👉 Investigadores descubren que los depredadores no son minoría.

El estudio de más de un millón de especies terrestres desafía la idea clásica de la pirámide de la biodiversidad. Nos lo cuenta uno de sus autores, @miguelbaraujo.bsky.social (@mncn-csic.bsky.social):
Más depredadores de lo esperado: la pirámide de la biodiversidad es más bien un cuadrado

In a recent paper @pnas.org, we found that the world’s oceans sort into six recurring “food-web types” shaped by temperature, productivity, and depth—functionally alike even when the species aren’t. A new baseline for tracking climate change. Check our video abstract: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAv2...
