What was the composition of mammalian biomass on our planet in 1850? Our new study is now out in @natcomms.nature.com
1/ Wild mammals now comprise ≈5% of mammal biomass globally. How did this come to be? In our new study in @NatureComms, we estimate that in 1850, wild mammals comprised ≈50% of mammal biomass globally www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1/ Earth is teeming with life on the move, from whales crossing oceans to humans commuting to work. But how does the movement of animals compare to humanity's?
Our new study in @natecoevo.nature.com answers just that!

Decades of data show livestock intensification in the #MaasaiMara drives major wildlife declines - >70% drop in wild herbivores, #migration collapse & functional compression. See our analysis in PNAS:

Is microbial production an economically viable path to replace our food systems? @milolabwis.bsky.social has the answers!
1/ We need new ways of producing foods and fuels to minimise our impact on our planet. Our new paper now in
@natbiotech.nature.com examines whether microbes hold the key to producing foods and fuels in the future
