Must read out in @science.org "Climate change extinctions" by @MarkCUrban (on X) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Big take home: "extinctions will accelerate rapidly if global temperatures exceed 1.5°C. The highest-emission scenario would threaten approximately one-third of species, globally."

To understand how climate change affects natural ecosystems we need to know how warming influences species interactions. In our newest paper we show that predator-prey interactions fundamentally change across latitude leading to context dependent effects of warming. 🧪 doi.org/10.1111/oik....

Even in midwinter, a changing year comes with plant phenology marking the season. The lemon-honey aroma of witch hazel flowers opening is a sensory signpost for me, and this year as in previous I'm grateful for the particular trees that scent and color Tower Grove Park's West Stream.

The northern hemisphere stopped its winter movement away from the sun on Saturday & yesterday moved a little towards it again, giving us a very few minutes more daylight & a few more just now at sunset. We're now moving very slowly towards spring, a seriously uplifting thought...

Oh this change in variation is really interesting; I wonder if it could be followed through to measures of biodiversity that differ based on organisms that are particularly sensitive in one season or another.
