What if conservation could respond before the crisis hits? In 2024, howler monkeys were falling dead from trees in Mexico. Our model had flagged that region before the crisis. We present the first global early warning system forecasting extreme heat exposure for biodiversity here rdcu.be/fm8ml

A global early warning system for predicting exposure of biodiversity to extreme heat
Nature Climate Change - The authors develop an early warning system to predict the risks of extreme temperatures for 30,585 vertebrates 1–9 months in advance. They identify species and...

Tree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes. Belen Fadrique leads our analysis in @natecoevo.nature.com w/ 400 plots + 40 years of RAINFOR records. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.

🧵1/ New paper out in @ecography.bsky.social ! 🌍🌳 We looked at temperate deciduous forests across North America, West Eurasia, and East Eurasia, three regions that share ancient roots but have been separated for millions of years. What does that long breakup mean for today’s biodiversity?

Without forward-looking models, biodiversity policy risks missing the road to recovery. Our new PNAS article calls for predictive tools and a World Biodiversity Research Programme to guide global action. 👉 doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #Biodiversity #Conservation #PredictiveModels #PNAS

🌍🌳 A new global study warns that many of the world’s tree species are under serious threat. It also identifies potential climate refugia — areas where trees could persist if protected, and calls for urgent conservation efforts. 🔗 Read the full article here: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Climate warming is not a recent phenomenon; it has had detectable impacts on plants for at least 134 years! The onset of phenological plant response to climate warming @newphyt.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🧪🌎🌿🌐🌳 🍁 #PlantBiology @cideinvestiga.bsky.social @csic.es
Phenology changes for the Japanese cherry tree (Prunus jamasakura) in Kyoto. Left: Day of the year of the flowering peak for the period between 812 and 2024. Right: Relation between March mean air temperature (°C) in Kyoto and the day of the year of the Japanese cherry tree peak flowering for the period between 1890 and 2024.

Key results of community dynamics in one of the fastest warming biomes. @nanitundra.bsky.social show no homogenization, no simple borealization and shrubs playing a major role. More here ⬇️

We sometimes do not feel prepared for being decisions influencers , yet we want science to be heard -> “Science’s big problem is not a loss of influence, not a loss of trust.” ⬇️
