In our new article led by Gabriele Midolo, published in Ecology Letters, we show that plant species richness in European plant communities generally decreased between the 1960s and 1980s. However, since the 1990s, this trend seems to have stopped or even reversed. dx.doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Some 4.3 million observations of butterflies show that 59 of 136 species have declined in abundance over the past three decades, while no species has increased in abundance. Butterfly declines undoubtedly have large ecological consequences. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This new paper documents a tenfold increase in research papers using community-collected iNaturalist data over just five years: tr.ee/89Ot3I According to the study, here are four key ways that iNaturalist data directly powers science 🧵⤵️

Our new paper in BioScience shows how iNaturalist data is powering research across the globe, with use growing 10x in 5 years and spanning 128 countries & 638 families of life. Paper: doi.org/10.1093/bios... @ifas.ufl.edu @inaturalist.bsky.social #Biodiversity #iNaturalist #OpenScience
