#InsideBiodiversity guest Emma Marris on ecosystem integrity:


“Typically integrity means how similar is the ecosystem to a reference ecosystem… either a historically defined system or a system that is just believed to have as little human influence as possible.”

🐘 As Earth cooled over the past 15 million years, mammals tended to grow larger. Prof. Susanne Fritz (@uni-jena.de & iDiv) explains how body size helped species, like elephants, survive colder climates. 🌡️📈 Subscribe: insidebiodiversity.podigee.io #InsideBiodiversity #WorldElephantDay

🎧 New episode of #InsideBiodiversity out now! Megafaunal extinctions — mammoths, giant sloths, woolly rhinos — all happened just 10K–50K years ago. Prof. Susanne Fritz (iDiv & @uni-jena.de) shares how climate & humans played a role — & why speciation may be ongoing. 🦣🌡️ insidebiodiversity.podigee.io
