🚨 Our study investigating the relationship between evolutionary age and range size across plants and animals is out in @natcomms.nature.com! Delighted to be part of this great project led by @adrianaalzate.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🌐📈⏳️🐐🐋🐦🦎🐸🐠🌴🏝

Evolutionary age correlates with range size across plants and animals - Nature Communications
Why are some species widespread while others are found only in small, isolated areas? This study shows that species with narrow ranges, and thus higher extinction risk, are often island-restricted, po...

A new @natcomms.nature.com study led by iDiv alumna @adrianaalzate.bsky.social @naturalis.bsky.social uncovered that across >26,000 species evolutionary age is positively linked to range size, except in marine mammals. #Biodiversity #Evolution #iDivResearch www.idiv.de/older-specie...

Older species tend to have large ranges – unless they live on islands
New Nature Communication publications sheds light on how ecological, evolutionary, and geographical processes can simultaneously shape species’ vulnerability to extinction.

Now brace for the bad news... Water is super warm here (29C, 84F) and there is a lot of bleaching, all the way down to the deep reefs. All of the fire corals (Millepora) that I saw were bleached, as well as about 20% of the critically endangered Elkhorn Coral (Acropora palmata).
