The first many-analysts study in ecology is finally published! 🥳🙌

300+ coauthors and 5+ years, this was a massive effort by @elliotgould.bsky.social Hannah Fraser Tim Parker and co.

Open access 👉 bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Top panels: graphs showing increases in spillover events, extinction rates, and temperature anomalies over the last few centuries. Bottom panel: a map of 10 pandemics since the year 1900. Four were linked to agriculture, two to wildlife use, and one to climate change.

🚨😷🧪 NEW: A growing body of evidence shows that pandemics, biodiversity loss, and climate change are part of a broader polycrisis - but there are no simple solutions. A sweeping overview of "Pathogens and planetary change" for the first issue of @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social, out now 🔓 rdcu.be/d6lHl

That’s a wrap!

There’s nothing quite like seeing ecologists and practitioners come together, sparking new ideas and collaborations. We can’t wait to bring this energy to Edinburgh next year.

Until then, stay connected and stay inspired!

Hi, I’d like to be added:)

Great start of the #BES2024! Come see my poster (A17.0) on #AI, #epidemiology, and #LLM s this evening:)

Sensitivity to climate change is widespread across zoonotic diseases Climate change is expected to exacerbate infectious diseases, yet the climate sensitivity of zoonotic diseases (driven by spillover from animal reservoirs) is markedly understudied compared to vector-...

A couple of related, recent preprints from my lab:

1) Climate change sensitivity is widespread across animal-borne (zoonotic diseases) but methods and reporting so mixed that is hard to draw quantitative conclusions:
