Now that the holiday season is approaching, a few tips on great #boardgames related to #ecology, #biogeochemistry, and #climate. This is not a complete list but games I like playing myself - living among board game geeks.🧵 1/

Thrilled to present our latest BioRXiv on brain/body interactions during defensive freezing behaviour! (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). You might think that a frozen animal has, well, frozen muscle activity, right? Wrong! Underneath the still surface of a fly, something in the legs is beating… 🧵

Yep.
Globally, croplands have expanded by more than *100 million hectares* since the turn of the century, and gross expansion (mostly in the tropics) is more than twice that amount (218 Mha).
This, along with pasture expansion, is a major driver of tropical deforestation. 🧪

Unless and until credible product carbon labeling becomes a thing, if you are in the Americas or Europe, your best-bet ways to reduce the GHG impacts of your food and beverage purchases are 1) minimize the food you waste and 2) eat more plants and fewer animal proteins (especially beef and lamb).
Two Rules of Thumb to Slash the Environmental Impact of Your Diet
In a world that expects to welcome another 3 billion people to the middle class in the new few decades, eating more sustainably will be key. Two simple rules of thumb: eat fewer animal-based foods and...

*Don’t trade off #carbon for #biodiversity*
The scientific consensus is clear: we cannot address climate change by industrialising the biosphere. #Climate solutions must protect ecosystem integrity and support biodiversity, not compromise them for carbon gains.🌎 theconversation.com/the-climate-...

The climate and biodiversity crises are entwined, but we risk pitting one against the other
In our race to cool the planet, we must not compromise the ecosystems on which we depend.

The idea that this country was only great in theory is proof that generations have been willing to go along with an awful status quo in the name of self-interest. This is the conversation we need to have now.
