New in @NatureEcoEvo: Study maps global locations of critical natural assets. Shows that conserving 30% of global land & 24% of coastal waters would sustain 90% of nature’s current contribution to people. Collab led by @UMNIonE w/ @NatCapProject. Read: go.nature.com/3AYyGdQ
Paper in @natureecoevo develops a framework to assess the role that various social cues play in animal's migration decisions. Applies framework to existing cases documenting the influence of social cues on the timing of animal migration.

Study in @naturecomms reveals #microplastics ingestion by filter-feeding whales is likely 10 million pieces/day. Combines depth-integrated microplastic data w/ foraging measurements from 191 blue, fin, & humpback whales: go.nature.com/3E3Yt4U @hopkinsmarine
New in @NatureComms: Beaver dams positively influence water quality in mountain watersheds, overshadowing climatic extremes. Warmer weather -> more beavers -> more dams -> removal of nitrate that would otherwise lead to water quality degradation: go.nature.com/3E6IFOT
From @djhayes01: an insider’s view on the Biden administration’s #climate resilience strategy - how the US federal government is approaching major climate risks. Important context for current adaptation conversations at #COP27.

New @PNASNews from @RjpSchmitt @lorenzorosa1992 & Gretchen Daily @natcapproject: Study quantifies h2o storage required to maximize crop irrigation w/o depleting water stocks or nature. Finds dams also store 50%+ of needed h2o, but notes dam drawbacks: bit.ly/3GlvpsJ
New in @TheLancetPlanet: Analysis from @Stanford, @Princeton, et al. explores direct vs environmental disease drivers. Finds 80% of pathogens are environmentally mediated, supporting the need for more research on #environmental solutions to human diseases: bit.ly/3fYjzKg
New from @DavidBLobell et al. in @GlobalChangeBio: Cover crops reduce maize & soybean yields in U.S. Corn Belt. Study suggests cover cropping could lead to negative impacts despite being encouraged as a method of carbon sequestration: bit.ly/3G85F2y

New in @AnnualReviews: Comprehensive review from Noah Diffenbaugh examines observed and hypothesized enviro impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; finds acute risks to many terrestrial and marine ecosystems and communities that depend on them. bit.ly/3z9zCeB
New in @SocRiskAnalysis from @WongParodi_grp and others: Exposure to traditional media (TV, radio, etc.) predicts mitigation behaviors for both COVID-19 & hurricanes, but exposure to social media does not. bit.ly/3ML5ADh
New @ISMEJournal study on microbial activity off the #california coast from @annedekas, @NestorArandia & Alma Parada. Study detects activity throughout the water column & exceeds previous estimates for the proportion of active cells in the deep sea. go.nature.com/3embNZT

.@BillGates visited @Stanforddoerr to learn how our researchers are tackling climate challenges. He met #StanfordWHD faculty affiliate @TarpehDiem, who transforms sewage into valuable products. Read more about Tarpeh's work ➡️ stanford.io/3Rz9sIB
After my visit to the @stanforddoerr school of sustainability, I’m even more optimistic that we can develop breakthroughs that will transform our global economy, our lives, and our planet for the better: gatesnot.es/3e3Irz4
New @naturesustainab paper quantifies a social cost of US #wildfires: smoke exposure reduces test scores. (Fixed-effects regression models controlled for confounds like temp & precipitation). From @jeffliwen & @MarshallBBurke @StanfordECHOLab: go.nature.com/3e8wgBd

New @PNASnews: #climate models show the effectiveness of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) could be hidden by the natural variability of Earth’s climate. In the decade after SAI, many regions could still experience even higher local temps: bit.ly/3fpsZgV
New paper @FrontiersofAgr1 predicts that increasing temporal variability in precipitation will reduce crop yields & increase nitrogen losses. This is expected & observed to occur w/ anthropogenic #climatechange: bit.ly/3ffXpCv
