🐜 Recent study shows for the first time that the metabolic scaling of active ant colonies varies as a function of trophic level & worker polymorphism. Thus, the ecological divergence of metabolic scaling seen in unitary organisms occurs across levels of biological organisation👇

Great to see @charles-cunningham.bsky.social's paper out on the impacts of woodland connectivity on the presence of woodland species in the UK. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Although ecologists talk about connectivity being important to maintain, the evidence that this is true is weak. 1/

Hyvä hanke. Metsätiaisia voidaan tukea täsmällisin toimin, jotka eivät lainkaan haittaa metsien muuta käyttöä. Hyvä askel myös kohti laajempaa toimintaa monikäyttö- ja liiketalousmetsien monimuotoisuuden lisäämiseksi.
