Thrilled to finally share my new paper in Environmental Research Letters on Colombia’s lowland peatlands — ecosystems that store vast amounts of carbon, were almost unknown, and are now newly mapped thanks to years of fieldwork. 🌍🌿

This synthesis in @nature.com covers 2,100 studies and compares biodiversity at 50,000 sites affected by humans with reference sites. Pollution and habitat changes reduce the number of species and affect the composition of communities.

The devastating impact of humans on biodiversity
Not only are the numbers of species declining, but the composition of species communities is also changing. This is shown by a new study published in the journal “Nature”.

Congratulations to Elena Gimmi on her thesis! Aphids have more bacterial “bodyguards” at higher ambient temperatures. Climate warming could therefore impair the use of parasitic wasps in biological pest control.
