Consider a 5 min break to close your eyes, and immerse yourself in some tropical forest soundscapes to decide which sounds best to you, the #Biodiful research team at @ethz.ch would be hugely grateful for your opinion and anonymous participation: www.biodiful.org#/soundscapes...

🚨New paper by @annaroennfeldt.bsky.social et al. on climatic niche differences across island regions. Their paper shows plants introduced to the Pacific Islands showed the lowest ratio of niche conservatism. rdcu.be/eYKAq A great start to the new year! 🥳 @zurelllab.bsky.social

A new study in @nature.com shows that abrupt changes to Antarctica’s currents, ice and glaciers are already underway – and likely to significantly intensify in the future, with global impacts for generations to come.🧪🌏 Read more in @theconversation.com

From sea ice to ocean currents, Antarctica is now undergoing abrupt changes – and we’ll all feel them
The vast ice of Antarctica has long seemed impregnable. But sudden changes are arriving – from shrinking sea ice to melting ice sheets and slowing ocean currents.

I am happy to share this poster will be displayed at the upcoming Kingston University ECE PGR Conference 2025! I'd love your feedback, comments and questions 🌍 #KUECEPGRConference2025 #PhDchat #SciComm @kingstonuniversity.bsky.social
A colourful poster titled "Triple threats to tropical biodiversity: predicting the impact of future climate change, disease and deforestation on vulnerable species range dynamics with RangeShiftR"; with five sub-headers with text sections including: 1) Background, 2) Aim, 3) Methods, 4) Results and 5) Discussion. There are five figures, figure 1 is a map of Madagascar, figure 2 is a conceptual diagram of the RangeShiftR modelling framework, figure 3 is a conceptual diagram of model scenario combinations, figure 4 are maps of Madagascar showing habitat suitability of the focal tree and its wilt pathogen, and figure 5 shows a lambda graph describing population growth rates over a 100-year simulation. At the bottom of the poster are references, acknowledgements and credits.

"Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift." - Robin Wall Kimmerer
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants is a 2013 nonfiction book by Potawatomi professor Robin Wall Kimmerer, about the role of Indigenous knowledge as an alternative or complementary approach to Western mainstream scientific methodologies.
