New paper out @commsearth.bsky.social !
Depopulation and climate warming have driven recovery in six large terrestrial mammals in Japan. Over 40 years of range expansion has brought them ever closer to human‑dominated landscapes—posing urgent challenges for coexistence.

Agricultural abandonment and reduced snowfall in depopulated Japan over the past 40 years may have facilitated the expansion of the ranges of sika deer, wild boar, Japanese serow and macaque, Asiatic ...

🌳 How long do trees really live?
Our new study in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals that Japanese trees can have a potential lifespan of ~400 years, but most live only ~80 years. Huge congrats to first author Yuta Kobayashi for this fascinating work! 🎉

Climatic differences among habitats shape the balance between maximum lifespan and life expectancy in Japanese tree species - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Using Japanese forest census data, the authors define potential maximum lifespan and life expectancy for 53 tree species, finding that life expectancy is more sensitive to habitat-associated gradients...

The importance of mentoring at postdoctoral level is jumping out at me- would love to see more exploration of this. Lots to unpick. PhD students, think about these data. 🧪
The early-career success of academic researchers is better predicted by their publication record during their postdoctoral years than by where they obtained their PhD, according to a study of 45,572 academic careers worldwide. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
