The High Seas Treaty spells hope for the ocean, but only if it is powered by science - Nature Reviews Biodiversity The new High Seas Treaty presents an unprecedented opportunity to protect and sustainably use the biodiversity in an area that covers nearly half the planet. Jane Lubchenco calls on scientists to help...

There's a lot of work ahead. As Jane Lubchenco writes in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com, we must invest in science to ensure that steps to safeguard life on the high seas is grounded in a solid framework of objective information. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

I'll be at #TIBS2026 in Aarhus this week! Find me to chat all things Reviews and Opinion for @natrevbiodiv.nature.com 🧪🌍

We’re out en masse at #SVP2025! Find me or flag me down to chat anything Reviews or Opinion for @natrevbiodiv.nature.com 🧪🦖🦕

Not only will I be at #SVP2025 for @springernature.com but I believe my colleagues @devinleaward.bsky.social @joaovascoleite.bsky.social @lukegrinham.bsky.social will be there too.

I am so happy to see this published in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com today! Congratulations Dr Jones and team on a fantastic Review

I am very excited to share that we have a new paper out today in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com

In it, we summarize the state of knowledge on the Circular Seabird Economy!

A set of drawers in a natural history museum; drawers contain bones, shell artefacts, pressed leaves, art, and written records.

Our October Issue is out today: www.nature.com/nrbd/volumes...
Content in this issue looks to the past (historical ecology and herbaria) and to related social science disciplines (anthropology and political ecology) to gain insights about biodiversity science and conservation.

The functional adaptations of mammalian brain structures through a behavioural ecology lens Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 15 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00095-0Palaeontologists and comparative neurobiologists share a common interest in the evolution of the mammalian brain, but often fail to realize the benefits of this shared interest. This Review draws these fields together, demonstrating the utility of a cross-disciplinary, synergistic approach.

New online! The functional adaptations of mammalian brain structures through a behavioural ecology lens

I'm thrilled to share a new Perspective paper we published in Nature Reviews Biodiversity @natrevbiodiv.nature.com today:

An interesting (and inspiring) insight into volunteering to be be part of the @ipcc.bsky.social, from the perspective of an academic palaeontologist.

I loved working on this Review, just look at those figures! 😍

This is figure 3, which shows intercontinental species flow of non-native insects.

Global insect invasions are increasing, driven by advances in globalization and technology. A Review in Nature Reviews Biodiversity discusses the effects of increasing trade and transport on insect invasions worldwide, and strategies for mitigation. https://go.nature.com/3X6QkHk

Big thanks to @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social for the invitation to write about a paper that shaped me as an ecologist.
A great experience, strongly recommend to ECR's.

Really excited to see this out in @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social!

World and Human Action Models towards gameplay ideation - Nature A state-of-the-art generative artificial intelligence model of a video game is introduced to allow the support of human creative ideation, with the analysis of user study data highlighting three necessary capabilities, namely, consistency, diversity and persistency.

A paper in Nature presents a generative AI tool that could help video game designers to craft gameplay iteratively. The AI model, developed by researchers at Microsoft, generated robust 3D worlds that obeyed the mechanics of the video game they were designed for. https://go.nature.com/41mNgcG 🧪

This month, we also also introduce the Journal Club format, offering early-career researchers the chance to tell the wider community about an article that they find especially influential. Our Editorial explaining the format can be found here go.nature.com/42YA3If and our first Journal Clubs below!

First up in our February issue, the Review that inspired our cover art. Bertelsmeier and colleagues discuss the effects of increasing trade and transport on insect invasions worldwide, and strategies for mitigation of future insect invasions. go.nature.com/4hEx8ZY

Nature Reviews Biodiversity - Volume 1 Issue 2, February 2025 Globalization is responsible for the spatial spread of numerous insect species; inspired by the Review from Bertelsmeier et al.

We are thrilled to share our second issue with the world - very fitting given the globalization theme to our cover this month! 🥳 We hope you enjoy the articles within.

Ecological drivers of coastal wetland resilience.

Coastal wetlands are important ecosystems around the world with immense ecological and economic value. He and colleagues review the increasing anthropogenic threats to coastal wetlands as well as their resilience to change and conservation priorities for their protection. go.nature.com/3Wo7lwj

Amazonian areas of endemism and riverine barriers. The riverine barrier width corresponds to the average time divergence of sister clades separated by that barrier. Riverine barrier colour indicates the standard deviation of all the clade splits associated with that river

First up, in the article that inspired our cover art, Camila Ribas and colleagues review the influence of Amazonian geological history in shaping the region’s rich biodiversity. go.nature.com/3Cbru1W

Here we go! The first issue of Nature Reviews Biodiversity is now live🥳🎉🥂.
Thank you to our authors, reviewers, and community for the support! We hope you enjoy the reading. www.nature.com/nrbd/volumes...

Any minute now, the first issue of @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social will go live at www.nature.com/nrbd/. It's been such an exciting past 8 months (I think?) working on this behind the scenes and I can't wait for everyone to read our first articles!
