Our study ‘The global human impact on biodiversity’ is out in Nature!

Through an unprecedented synthesis (2133 studies!) we show that humans are not only shrinking species numbers—but reshaping entire communities across the planet. 🌍🌐🐟🌿🪲

DNA fragments in air, soil and water, known as environmental or eDNA, could be used in crime investigations, to monitor pollution and enviromental quality, to warn of biosecurity threats and more according to a new report from the Royal Society. royalsociety.org/news/2025/03...
