🌊Marine ecosystems have long been impacted by human activities, causing biodiversity losses
🐦How have coastal bird communities in Europe fared over the last seven decades?

El 44% de los investigadores en ecología han sufrido el efecto Gollum. Ese comportamiento territorial extremo que lleva a algunos a sentir que ciertos temas o ideas les pertenecen: "mi tesoro".
44% 🤔... Poco me parece.

⬆️To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of young natterjack toads consistently using insect nests as shelters

✨A small discovery with big implications for understanding their early survival

🐸Sometimes two toadlets even shared the same refuge

🛡️These insect holes may be essential shelters, protecting them from predators and extreme temperatures during their vulnerable first days on land

🐸Who knew tiny toads had such clever survival tricks?

📄A recent study in Spain uncovered a surprising behaviour in natterjack toadlets

🐝Toadlets were regularly found sheltering in small insect holes, especially during the hottest hours of the day

Happy to see our new paper in @globalchangebio.bsky.social, led by @canobarbacil.bsky.social, on long-term trends in coastal bird communities across 3 European seas. Bird abundance and diversity have increased over time, thanks to the role of protected areas. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

✨Coastal bird communities are showing signs of recovery, but continued and site-specific conservation actions are needed to sustain and strengthen these gains.

canobarbacil.bsky.social
Carlos Cano-Barbacil @canobarbacil.bsky.social · Nov 26
📉Despite positive overall trends, site-level variability is high. Some sites still show declines in species richness (4.5%), taxonomic diversity (5.2%), and abundance (13.3%).

canobarbacil.bsky.social
Carlos Cano-Barbacil @canobarbacil.bsky.social · Nov 26
🚫Recovery patterns weren’t uniform:
🔹 In the Western Mediterranean, gains occurred mainly between 1970–2000.
🔹 In the Baltic Sea, increases started around 1995—especially in wintering bird communities.

Carlos Cano-Barbacil @canobarbacil.bsky.social · Nov 26
📈Using 308 time series (1957–2024) across three European seas, we found overall increases in taxonomic richness (+1.7%/yr), taxonomic diversity (+1.4%), and abundance (+2.7%).

👍 From skill-based training to transdisciplinary collaboration, and fairer service expectations,we outline feasible mitigation strategies used worldwide.
⬆️ Modest cultural and structural shifts can help ecological research better achieve societal, environmental, and personal goals.

We identify three major areas where change is possible:
1. Rethinking research evaluation
2️. Strengthening training & mentorship
3️. Reducing and recognizing administrative tasks

👩‍🏫 Ecologists pursue societal, environmental, and personal goals.
🚫 But internal barriers, perverse incentives, and administrative overload often limit what they can truly achieve.

Why do so many ecologists share common feelings of disconnection between their research goals and real-world impact? 🌍

Our new article in #FE&E explores the constraints that limit ecological research and how we can mitigate them. 👇

Painful to see how our comprehensive, interdisciplinary review on the dangers of comparing biological #invasions to human migration was misinterpreted and decontextualized. We share the same vision, and urge for discussion rather than villainization.
