Home to some of the world's richest marine biodiversity, Raja Ampat remains vulnerable to nickel mining. Though Indonesia revoked several permits following public backlash, state-owned PT Gag Nikel continues operations and multiple firms still seek mining rights in the region.

Mining threat persists in Raja Ampat, Indonesia’s ‘Amazon of the Seas’

JAKARTA — Raja Ampat, one of the world’s most biodiverse marine regions, remains under pressure from Indonesia’s expanding nickel industry as three companies continue to seek permission to develop…

Humans changed islands, not just holiday destinations, but home to 10% of humans, including us here 🇬🇧. What is the ecology of islands today, and how are island organisms adapting? Neatly summarised by @ferransayol.bsky.social, our new paper lead by Tom Matthews on the 'Anthropocene' on islands.

New paper out! 🖨️ Glad to be part of this study, out in Science Advances: "Emergent patterns of island biodiversity in the Anthropocene" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Much of what looks natural in island biodiversity is a legacy of human impacts going back millennia. See main findings 👇🧵 (1/8)

New paper: Using a large meta-analysis, we show that plant diversity shapes multitrophic interactions differently in croplands vs. natural ecosystems - strengthening top-down pest control in crops, but bottom-up effects in grasslands and forests. Amazing collaboration with large international team

Plant diversity modifies multi-trophic interactions in croplands, grasslands and forests

Plant diversity differentially affects trophic interactions across ecosystems.

Emergent patterns of island biodiversity in the Anthropocene

Human impacts substantially affect our ability to detect and understand natural biodiversity patterns.

(Theme 5) State-and-transition diagrams can express what we think about possible future ecosystem dynamics in a form useful for public debate and for focusing on the most important uncertainties. (And there are lots of uncertainties.)

@westobymark.bsky.social · 3w ago

(Theme 4) Some ecosystems are strongly influenced by particular invasive species, so if gene technologies can be developed to suppress them, that can open up new options.

(Theme 3) If livestock grazing comes to be replaced by cell culture milk and meat, there will be new land use opportunities over wide areas.

@westobymark.bsky.social · 3w ago

(Theme 2) Present-day temperature envelopes may be completely displaced from present-day distributions for many foundation species. Mechanisms setting species boundaries are not well understood, and it remains unclear whether to migrate species geographically, and which species.

(Theme 1) More frequent extreme fire weather likely to produce shorter intervals between hot fires, making some veg types that need long intervals hard to sustain.

How can we predict ecosystems that don't exist yet? Our new paper led by @westobymark.bsky.social in @ausjbotany.bsky.social uses state-and-transition models to explore how ecosystems could change by 2100 under warming, rising CO₂, altered fire regimes, reduced livestock and new gene technologies.

Scenarios for ecosystems in the year 2100

By the year 2100, Australian ecosystems may experience changes including livestock grazing replaced by cell culture milk and meat, new genetic technologies

July's Funk Seminar will be given by Dr. Mark Costello! In both terrestrial and marine systems, the latitudinal biodiversity gradient appears bimodal, peaking in mid-latitudes- but the drivers of this pattern vary across systems. Learn more and register here: www.biogeography.org/news/news/ju...
