🏝️ #BioMonI (#BiodivMon) offers a comprehensive dataset of over 6500 plant species across 844 Australian islands. Open-access resource, updated continuously! doi.org/10.1111/jvs.70…

🌊 Coastal fishers' resilience linked to local knowledge. #EASMO (#BiodivClim) interviewed 99 Chilean fishers and shows diverse responses to marine resource declines, with local knowledge enabling diversification and strengthening adaptation. doi.org/10.5751/ES-158…

🌡️ Northern peatlands as carbon sink? #ReVersal (#BiodivRestore) shows that warming increases microbial photosynthesis, potentially offsetting ~14% of projected CO₂ emissions by 2100 under high-emission scenarios. doi.org/10.1038/s41558…

🦟 DiMoC (#BiodivHealth) study in Camargue, France, shows Culex pipiens mosquitoes prefer feeding on Passeriformes, like pigeons & sparrows, along a land-use gradient. Key birds may drive West Nile & Usutu virus spread. doi.org/10.1111/mve.12…

🐾 In Slovenia, hunters help monitor Eurasian lynx, aiding conservation. #BigPicture (#BiodivMon) shows their collaboration with wildlife managers doubled lynx density and confirmed first reproduction in 150+ years. doi.org/10.1002/wlb3.0…

🐦 #RemoveDisease (#BiodivRestore) shows how genomic introgression among three southern skua species helped them adapt to harsh Antarctic conditions. This gene flow might be key to surviving climate change. doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

🍓 #OBServ (#BiodivScen) highlights the potential of wild Patagonian strawberries. Though smaller, they’re richer in antioxidants and beneficial compounds than cultivated ones. Insights into domestication and future breeding. doi.org/10.1007/s44187…

💧 Temporary freshwater ponds are crucial for species dispersal and biodiversity. In Madrid, #ResPond (#BiodivRestore) finds seasonality, pond depth, and connectivity to permanent ponds drive macroinvertebrate assemblages. doi.org/10.1080/204420…

🌿 Geospatial tools like Depth to Water Index (DTW) can guide peatland rewetting in agriculture, aiding climate and biodiversity goals. In Finland, #PRINCESS (#BiodivClim) identified 135,000 ha of peat soils for rewetting. doi.org/10.1016/j.jenv…

🪸 #RESTORESEAS (#BiodivRestore) reports 1st local extinction of coral Phyllogorgia dilatata on Trindade Island. Models predict 63% habitat loss by 2100 due to climate change, with shifts in temperature, oxygen, & salinity. Urgent need for protected areas! doi.org/10.1016/j.marp…

🌾 #MICROSERVICES (#BiodivClim) shows drought boosts soil EPS—protective sugars & proteins—early in wheat growth, but biodynamic soils divert more rhizodeposits and mucilage to microbial biomass over EPS, hinting at better drought buffering. doi.org/10.1007/s00374…

The 2025 #HorizonEU calls for proposals on green research worth €948.9 million are open! Join the Info Days on 20-21 May & learn how to unlock EU funding for projects on: 🍎 Food ♻️ Bioeconomy 🌊Natural resources 🌽 Agriculture 🌍 Environment More 👉europa.eu/!bHUYQP

❄️ Alpine glaciers are retreating, impacting plant biodiversity and ecosystem services. #PrioritIce (#BiodivProtect) shows this causes up to a 7x decrease in plant contributions to air quality, soil health, and nutrient regulation. doi.org/10.1002/pei3.7…

🛣️ #ASICS (#BiodivClim) shows roads disrupt mountain ecosystems, altering soil, vegetation, and fungal communities. They favour generalist fungi and reduce plant-fungal network complexity by 66-95%. doi.org/10.1111/mec.17…

🧽 #SponBIODIV (#BiodivProtect) finds sponge reproduction may be influenced by microbiomes. Early oocyte development in some species aligns with microbial shifts linked to nutrition and immunity. doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…

🐟 Rhodolith beds off Brazil's coast boost fish density, biomass & richness, key for marine ecosystems. But #RESTORESEAS (#BiodivRestore) data from Costa das Algas Marine Protected Area shows threats from mining & trawling, calling for stronger protection. doi.org/10.1007/s41208…

🌾 #FunProd (#BiodivHealth) finds high-intensity farming raises yields but harms biodiversity. Bees boost rape pollination & yields, but predator-driven pest control is less clear. Ecological intensification needs tailored approaches. doi.org/10.1007/s10980…

🌊 Rock sponges in the Eastern Mediterranean provide crucial deep-sea habitats. With the increasing anthropogenic impacts in deep waters, #SponBIODIV (#BiodivProtect) highlights the urgent need for further mapping, monitoring, and conservation efforts. doi.org/10.1007/s12526…
