We just published a new global bird phylogeny. It synthesizes the work of thousands of researchers before us, and it will grow and improve over time. @snacktavish.bsky.social @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

We have global crises for biodiversity, climate, water, food and health

So it is good to see this new IPBES report on how they need to be tackled together, and the threat of cascading and compounding of impacts
