Do arthropods outweigh humanity? Our new paper, “The global biomass and number of terrestrial arthropods,” is out now Science Advances. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/environment/an…. #arthropods #insects #ecology #biomass #anthropocene

Do sheep, or other domesticated mammal species, outweigh all wild land mammals combined? Which fraction of the global weight of mammals is wild? Our journey into the global biomass of wild mammals is out PNASNews

Authors estimate the total biomass of all terrestrial wild mammals at 20 million metric tons. Large herbivores comprise the bulk of the mass. Wild marine mammals weigh in at approximately 40 million metric tons. In PNAS: ow.ly/uokK50N4A3I

The global biomass of mammals is unknown, despite their diversity and conservation status. A holistic view of wildlife can be gained by analyzing their absolute biomass and distribution across taxa and continents. In Phys: ow.ly/jqpL50NaUna In PNAS: ow.ly/jC4k50NaUn8

We, at the Weizmann Institute of Science, are ashamed of, and dismayed by the Israeli government, who is threatening to crush all the conditions for the existence of a healthy civil society, and to act contrary to the law and the court’s order. (1/6)
