Tatsuya Amano has shown that just reading the English literature misses 35% of the science, yet this is rarely included in syntheses or global assessments. The problem is much greater in many biodiverse areas. He is determined to change this. youtu.be/ky0TAnMOlfA?...

Applying a nonparametric causal discovery approach to a 30-year time series containing annual abundances of benthic invertebrates across 66 locations in New Zealand rivers, we found a strong negative causal relationship between species gains and losses directly driven by predation.
