As deforestation in the Amazon falls, fresh evidence shows that the rainforest can withstand global warming, but only if there is a worldwide effort to stop cutting it down. go.nature.com/4edMYKy
The Amazon can be saved — with concerted action inside and outside Brazil

New publication @thermal-biology.bsky.social! We show that non-invasive thermal cameras can measure thoracic temperatures in wild bees in the field. New tool to ID potential heat stress under #climatechange. Congrats to undergrad Mei McFeely on publishing her thesis #microclimate #pollinators 🐝🎉🌻
🐝Check out this new study demonstrating how infrared thermography can be used as a non-invasive method for measuring the thoracic temperature of wild bumblebees and showing how body temperature relates to ambient air and floral surface temperatures.🌻 @inlewis.bsky.social 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.jt...
🌿 New paper! Using rare #mosses to resolve barriers in the use of species distribution #models for #climatechange vulnerability assessments. 🌦️ #Microclimate data improved predictions of vulnerability 🧭 We present a framework to connect modeling with #conservation practice 👉 doi.org/10.1111/csp2...
Using rare mosses to resolve barriers in the use of species distribution models for climate change vulnerability assessments
Species distribution models are useful for estimating species exposure to climate change, a primary component of climate change vulnerability assessments, but limitations including few occurrences an....

One week to go! I am recruiting a postdoc, call ends October 7 🍃🌿☘️ In ecology, University of Helsinki is the leading university in Finland and the Nordics and the fifth-best in Europe (ShangaiRanking's 2024). And for 8 years in a row, Finland is still the happiest country in the world :-)

well, here it is lads after combing through some 1,400 records, it looks like the slender-billed curlew is indeed extinct and the last known photo taken in 1995 was probably at the point it slipped beneath the waves 🦉🧪 www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...
