IMO paying close attention to species and simply describing what they do is a worthwhile endeavor unto itself. Guessing I am not alone. #iamabotanist #iamanaturalist #PUI #biodiversity onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

‘Biodiversity is not declining’ is a claim you may have heard. But science says otherwise. 📉 The @ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment reveals 1 million plant & animal species are at risk of extinction. Misinformation clouds the crisis. Rely on trusted research to understand our shared challenges. 🌍🧪
A split-screen image. The left side shows a rhinoceros mother and calf in a savanna landscape with scattered trees. The right side depicts a forest fire scene with orange flames and silhouetted trees against a dark sky.
Text reads:
"Biodiversity is in crisis" followed by:
"1 million plant and animal species risk extinction
Ecosystems are collapsing
Misinformation slows progress." 
"Trust the science.
Conserve, restore and sustainably use biodiversity."

It's official! All thesis chapters are individually citable! (One still needs to go through peer-review though 😅) Dealing with systematic errors arising from missing data, this is fresh off the press: doi.org/10.1093/sysb... Psst, we also have a new comprehensive caecilian phylogeny! 1/4 🧵
