Land use change can affect both species diversity and evolution within species🌍🐿️
We find that evolutionary response to land use change can be masked in the field by phenotypic plasticity, revealing hidden adaptation to global change👇️

Findings support hypothesis that predators constrain prey species activity and behavior.
This year, researchers finally put a face to one of our long-lost relatives—confirming with DNA evidence that a 146,000-year-old skull known as the “Dragon Man” belonged to a Denisovan, an extinct lineage of humans that, like the Neanderthals, once shared the planet with modern humans.

🌿 Ecosystems are more than landscapes — they’re essential units of biodiversity that require careful, informed decision-making.
A new issue brief from the BEFoRE (Benefits from Restoration) project underscores the importance of understanding which ecosystems are present at a project site, along with their condition and risk status.
