We have developed a new methodological framework to measure biodiversity.
We focus on the uniqueness (or singularity) of biological communities and apply it to the GBF 30x30 target.
If you only have 4:35 min, check the visual abstract to know a little bit more about it ☺️:

Evolutionary "hills" or "islands"? Very interesting new approach to measure the uniqueness of a biological community, with great potential use as baseline to identify high-value biodiversity sites at multiple scales.

Areas of high biodiversity value evidenced by the spatial scaling of phylogenetic uniqueness
This video summarizes the new framework we introduce to quantify and model phylogenetic uniqueness, and our main results for terrestrial vertebrates:

Phylogenetic endemism is best to maximise global phylogenetic diversity in the smallest area, and spatial scaling of phylogenetic uniqueness identifies globally distinct but regionally less unique sites (evolutionary hills), from highly irreplaceable sites even at small scales (evolutionary islands)

Por que a captura masiva de velutinas con trampas debe parar?
O uso indiscriminado de trampas contra a avespa asiática provoca a morte de milleiros de especies de insectos beneficiosos
🐝 A captura masiva da 'Vespa velutina' con trampas non selectivas mata tamén insectos polinizadores
⚠️ É urxente apostar por métodos de control sostibles
Así o explican investigadores da Universidade da Coruña neste artigo de @es.theconversation.com

Probably not the standard way of having fun at the beach, but I just had a lot of fun observing for the first time a new phylum (new for me, of course). The xenacoelomorph Symsagittifera roscoffensis. It has no digestive system, because it lives from its symbiotic algae (hence the green colour)

Leer a Gerald Durrell, o volver a ser un niño
El centenario del nacimiento del escritor y naturalista es una nueva ocasión para adentrarse en una obra indispensable, luminosa y adelantada a su tiempo
Hoy cumplo un sueño: he publicado en 'Babelia', y sobre mi escritor favorito, Gerald Durrell. Leer a Durrell en un mundo de guerras, fascistas, mentiras y aranceles es descubrir, sonreír, emocionarte y sorprenderte. Es, por un rato, volver a ser un niño

University Departments and Faculties of the three Universities in the region have formally endorsed the “Open Letter (Manifesto) Against Altri”, after holding official internal votes.
This extraordinary alignment represents a historic act of collective academic dissent.
