¿Por qué la región entre Zamora, León y Ourense arde tanto?
No, no es para construir aerogeneradores, ni por ninguna de las teorías conspiranoicas que estamos leyendo. La explicación es más compleja… y menos cómoda para quienes buscan respuestas simples. 1/13

Northern Argentina (Chaco) is considered to have sustained a high richness of megafauna in the Pleistocene (www.nature.com/articles/s41...), now extinct. Consequently, many plants developed defenses that are still evident (anachronisms)

Climate warming is not a recent phenomenon; it has had detectable impacts on plants for at least 134 years!

Pollinator decline has captured global attention, but another plant-animal mutualism is quietly unraveling.

Our new Nature Reviews Biodiversity article synthesizes global evidence on seed disperser decline and what it means for plant biodiversity, ecosystem recovery, and climate adaptation. 🧵
Drivers and impacts of global seed disperser decline
Nature Reviews Biodiversity - Many plants rely on animals to disperse their seeds, but some groups of these seed-dispersing animals are facing severe declines. This Review summarizes evidence of...
