@idiv-research.bsky.socialGlobal biodiversity trends are often discussed in headlines, but how are they measured?
On #InsideBiodiversity, Louise McRae (@zslofficial.bsky.social) explains the Living Planet Index and the data behind one of the world's most cited biodiversity indicators. 📊🌍
@idiv-research.bsky.social🎙️ On #InsideBiodiversity, Volker Hahn speaks with Louise McRae (@zslofficial.bsky.social) about the new Living Planet Index, a widely used indicator of global biodiversity change.
What can the data tell us about trends in wildlife populations around the world? 🌍📊
@uni-jena.deReposted by @idiv-research.bsky.socialToday, #UniJena has opened the Microverse Center Jena. The new building provides around 5,000 square metres for interdisciplinary microbiome research in the Cluster of Excellence @microverse.bsky.social.
@idiv-research.bsky.social🌱 iDiv's Dr Monica Farfan contributed to the FAO's Status of the World's Soil Resources report. For iDiv, she reflects on science-based policy, soil biodiversity monitoring, and collaboration to protect soils.
@idiv-research.bsky.social🎉 Herzlichen Glückwunsch an die @uni-jena.de zur Auszeichnung als Exzellenzuniversität!
Als Gründungsmitglied und Trägerinstitution von iDiv ist die Universität ein starker Partner in der Biodiversitätsforschung.
Große Freude über diesen verdienten Erfolg. 🌿👏
@idiv-research.bsky.social🌊 In a recent paper, @gavinstark89.bsky.social shares eight principles for marine #rewilding in a framework to support large-scale ecosystem restoration, reconnect habitats, reduce human pressures, and promote ecological recovery. 🦦 🪸

@idiv-research.bsky.socialWhy did a major herring fishery suddenly collapse around 1570?
Study by @uni-kiel.de and iDiv shows how 🌡️ environmental change, 🎣 overfishing and 👥 social & economic change combined to push centuries-old Skanör-Falsterbo fishery into collapse.
@idiv-research.bsky.social🌡️ ❄️ 🏜️ A new study in Nature Communications shows warming, cooling and aridification shaped mammal communities in Central Asia during the Paleogene (66-23 million years ago).

@idiv-research.bsky.socialOn #InsideBiodiversity, host Volker Hahn speaks with Shai Meiri about how public perception shapes reptile research. 🐢🦎🐍 This perception has real consequences: fewer monitoring projects, less funding, and gaps in global data. @telavivuni.bsky.social @unimelb.edu.au
