As a follow-up to our paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social- Expanding European Protected Areas in Through Rewilding-we provide an interactive visualisation tool enabling users to explore local opportunities for rewilding: www.maraujolab.eu/2026/03/09/s...
How general are aquatic food-web responses to climate change? You can't answer that from one site. New paper proposes PondNet, scaling up the IberianPond Network to a global experiment. @mncn-csic.bsky.social @mncn-bgcg.bsky.social

We are launching the Biodiversity Futures Working Groups. The call supports small, focused synthesis groups addressing frontier questions in biodiversity science. We welcome proposals from researchers at any career stage.
Deadline: 30 June 2026, 23:00 CET

In the opening session of the 2026 @sotm2026.bsky.social, I had the pleasure to deliver a keynote address exploring the opportunities to move beyond individual species modelling and to embrace the modelling of community dynamics, with a focus on the emergent properties of such systems. #sotm2026
Conservation requires looking beyond Red Lists alone. Across European food webs, non-threatened species play a strong role in maintaining network connectivity. With @fmestre.bsky.social @vinibastazini.bsky.social @consbiog.bsky.social @mncn-csic.bsky.social

Published in Frontiers of Biogeography, new study found that larger animals capture more energy per species in productive #ecosystems - but rising human pressure disproportionately shrinks their abundance, reshaping how energy flows through #ecological #communities. ⤵️

Les eaux atteignent en surface près de 0,5 °C de plus que la moyenne estimée entre 1993 et 2022, d’après les données du programme européen Copernicus.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long-term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear unde...
A global analysis of more than 12,000 bird and mammal species reveals that ecosystems do not share energy evenly across body sizes and human activities influence this.
