In our new article led by Gabriele Midolo, published in Ecology Letters, we show that plant species richness in European plant communities generally decreased between the 1960s and 1980s. However, since the 1990s, this trend seems to have stopped or even reversed.

Trophic rewilding depends on the assumption that replacing lost megafauna with alternative species can generate similar benefits. This new review by Bescond-Michel et al. challenges that belief. 🌏🌐🧪
Harms of introduced large herbivores outweigh benefits to native biodiversity - Nature Communications
Using impact assessment frameworks, this study shows that the introduction of large mammalian herbivores outside their native range has predominantly caused negative impacts on native biodiversity globally. The authors advise caution regarding their further intentional introduction for conservation purposes.

Plants cool the land through evapotranspiration, but green foliage can absorb more heat than lighter surfaces, causing warming. A study finds that in the northern hemisphere, cooling outweighs warming until the end of the growing season. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Who said that biogeography is necessarily a correlative science? This is the way to do ecological experiments with a biogeographical perspective. Read this nice thread about a superb #functionalbiogeography work (spoiler: they find regional variations and habitat effects in antipredation traits)🧪🌐

Nativeness cannot be binary, if is to make sense and be practically applicable at the scale of countries.
We propose a graduated definition, in which species native to neighbouring territories are considered "near-native"

Sounds like a conspiration against Hedonism !!
Beer drinkers were 44% more attractive to mosquitoes than people who had abstained for at least 12 hours, cannabis users were 35% more attractive, and those who had slept with someone else the night before were 46% more attractive, new research finds. https://scim.ag/3Vk5rMw

Reading papers is a basic skill (and dare I say duty?) of scientists, and I include medical doctors in that group. Keeping abreast of the literature is a foundational part of our professions. There aren’t good shortcuts. In any case, reading papers regularly is fun.
