Climate Change Favors African Malaria Vector Mosquitoes Malaria is a deadly parasitic disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes. This study investigates occurrence patterns of malaria mosquito species to predict how climate change will affect their range ...

How will climate change affect malaria vectors? 🌍🦟
New study in @globalchangebio.bsky.social highlights the pressing need to update #malaria control efforts as changing environments alter where mosquitoes are found.

Phylogeny, systematics and evolution of mimicry patterns in Neotropical limenitidine butterflies The most comprehensive phylogeny for Adelpha reveals that it is not monophyletic, supporting the description of the new genus Adelphina for the alala-group. The rate of mimicry evolution increases t.....

The Amazon is one of Earth’s major climate stabilisers—we must protect the rainforest and its biodiversity The twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change have clear implications for human health and must be central to discussions at COP30, argue David Nogués-Bravo and Helena Alves-Pinto The acce...

Today we publish a new paper at The British Medical Journal on the links between biodiversity, climate and health in relation to the hashtag#COP30 in Brazil

Here we argue that climate resilience depends on nature—and both are vital for the health of people.

Ny rapport: Det er så godt som uundgåeligt, at verdens koralrev kollapser Ifølge en ny klimarapport er det nu 99 procent sikkert, at verdens koralrev kommer til at kollapse.

⚠️🪸 Det vil have enormt store konsekvenser for ikke bare biodiversiteten, men også for menneskeheden, fordi der er rigtig mange mennesker, der er afhængige af koralrev, siger prof. Katherine Richardson oven på udgivelsen af ny rapport: www.dr.dk/nyheder/vide...

Professor: Tab af biodiversitet er et folkesundhedsproblem – lad os behandle det som sådan Landene har forpligtet sig under FN’s konvention om biologisk mangfoldighed til at anerkende sammenhængen mellem biodiversitet og menneskers sundhed.

"Biodiversity loss is a public health problem – let's treat it as such"...this is the topic of a popular science article I just wrote for a Danish Media Outlet.

#FishADay Porichthys notatus Plainfin Midshipman. Northeast Pacific. Breed in shallow water on the coast. Males build nests, then "sing" by vibrating their swim bladders, calling in females to lay eggs. Males then care for the eggs until they hatch.
