Final days to register join us, the @linneansociety.bsky.social and our wonderful panelists for a discussion on how increasingly politicised media is affecting biodiversity conservation! Thursday, June 12 at 18:00 BST, Burlington House, London Register: tinyurl.com/e8e4p5zt

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - Rhett A. Butler] Long before “biodiversity hotspot” became a conservation cliché, Alwyn Howard Gentry was painstakingly mapping them — one vine, one tree, one tenth-hectare transect at a time.

Really excited to share this new article from the lab. We synthesize the profound importance of movement and connectivity for conservation and provide a vision for future policy and management. Let's work toward a well-connected planet for biodiversity and people: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This study projects shifts in climatic niches of 30 food crops under 1.5–4°C global warming and assess their impact on crop production and food crop diversity across global croplands, highlighting latitudinal differences in the adaptation potential of global food systems. 📑 doi.org/10.1038/s430...

Although many invertebrates and other less-charismatic groups are key for ecosystem service provision, they and their functions are rarely included in conservation strategies. Benoit Guénard, @achughes.bsky.social et al show how funding largely goes to charismatic rather than threatened species 🌐🧪🪲
