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.

we propose a new theory of metabolic scaling grounded in thermodynamics and stochastic fluctuations at the cellular level.
