The LIB urges #COP30 to put biodiversity at the core of climate policy.
Without healthy ecosystems, there are no nature-based solutions.
„Climate and species protection are two sides of the same coin.”

#LIBresearch: A new study introduces the Global Repository of Insect Traits (GRIT) — a worldwide initiative integrating insect trait data to make insects more understandable and comparable across ecosystems. → doi.org/10.1111/icad.70035 @cscherber.bsky.social

#LIBresearch: A new review explains that speciation doesn’t follow one universal pathway — instead, multiple interacting processes shape how new species emerge across environments and evolutionary contexts. → doi.org/10.1111/mec.... #speciation #evolution #biodiversity ©Adobe Stock, studio

#LIBresearch: A new global assessment shows that marine megafauna face very different levels of risk from at-sea human pressures: from drifting longlines to extreme temperature events. → doi.org/10.1111/cobi.70147 © Adobe Stock, Shutter2U #marineconservation #megafauna #biodiversity #oceans

During #AEWAMOP9, delegates paid tribute to the Slender-billed Curlew — declared extinct by IUCN. A specimen from the Museum Koenig Bonn (@leibnizlib.bsky.social) stood as a symbol of what we’ve lost, and what international cooperation can still save. More: t1p.de/b5c5r #Biodiversity #Conservation

⚠️🌍 On Thursay, 13 November, we might face a setback in the EU Parliament: Directives that oblige companies to protect human rights, the environment, and to engage in sustainability reporting could be watered down. Take action here to prevent this – every voice counts: greens.eu/dear-manfred

Hamburg’s Senator for Science, Maryam Blumenthal, visited the Museum of Nature Hamburg yesterday. 🌿 Today it’s official: the new Museum of Nature will be part of the #Elbtower – a major step for science and public engagement in Hamburg. @leibniz-gemeinschaft.de t1p.de/iqr9a #Biodiversität

#LIBresearch: Exciting to see this new paper out in Science — revealing how genetic architecture shapes the evolution of plumage coloration in wheatears! 🐦 Proud to see LIB researcher Alexander Suh among the contributors.

#Museum Was für tolle Nachrichten! Hier mehr dazu: www.ndr.de/kultur/natur...

#LIBresearch: Sometimes, species look identical on the outside—but have been evolving separately for millions of years. 🪲 A new LIB-led study shows that even when males and females disperse very differently, such cryptic species can be surprisingly old. → doi.org/10.1093/sysb...

#LIBresearch: Great to see this call to rethink the value of short-read sequencing for biodiversity research — still so much potential to explore! Proud to see LIB researchers among the co-authors. 🌿🧬 @lpodsiadlowski.bsky.social

#LIBresearch: Great to see the first paper from the global BugNet network out — setting the stage for large-scale insights into how invertebrates and pathogens shape ecosystems worldwide! 🪲 Proud to see LIB researchers among the contributors.
