Grasslands tend to be limited by both nutrient and water availability. Here, standardized field experiments show that the effects of nutrient addition on grassland biomass may cancel out the negative impact of drought, but the outcome depends on aridity www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Rêgo et al compare genomic and phenotypic changes between genetic backgrounds of seed beetles evolved at hot or cold temperatures, with results suggesting that genomic predictions may become difficult to implement as climates warm www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper out in @natecoevo.nature.com How can our future robot overlords help monitor biodiversity? What are the biggest hurdles to overcome? www.nature.com/articles/s41... @bristolbiosci.bsky.social

Drought is a growing issue in tropical rainforests. Here, the authors revisit a long-term rainfall manipulation experiment in the Amazon to show that tree mortality was followed by community-level adjustments to reduced precipitation www.nature.com/articles/s41...

By combining modelling and simulated data with empirical data from 76 grassland sites across 6 continents, Zhang et al show that the relative abundance of dominant species predicts species richness, while their absolute abundance predicts community biomass www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📣Career opportunity - work with us at Comms Earth!📣 We are looking for a talented editor with an eye for interesting science. Ideally you'll have climate science experience, but all fields are considered. Located in Berlin, Shanghai or Beijing, closing date 22 May. www.nature.com/naturecareer...

In honour of David Attenborough's 99th birthday, why not revisit our series of tv reviews of Blue Planet II way back in 2017 (that's nothing in Attenborough years...). The links to the individual posts are threaded below : communities.springernature.com/posts/circum...

Integrated spatial planning is used to identify where restoration, conservation and production across Europe could maximize benefits to species conservation and climate mitigation under changing needs for food, bioenergy and timber to 2030 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Moi et al. investigate the impact of land use, non-native species and climatic variables on the body size structure of fish communities and fishery-associated ecosystem services in the Upper Paraná Floodplain. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Lipshutz et al. perform phylogenetically controlled behavioural assays and analyse brain transcriptomes across five avian families, identifying convergent patterns of gene expression associated with aggression and nesting behaviour in obligate cavity-nesting birds www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New Q&A "Advocacy for disability in STEM" Alyssa Paparella talks about her experiences with promoting accessibility in academia through her work with @disabledinstem.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our study on the biodiversity impacts of agriculture in @natureecoevo.bsky.social rdcu.be/ekept Minimizing biodiversity loss requires a balance of expansion and intensification,while preserving unmodified land #Biodiversity #LandUse #ConservationScience @dleclere.bsky.social @tnewbold31.bsky.social

New Progress article 👇 Plastic waste in the environment can modify habitats and change the mating, feeding and dispersal behaviours of organisms. Haney & Rochman discuss the emerging understanding of the ecological and evolutionary consequences of these effects www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out our latest study, in @natureecoevo.bsky.social, where we applied size spectra to show community-level responses to human land-use & invasive fishes. Led by brilliant D. Moi, w/ @vssaito.bsky.social @drdanperkins.bsky.social @gqromero.bsky.social, et al. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are excited to share our new article just out in @natureecoevo.bsky.social 🎉 “Widespread lack of article accessibility policies among ecology and evolution journals” rdcu.be/ejFQH

Correspondence by V Resco De Dios & M Boer on forest monitoring in the EU argues that EU and governments in general should set data-quality requirements but not prescribe the scientific methods to obtain them: www.nature.com/articles/s41... SharedIt link: rdcu.be/ejET1

New Comment 👇 "Deep-pelagic ecosystems should be considered as social–ecological systems" www.nature.com/articles/s41... Eduardo & Bertrand argue that deep-pelagic ecosystems are critical for climate regulation and food security but have been overlooked in deep-sea research and conservation.

Data on beetle, bird, plant and mammal occupancy of woodland sites in UK agricultural landscapes demonstrate how contemporary spatial spillovers and legacies of past land use interact to affect species richness and community composition www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A series of recent investigative reports in the New York Times have criticized global panda breeding programmes. Here, Yang et al. clarify three misconceptions and argue that the reporting misrepresents the breeding programme and its conservation effects 🐼 rdcu.be/ei9aM

The loss of a dominant species in a community could have major impacts on ecosystem functioning. Here, a manipulative field experiment on ants shows that species functional redundancy mitigates multifunctionality declines due to suppression of dominant species www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A global-scale, long-term analysis of trends in post-fire biomass recovery finds that since 2001 forest recovery has been increasingly sensitive to fire severity www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great @nature.com editorial and @naturepodcast.bsky.social series referencing ongoing coverage in @natureecoevo.bsky.social of the taxonomic furore regarding eponyms www.nature.com/articles/d41... (Check out rdcu.be/eja4P for the most recent NEE piece following last year's IBC votes)

An assessment of existing coral restoration projects finds that accessibility drives the choice of restoration sites more than environmental and ecological factors, and most restored reefs have been or will soon be impacted by severe bleaching www.nature.com/articles/s41...
