Evidence that assessors use to assign extinction in animals and plants is very consistent. At least 155 EX, EW, and CR(flagged probably EX) species have had extinction probability models applied to them- nearly all concluded that the species is extinct sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A new study NatureEcoEvo led by Xiaojuan Liu shows: Plant diversity can affect ecosystem functioning directly and by affecting other trophic levels. Data was derived from subtropical forests at the BEF China experiment as well as temperate grasslands The Jena Experiment.

In the following thread, I look at what happened on one Dartmoor common a few years ago when @naturalengland tried to take action to ensure a taxpayer funded £1.4M agri-environment scheme delivered for nature. It’s a sorry tale, but it says a lot about Dartmoor …

En 1924, el diario «Región» de Asturias publicó esta pieza de René Hervouin imaginando cómo sería el cine (y la sociedad) 100 años después, es decir, en 2024. ¿Echamos un vistazo para ver cómo imaginaban nuestra vida nuestros bisabuelos?

An interesting article about how to reform Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs at American universities, but with relevance elsewhere. Instead of reinforcing predetermined identities, a pluralistic dialog about perspectives should be encouraged. nytimes.com/2024/08/30/opi…

Excellent thread on the challenges of implementing effective agri-environmental schemes for biodiversity on common land. 👇👇👇

In our new article in Nature Plants, led by Kun Guo and Wenyong Guo, we investigated Elton's naturalization hypothesis using a large dataset of Czech non-forest vegetation. This hypothesis states that species-rich communities are more resistant to invasion by alien species.

This is what happens when the emotional message trumps facts. No evidence for the widely cited statement that 80% of biodiversity is protected by indigenous communities. A bit of a scandal.

Henrique Pereira Was always wondering how this is or was measured. Even some of the most basic statistics (area coverage) does not cover most of the biodiversity hotspots (incompletely mapped), so having trouble to see how this can be true. geoportal.landportal.org/?map=5ddcfb9d2…

I have long been suspicious of the claim that Indigenous Peoples' lands support 80% of biodiversity. A new paper debunks this. IP lands are important for biodiversity - but this stat isn't substantiated. nature.com/articles/d4158…
