Do not forget that the Anthropocene epoch proposal was soundly rejected by geologists- for good reasons… theconversation.com/the-anthropo...
The Anthropocene is not an epoch − but the age of humans is most definitely underway
Scientists have been debating the start of the Anthropocene Epoch for 15 years. I was part of those discussions, and I agree with the vote rejecting it.

Trophic rewilding depends on the assumption that replacing lost megafauna with alternative species can generate similar benefits. This new review by Bescond-Michel et al. challenges that belief. 🌏🌐🧪
Harms of introduced large herbivores outweigh benefits to native biodiversity - Nature Communications
Using impact assessment frameworks, this study shows that the introduction of large mammalian herbivores outside their native range has predominantly caused negative impacts on native biodiversity globally. The authors advise caution regarding their further intentional introduction for conservation purposes.
