Excited to share our new paper published last week: we describe three #Acalypha species new to science from #Africa, expanding the genus’s diversity and contributing to a better understanding of tropical flora. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Three new species of Acalypha L. (Euphorbiaceae, Acalyphoideae) from Tanzania and Angola and their conservation status

We describe Acalypha brevipetiolata and A. bracteolata from Tanzania, and A. linearis from Angola, as species new to science. We provide illustrations, distribution maps, and preliminary conservation ...

Taxonomy is under constant change; species classification is revised continuously, and changes accumulate affecting biodiversity metrics & generating uncertainty that is rarely assessed. Juliana Stropp review how taxonomic changes have changed the observed Amazonian palm richness patterns 👇🧪🌐 #NICED

Although taxonomy is an evolving discipline, taxonomic change is rarely accounted for in macroecological studies. By tracking the history of species descriptions and synonymizations of Amazonian palms...

‘Biodiversity is not declining’ is a claim you may have heard. But science says otherwise. 📉 The @ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment reveals 1 million plant & animal species are at risk of extinction. Misinformation clouds the crisis. Rely on trusted research to understand our shared challenges. 🌍🧪

A split-screen image. The left side shows a rhinoceros mother and calf in a savanna landscape with scattered trees. The right side depicts a forest fire scene with orange flames and silhouetted trees against a dark sky. Text reads: "Biodiversity is in crisis" followed by: "1 million plant and animal species risk extinction Ecosystems are collapsing Misinformation slows progress." "Trust the science. Conserve, restore and sustainably use biodiversity."

It's official! All thesis chapters are individually citable! (One still needs to go through peer-review though 😅) Dealing with systematic errors arising from missing data, this is fresh off the press: doi.org/10.1093/sysb... Psst, we also have a new comprehensive caecilian phylogeny! 1/4 🧵

Coping with Ineffective Overlap in Multilocus Phylogenetics

Abstract. Missing data is a long standing issue in phylogenetic inference, which often results in high levels of taxonomic instability, obscuring otherwise

How is misinformation threatening efforts to preserve biodiversity? Join us (@linneansociety.bsky.social and @systassn.bsky.social) on Thursday, June 12th 6PM at Burlington House, London for a panel discussion on the effects of polarised mass communication on conservation. tinyurl.com/e8e4p5zt

Misinformation and the Threat to Conservation

Can truth survive in a fractured media landscape - and what’s at stake for life on Earth if it doesn’t?
