Since 2014, the planet has been warming by about 0.36°C per decade, according to an analysis of five temperature datasets, raising fears that climate tipping points could be crossed earlier than expected
I’ve just finished this in the past week, but this is easily the best online course/series of lectures I’ve done. I’d tried it in a prior year and fallen on the wayside a bit, and I found the 2026 version with the split beginner/intermediate lectures much more approachable. Would recommend!!
🌐🌴 Current global hunting threat maps treat species as equally at risk everywhere in their range. We attempted to address this by combining where hunters actually go with which species are most likely to be targeted and least able to cope, for 6k+ trop. birds and 4k+ mammals: doi.org/10.32942/X24...
A new paper using data from the Living Planet Database (LPD) has been published in @science.org examining how threats are driving global vertebrate population declines.
This work highlights the value of the LPD’s threat data for understanding biodiversity change at a global scale 🌍.

New paper out examining fish food web degradation in the Anthropocene. We show the structure of aquatic food webs are changing-- even when species richness doesn’t. These signals are strongly associated with decreases in body size within fish communities. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🌐🐠🐡🦈🐟

The decrease in body size driven by the selective species turnover is widely altering fish food web topology and function.

Global vertebrate populations decline faster in the presence of multiple threats compared to single threats.

Los llaman los "arquitectos de los ecosistemas marinos" porque sus arrecifes sirven de cobijo a muchísimas especies. También duermen de noche como los humanos.
