Wow, Austria is also rather trashed...

In the #Anthropocene, humans are putting diverse pressures on #ecosystems and #cultures accelerating threat levels on both. Our preprint explores #hotspots of #biocultural #diversity threat and its drivers. Particularly large-scale historic socio-political events left long-lasting imprints.

Very excited to be part of this great project - @onestopproject.bsky.social - together with many old and new colleagues. To learn more (also about our sister project @guardias.bsky.social ) check out the joint press release. www.eurekalert.org/news-release... #bioinvasions

Krass.

🔥 Just out 🔥 our paper featuring a method to account for disequilibrium dynamics & time lags in species distribution model #SDM is published in Ecology Letters ⬇️ It outperforms traditional SDMs for 95% of the 92 European forest 🦅 species we tested @etiennelalechere.bsky.social shorturl.at/CVYPw

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

There is an idea that we can simply step away from degraded ecosystems & they will recover But truly biodiverse, resilient ecosystems are complex So, in degraded landscapes, we will often need to intervene to guide systems towards complexity besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Interested in adaptation pathways? Our new paper provides a rich overview and lessons of adaptive pathways applications. We find the approach : 🚀 helps to accelerate adaptation 💡 generates new ideas 🔎 identifies path-dependency, barriers, and opportunities. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Climate change refugia are places to which species can migrate as the climate changes. But there is more to anthropogenic effects than climate change, giving rise to the idea of global change refugia. Find out more in my recent paper in Nature Review Biodiversity 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

How do scientists think about the future - do they see collapse as inevitable now, do they think it can be delayed, or can it still be avoided through transformation? Facinating, timely research from Sam Finnerty and pals bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In our paper recently published in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social we discuss the fantastic opportunities that #Culturomics and #iEcology provide to study the human and social dimensions of #alienspecies #introductions ☺️ doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... @pavelpipek.bsky.social @ivanjaric.bsky.social

Biodiversity is incredibly complex, so how do we define a unit of nature? A biodiversity credit market could help fund nature recovery, but there are also risks of relying on offsetting. New review with @ejmilnergulland.bsky.social 👇 bit.ly/3Bp1Juz @biodivoxford.bsky.social

"[Using meta-analysis], we showed that there are overall negative impacts from invasive species on both biotic and abiotic characteristics of protected areas globally. Impacts were pervasive across population, community, and ecosystem scales" #bioinvasions www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
