New paper in @NatureEcoEvo led by @FlandrinU shows that while marine protected areas do indeed enhance ecosystem services, they only marginally offset the negative impacts of long-term human exploitation doi.org/10.1038/s415...

The interplay between climatic niche and spatial distribution can inform the management of non-native invasive species. Our findings reveal that the invasion risk for species with small geographic ranges may be greater than assumed. Read more (OA): doi.org/10.1016/j.ec... #bioinvasions 🌐🌏🧪

Studying 2,800 tropical reefs, the authors of this study show that marine protected areas have compensated for only a small portion of human impacts on fish contributions to people and nature, particularly in terms of biomass and biodiversity 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨New Paper ! 🚨 Glad to see my second thesis chapter finally published in @natecoevo.nature.com ! 🎉Marine protected areas marginally offset anthropogenic declines in tropical reef fish contributions to nature and people🎉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... @umontpellier.bsky.social

MPAs only partly offset decades of human impacts on tropical reefs Protecting more while continuing business as usual will just slow the decline 🐟📉 ! Check our latest paper in @natecoevo.nature.com with @uflandrin.bsky.social on 2800+ reefs & ~1700 🐠 species www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🌐🧪🌍🦤🦑

Excited to share our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com We synthesize causal discovery & inference approaches across traditions (regression adjustment, quasi-expts, SEMs, Granger causality, convergent cross-mapping, and more) into a unified workflow for ecologists. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am really excited to share our new paper, published today in Nature. We show that rising atmospheric CO2 is linked to decling nutrient availability in boreal forest, with implications for the future carbon sink. Kudos to lead author @kelleyrbassett.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The food chains on modern Caribbean coral reefs may have shortened by up to 70% compared with those on their prehistoric counterparts, according to research in Nature. The findings suggest that modern reefs could be increasingly vulnerable to external stressors and ecosystem collapse. 🌍 🧪
