What was the composition of mammalian biomass on our planet in 1850? Our new study is now out in @natcomms.nature.com
1/ Wild mammals now comprise ≈5% of mammal biomass globally. How did this come to be? In our new study in @NatureComms, we estimate that in 1850, wild mammals comprised ≈50% of mammal biomass globally www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Decades of data show livestock intensification in the #MaasaiMara drives major wildlife declines - >70% drop in wild herbivores, #migration collapse & functional compression. See our analysis in PNAS: 🔗 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🐘🐄🐑🐐🦓🐄 #savanna #rangeland #edgeeffects #livestock #protectedareas

Is microbial production an economically viable path to replace our food systems? @milolabwis.bsky.social has the answers!
1/ We need new ways of producing foods and fuels to minimise our impact on our planet. Our new paper now in @natbiotech.nature.com examines whether microbes hold the key to producing foods and fuels in the future Open access: rdcu.be/eiIUu nature.com/articles/s41...
