New paper in Oikos! 🎉 Ecosystems are connected by resource flows, and ecosystem size can mediate their effects. But how does size mediate the effects of resource flows between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems—one of nature's most ubiquitous linkages?

1/3 Connectivity via resource flows 🍁 interacts with ecosystem size 📏 and disturbance 🔥 to affect meta-ecosystem function 🌲🌲🌲🌲 Out now as a preprint! 📑 www.authorea.com/doi/full/10....

Humans are driving biodiversity loss among all species across the planet, one of the most exhaustive global studies on the subject ever conducted finds. This is *us*, people: you + me. It's up to all of us to get into the fight for the natural world. 🌏 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Aquatic-terrestrial researchers coming together for the #systemlink seminar 🌊🌱 Amazing talks ranging from leaflitter, beavers, urbanisation, to ecosystem size effects. Thanks a lot for the amazing talks @vmoser.bsky.social, @kperrelet.bsky.social, @LukeIreland, @ema-giacomuzzo.bsky.social

‚Pesticides have negative effects on non-target organisms’ Relevant new paper by Wan et al. in Nature Communications „…synthesis shows that insecticides, fungicides and herbicides have broad-scale detrimental effects on all groups of non-target organisms tested.…“ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How does ecosystem size influence the connection among ecosystems? Next week I’ll be presenting at the BES annual meeting the poster “Ecosystem size tunes the effects of the spatial feedback between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems”. See you there 🥳
