Huge new work in the central Congo peatlands, showing that the peatlands began forming 42,000 years ago. Culmination of around 15 major expeditions over the past decade, and a huge effort by many people.

Seed dispersal disruption limits tropical forest regrowth | PNAS
Identifying linkages between biodiversity loss and climate change is required for
understanding the scope of these interconnected challenges and de...
Our new study shows how animal biodiversity loss is a climate problem: tropical forests recover far less carbon where seed dispersers have declined.
We’re not just losing forests – we’re losing their ability to regrow.
Reversing that trend could align biodiversity recovery with climate solutions.🧵

(A) Ecorregiones de Europa occidental, obtenidas del conjunto de datos RESOLVE Ecoregions (Ecoregions2017 ©Resolve; https://ecoregions.appspot.com/). El rectángulo negro incluye la ecorregión del estudio (en verde) y parte de otras ecorregiones. (B) Ecorregión del estudio. Los colores más oscuros representan mayores altitudes (≤2626 m). Los puntos rojos indican presencias registradas de especies invasoras (descargadas de diferentes bases de datos; ver el texto principal). Las imágenes de flores dentro de cada tipo de hábitat representan especies invasoras comunes (izquierda) y nativas (derecha) que ocurren en dichos hábitats. Los colores rojo y azul representan la fenología de la floración de las especies invasoras y nativas, respectivamente.
¿Sabías que las plantas #invasoras florecen más tarde y por más tiempo que las nativas? Un estudio con datos de @gbif.org e @inaturalist.bsky.social - @natusferaes.bsky.social así lo ha observado para el norte de la Península Ibérica:

Without vultures, carcasses are slow to rot and disease-carrying flies abound
“Absolutely disgusting, so grim, the worst fieldwork of my life, but also extremely rewarding in a very odd way,” said Julia Grootaers, describing her three months collecting data among rotting pig…
Researchers in Costa Rica found that pig carcasses decomposed twice as fast when vultures had access to them.
The absence of vultures led to a doubling of fly populations at carcass sites, which could affect human health, since these flies can carry diseases like botulism and anthrax.

About 50 000 wild species are used for food, energy, medicine, material & other purposes.
This includes many plants.
But often these plants are not sourced or used sustainably, which threatens #biodiversity.

“Mañana, la guerra terminará
Los líderes se estrecharán la mano
La anciana seguirá esperando a su hijo mártir
La chica esperará a su amado esposo
Y esos niños esperarán a su padre héroe
No sé quién vendió nuestra patria
Pero vi quién pagó el precio”
