🌐🌴 Current global hunting threat maps treat species as equally at risk everywhere in their range. We attempted to address this by combining where hunters actually go with which species are most likely to be targeted and least able to cope, for 6k+ trop. birds and 4k+ mammals: doi.org/10.32942/X24...

🏝️ Saviez-vous que 3/4 des extinctions récentes ont eu lieu sur des îles ? #FRB-Cesab #Rivage propose un cadre inédit pour évaluer cette vulnérabilité. Leur objectif : replacer les îles au cœur des priorités de conservation. 📌 bit.ly/4mrUBil @celinebellard.bsky.social @claramarino.bsky.social

ICYMI: New online! Drivers and solutions to Southeast Asia’s biodiversity crisis

🖨️ New preprint out ! We present the first global, high-resolution, spatiotemporal maps of hunting pressure across tropical forests 🦜🐒🌴. This long-standing blind spot in biodiversity threat mapping is now filled 😎: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

New paper out! We present a framework for quantifying the vulnerability of terrestrial insular biota to multiple threats. This is the first output of the #RIVAGE project, funded by @frbiodiv.bsky.social & brilliantly led by @celinebellard.bsky.social. peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10....

Our paper on 🐈 vs. 🐦 , an overview 🔐: Ever wonder how domestic cats choose their prey? We combined citizen science and machine learning to find out what makes birds attractive to cats. Small size, generalist habits, and large range put birds at higher risk! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I'm really happy to see that more and more articles on ecology are highlighting the fact that we really need to adopt more causal approaches or at least try !

🪱 Putting Earthworm conservation on the map! Check out the last publication of our #CESAB LANDWORM and IMPACT groups by @sylvaingrd.bsky.social et al. 👉 bit.ly/4ij7sTg 🔑 They are soil keystones & face global threats, demanding broad-scale, multifaceted diversity indicators for conservation. 🧪🌐🌍🦤

Our new article, published in @ecography.bsky.social, examines free-ranging domestic cat predation patterns on mainlands, focusing on how coevolutionary differences between continents might influence these patterns : nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
