#OnlyOneEarth #ActNow #Defaunation "The loss of top predators disrupts food web complexities, triggering cascading effects across all levels of biodiversity. As a result, ecosystem services are reduced in defaunated landscapes." Published 📖 @currentbiology.bsky.social

A Century of Loss: Long-Term #DryWoodland Decline and Its Implications for India’s #Megafauna Our latest paper, along with @matthiasbaumann.bsky.social, @arashghoddousi.bsky.social, @tkuemmerle.bsky.social and others is now out! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Published 📖 🥳 In a new meta-analysis @mariusgrabow.bsky.social studied whether subtle infection, traditionally often considered as relatively benign, affect phenotypic and demographic traits. Using avian blood parasites, causing #avianmalaria as an example, we performed a systematic review 🧵

I am looking for a postdoc wanting to use functional genomics to understand why birds 🐦 struggle with climate warming in @erc.europa.eu project #HotLife. Ideal candidate is a molecular evolutionarybiologist. Join us at @biologylu.bsky.social. Details 👇 shorturl.at/wijEq Would appreciate a re-post!

Understanding how quickly diseases might spread in wildlife is important to control emerging diseases. Graham Smith and his team predict wildlife distribution & abundance, but have also developed the citizen science app iMammalia & a web platform for people to upload images from camera traps.

Excited to share our new paper on how empirical research can better support mechanistic models—through realistic, interdisciplinary data and by embracing complex, individual-level mechanisms.

NEW! 🎉 We need wildlife disease surveillance to predict epidemics, but data sharing is rare - we found that only 2-3% of studies share raw data. So, we spent three years developing a data standard and R package to help get wildlife disease data into FAIR repositories. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do you study wildlife disease? Don't just share your sequences - share your testing data! We've developed a minimum data standard and an R package to help you, and wrote a little how-to-share-data handbook for disease ecology and One Health surveillance projects 🦇🦟🦠🗺️🔢 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
