How can protected areas help birds cope with climate change? Our new study led by Leena Hintsanen shows that large protected areas are especially important for cold-dwelling species whose populations decline steeply in small protected areas 🐦❄️ Read the press release: www.helsinki.fi/en/news/rese...

Wildlife conservationists should never be at risk for protecting nature. We are deeply concerned by the detention of three conservationists in Iran. Conservationists around the world carry out essential work, often under dangerous circumstances. They need global solidarity & support, not detention.

7. In the Anthropocene, almost all animals disperse both desirable and undesirable things at the same time. Yet, we tend to focus on forms individually. While animals may help in one way (e.g., adaptation to climate change), they may present challenges in others (e.g., accumulation of toxins).

📣 Output of a very cool collaboration just published! Focusing on one dispersal function, such as seed dispersal or disease spread, in isolation will lead to an incomplete picture of the synergies and trade-offs between the many ecosystem functions that animal-mediated dispersal influences.

Metawebs and the Geography of Interactions
From Wallace to modern species distribution models, biodiversity science has become extraordinarily good at mapping life across the planet. However, a forest is not just trees, birds, fungi, and insects occupying the same coordinates on a map. It is pollination, predation, competition, parasitism, decomposition, seed dispersal, scavenging, facilitation, and countless flows of energy and matter connecting organisms into functioning ecological systems…
