🎙️🐦 How does passive acoustic monitoring compare with traditional bird surveys? Across the Alps, PAM detected ~2× as many species—but varied across habitats. Our study explores how the two approaches differ and complement each other. doi.org/10.1002/rse2... #Bioacoustics #BirdMonitoring #Biodiversity

Soil biodiversity effects on ecosystems
Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 12 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00123-zSoil biodiversity is poorly studied compared to aboveground biodiversity, but is an important driver of ecosystem functioning. This Review discusses advances in research into the relationships between soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, highlighting that integrative and causal study approaches will be needed to fill the gaps in our understanding.
