Our new paper shows good establishment of wetland plants after seed dispersal inside waterfowl, but plants grow better when seeds are first removed from the faeces (e.g. when poo falls into water) #endozoochory @ebdonana @sibecol @BSBIbotany

Esta animación de la NASA rastrea anomalías globales de la temperatura del aire entre 1964 y 2024, comparadas con el promedio de 1951-1980. Con el tiempo, la distribución de estas anomalías no sólo cambia a la derecha, sino que se ensancha, mostrando tanto el calentamiento persistente como el aumento de las temperaturas extremas. Para 2024, el año más cálido registrado, las temperaturas globales promediaban 1,3°C más altas que la media del periodo de referencia. Estas tendencias no son sólo números, sino que son huellas dactilares de la huella humana.

🌿Artificial wetlands are not replacing natural wetlands in terms of biodiversity

#EBDPub findings:

🔹 Opportunistic and non-native species dominate artificial wetlands

🔹 Groundwater abstraction impacts the ecological functions provided by scavengers
