2/2 The report, launched at the #COP16 Convention on Biological Diversity, is a world-first assessment of global kelp forests, which are found across a third of the world’s coastlines, and the findings highlight the need to accelerate kelp conservation. unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/20…

Countries need to do more to conserve kelp forests and meet international targets

The latest report shows slow progress on kelp restoration targets, but highlights the rapid growth of the international kelp forest community.

Much of the world’s ecosystems are in various stages of decline and in urgent need of restoration. A team of Australian scientists led by Dr Georgina Wood have launched a new online tool called 'Reef Adapt'. Find out more 🔗 bit.ly/3YLVhqp

That's Not a Hybrid: How to Distinguish Patterns of Admixture and Isolation By Distance | Molecular Ecology Resources onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Very important paper! Indeed, I have also noticed that Structure/Admixture plots are often overinterpreted as introgression.

That's Not a Hybrid: How to Distinguish Patterns of Admixture and Isolation By Distance

Describing naturally occurring genetic variation is a fundamental goal of molecular phylogeography and population genetics. Popular methods for this task include STRUCTURE, a model-based algorithm...

It is too simplistic to think that introducing single species (eg, beaver, bison, pine marten) can fundamentally repair degraded ecosystems Even if we call them keystones Rewilding is about rebuilding complexity, which includes complex trophic structures science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Rewilding complex ecosystems

Humans have encroached upon a majority of Earth's lands. The current extinction crisis is a testament to human impacts on wilderness. If there is any hope of retaining a biodiverse planetary system,...
