We successfully kicked-off the "Heatwave-driven rewiring of coastal food webs" project last week. #Warming #FoodWebs #DNAtools Thanks to all participants and collaborators!
CoastClim@coastclim.bsky.social · last yr.New project: Heatwave-driven rewiring of coastal food webs, led by @skortsch.bsky.social, had a productive kick-off meeting at @tvarminne.bsky.social. They examine how marine heatwaves reshape food webs by integrating experiments, molecular tools, and food web modeling. #Warming #FoodWebs #DNAtools

Food web robustness depends on the network type and threshold for extinction
Species loss in ecological communities can trigger cascading extinctions, the extent of which likely depends on network type and extinction thresholds. Traditionally, network responses to node remova...

Every year in Finland, an item is a chosen as the "most useless item of the year" (turhake = useless item) . Normally it is a leaf blower or something, but this year it is simply "lawn" due to the negative effects mowed grass has on biodiversity yle.fi/a/74-20129143
Vuoden turhake valittiin jälleen – se löytyy lähes jokaiselta pihalta
Vuoden 2024 turhakkeeksi valittiin nurmikko. Valinnalla on jo vuosia nostettu valokeilaan ympäristöä kuormittavia kulutusvalintoja.
