Unprecedented synthesis of >2000 studies led by @francoiskeck.bsky.social shows humans are not only shrinking species numbers—but reshaping entire communities across the planet.

We found pronounced, cyclic phenological trends in most groups: the communities diverged from spring to summer and then in fall gradually returned closer to the spring state.

We experimentally demonstrated how order of arrival and exposition duration of different leaf species 🍂 🍃 affect decomposition by amphipods 🦐 as a key aquatic ecosystem function.

➡️ Leaf litter fall 🍂 and processing in temperate streams is one of the most pervasive resource subsidies and ecosystem functions globally 🌍 .

Ecosystems are connected by resource flows, and ecosystem size can mediate their effects. But how does size mediate the effects of resource flows between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems—one of nature's most ubiquitous linkages?

From 270 eDNA samples across Shark Bay (🇦🇺), we identified 106 fish species and mapped their diversity with remote sensing — all non-invasively! 🌊🐠
