New study on arthropod declines @natecoevo.nature.com 🪲
In two time series @jena-experiment.bsky.social & @bexplo.bsky.social we show how community (dis)assembly underpins local biomass declines.
It mostly boils down to species loss, with identity losing relevance.

🌲 Common #biodiversity metrics may miss key signals of change. By partitioning #betadiversity into species loss and turnover, this study from #Sweden shows how #habitatdegradation drives biotic homogenisation across spatial scales.

New paper on assessments of habitat diversity ("Naturvärdesbedömningar") as predictors of red-listed species!
Main results show that these assessments have some merit - but are taxon-dependent and that red-listed species indicate overall high species richness.

Habitat diversity as a taxon-dependent tool for predicting red-listed forest species
Habitat features associated with species niches are commonly used as biodiversity proxies. Such proxies usually describe habitat diversity and have se…

New online! Biodiversity–ecosystem function research must consider abundance and not just diversity
Biodiversity–ecosystem function research must consider abundance and not just diversity
Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 11 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00040-1Maintaining human well-being in an era of biodiversity loss requires understanding the role of biodiversity in ecosystem function. We argue that absolute abundance can drive ecosystem function and that this measure should be considered alongside traditional measures of biodiversity.

A well-executed study from the Swedish colleagues on the relationship between forest structure and soil fungal diversity. 60 soil cores from each of the 74 sites — what a dataset!
Can you see the forest for the fungi?

*New paper* Denialism campaigns are growing in attempts to discredit science, scientists, and the scientific process generally. Biodiversity loss denial is a new phenomenon that needs our attention.
