The global average number of chickens eaten per person continues to grow.
Line chart of per capita chicken meat supply per person per year from 1961 to 2023, showing a steady upward trend. The subtitle explains this measures the amount of meat available for consumption per person per year. The line starts at about 2 chickens per person in 1961, passes about 5 chickens by 1990, and reaches about 9 chickens by 2022 to 2023. X axis labeled with years from 1961 to 2023; y axis from 0 to 10 chickens. Annotated callouts note: "In 1961, 2 chickens per person were killed for meat globally," "By 1990, this had more than doubled to 5 chickens," and "By 2022, it had risen to 9 chickens." Data source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2025) CC BY.
Global chicken consumption per person has quadrupled since 1961—
In 1961, around two chickens were slaughtered per person globally each year. As many countries grew richer — and richer countries tend to eat more meat — global demand for chicken increased.

Some cattle don’t do well in the heat. A new genomic approach improves the accuracy of predicting heat tolerance in cattle by up to 11%, which could help farmers breed animals better adapted to rising global temperatures. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/HoVe50XAOfY

Job offer: PostDoc in “Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in European forests in the face of global changes” 80-100% (f/m/d)
The aim of the projects is to investigate the impact of global changes on temperate forests toward designing management plans that allows ecosystem resilience and high levels of biodiversity. Within these projects, you will develop standard and more efficient ecological monitoring methodologies to understand how different aspects of biodiversity and/or associated ecosystem processes, in particular deadwood decomposition, in forests are altered by global change factors such as climate change, disturbances, and management-induced structural changes at different spatial and temporal scales. Through this research, you will gain a better mechanistic understanding of these relationships as a basis for predicting future changes related to management decisions and climate change. To measure biodiversity, you will use cutting-edge DNA-based methods, such as e-DNA metabarcoding of fungi, from soil and dead wood, and detecting arthropods and mammals from vegetation surfaces. Data on biodiversity and forest functions will be analyzed in an interdisciplinary manner. Depending on your skills and expertise, you can focus on more technical aspects of biodiversity quantification using eDNA, fundamental ecological research questions on modelling ecosystem processes or the more applied design of management practices. You are expected to publish your findings in high-impact journals and present them at international conferences.
You hold a PhD degree in Biology or Environmental Sciences or in a related field and have a strong background forest ecology, in DNA-based biodiversity assessments (e-DNA metabarcoding), bioinformatics and multivariate statistical analyses, and/or experimental planning. Furthermore, we expect very good knowledge in R programming, a good command of English, as well as strong skills in scientific paper writing.
