New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🌏It’s been over a year since OneSTOP and our sister-project @guardias.bsky.social kicked off with the shared aim of tackling the threat of #InvasiveAlienSpecies in Europe 👉Check out what the two projects have been up to in our joint blogpost: onestop-project.eu/news/year-ac... #BioInvasions

Very cool (and very worrying) interactive article about fire ants in Sicily, Italy 🐜 edition.cnn.com/interactive/...

A deadly fire ant has reached European shores. The insect invasion could wreak havoc

The red imported fire ant is one of the world’s most destructive invasive species. Can its spread be stopped?

Heartbreaking truth: At just 1.5°C of #warming (where we already are), 70–90% of #CoralReefs could vanish. At 2.0°C, almost all (>99%) are gone. We’re watching a living wonder cross a #TippingPoint. #MarineEcology 🧪🌍🌐🌊🔥

Correcting environmental sampling bias improves transferability of species distribution models

Sampling bias is an inherent problem in widely available biodiversity data, undermining the robustness of correlative species distribution models (SDMs). To some extent, subsampling occurrence data c....
