More amazing botanical discoveries in Peru. Rocio Rojas and colleagues describe new endemic Columnea species (Gesneriaceae). Together with recent discoveries, the number of Columnea species known in Peru increases to 36, concentrated in vulnerable Andean cloud forests. 10.3897/phytokeys.275.187262

Aviation is Europe's fastest-growing source of emissions, and as this new analysis from @transportenvironment.org shows, most of it is going completely unpriced. 🧵 1/4

A new species of the rare and spectacular forest liana genus Marcgravia has been discovered in the Peruvian Amazon - based on a collection made by Rodolfo Vasquez on the Rio Nanay near Iquitos, 46 years ago. abm.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/ab...

Science shows spending time in forests significantly reduces stress and anxiety. To save the forests is to save ourselves. Protect our green cathedrals. 🌲✨ #ClimateAction #MentalHealth

El Niño is emerging faster than expected, with a 2-in-3 chance of becoming a strong El Niño. The transition is expected to begin soon. www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/ana...

One frequently sees headlines that X is warming faster than the global average. That's true of nearly everywhere that humans live, but only because humans nearly all live on land. The process of global warming will generally warm land faster than the oceans.

The International Association for Plant Taxonomy mourns the passing of Dr. Peter H. Raven, whose extraordinary life transformed the Missouri Botanical Garden and helped shape botany as a truly global enterprise.

Biased sampling of Lauraceae, a family with over 3000 species, means its diversification history remains poorly understood despite its prevalence in the tropics. Here, plastome sequencing of 16 genera significantly improves our understanding, revealing divergent spatial patterns! 🌍🧪

Remembering Dr. Peter H. Raven 1936-2026. Peter Raven transformed the Missouri Botanical Garden into a world-leading centre for botany and dedicated his working life to science, conservation, and building vital tropical biodiversity research programmes. www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/peter-raven

O Cerrado abrange 2M km² e está cronicamente subprotegido. Apenas 30 espécies contribuem com metade de todas as árvores. Esta nova análise em @globalchangebio.bsky.social mostra como as mudanças climáticas e a perda de habitat ameaçam o futuro do Cerrado. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

¡Muchas felicidades a los autores!

El levantamiento andino y la biogeografía histórica de la familia de la nuez de Brasil. Lecythidaceae se diversificó durante el Mioceno. La mayoría de especies conservaron nichos en la selva de tierras bajas, pero varios linajes se desplazaron hacia los andes. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Climate change could make trees more vulnerable to natural enemies. Here the authors analyse forest damage caused by key pest species in N America in relation to climate, geography & biotic context, finding evidence that climate change tends to exacerbate pest damage 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

More new science from Brazil's vast Cerrado! Colleagues explore the mysterious “murundus”: mounds of termite nests and trees that dot tropical grassland floodplains. Area + habitat explain the diversity of these unique ecosystems, but not always. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The Cerrado biome spans 2M km2 and is chronically underprotected. Just 30 species contribute half of tree stems. New analysis supported by ForestPlots shows why the combination of climate change and habitat loss threatens them, and the future of the Cerrado. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Rehabilitation of the Dandelion! No other plant in the Netherlands attracts as many bee species: 107. In early spring, when nothing else is blooming, it is simply there. Meadow bird chicks that have just hatched depend on the insects that are drawn to dandelions. No dandelion, no insect, no chick.

A single tropical tree can create as much cooling as several air conditioners, and across forests can cool a whole region.

It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

This is all too real. These days, satire is just news but in teaser format.

Our paper is on the cover of @currentbiology.bsky.social : a strawberry poison frog with the most common color morph, living up to its common name 🍓. In this issue, we uncover the genetic basis of color variation in frogs from Bocas del Toro, where blue, green, yellow, orange, and red morphs occur

Congratulations ‪@bjenquist.bsky.social‬ for leading the amazing BIEN. Biodiversity science is immensely richer, more reliable and more integrated thanks to BIEN. This new paper shows how and why.

This exciting new paper assesses how to balance land use for conservation, agriculture, and renewable energy.

The future of Europe’s forest disturbance regimes– a thread. Tl, dr: Disturbances from wildfire, bark beetles & wind will continue to increase in the coming decades. Under unabated climate change disturbances could more than double by 2100. New paper out in @science.org doi.org/10.1126/scie...
