Out now! 🌿🎙️ In this month's episode of #InsideBiodiversity, Prof Marten Scheffer explains critical transitions and tipping points.
Together with iDiv's Dr Volker Hahn, he explores whether local tipping points can be scaled up to a 🌍 biospheric planetary boundary.

How to measure seed longevity in storage when comparing accessions or species? We looked in detail at the most widely used measure (p50) and found out that it is... suboptimal at best. We highlight alternatives. @gfoesoc.bsky.social @unimarburg.bsky.social

Arthropod species loss underpins biomass declines - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Insects are declining in many regions. Here the authors show that arthropod biomass losses in Jena Experiment and Biodiversity Exploratories time series are driven more by species loss than by species...

Of the 8000 plant species introduced to cities around the world, about 300 are in cities on every continent and about 90 are basically in every city. Urbanization has selected for a common set of species that are the fingerprint of our activity: The urban florome.

Our new paper in Ecology Letters, led by Jan Divíšek, shows that non-invasive alien plant species that successfully establish within local plant communities tend to resemble the resident native species. In contrast, invasive alien species usually differ from native plants.
