Land-use impacts on crop yield: direct and indirect roles of arthropods and associated ecosystem services in European farmland - Landscape Ecology Context Land-use intensification to increase yields is often detrimental to biodiversity undermining the provision of ecosystem services. However, it is questionable if ecosystem service providers…

🌾 #FunProd ( #BiodivHealth) finds high-intensity farming raises yields but harms biodiversity. Bees boost rape pollination & yields, but predator-driven pest control is less clear. Ecological intensification needs tailored approaches.

🦟 #DIMOC ( #BiodivHealth) study in Camargue, France, shows Culex pipiens mosquitoes prefer feeding on Passeriformes, like pigeons & sparrows, along a land-use gradient. Key birds may drive West Nile & Usutu virus spread.

🌊 Spanish Mediterranean MPAs: only 7% highly protected. Partial protection varies, with inconsistent fishing gear rules. Better regulation needed for effective conservation. With #MOVE ( #BiodivProtect) and #METRODIVER ( #BiodivHealth)

🐟 Can fish help track antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pollution? ANTIVERSA ( #BiodivHealth) finds river fish microbiomes shift near wastewater plants, but resistomes don’t. Better strategies needed!

Congratulations 👏
Findings from #NutriB2 ( #BiodivHealth) were key in shaping our policy brief on healthy agricultural systems. Take a look:

🦟 Birds vs. mosquito virus: Of the importance of balanced species distribution!
#DIMOC ( #BiodivHealth) shows higher bird diversity and abundance can raise USUV risk in mosquitoes if species evenness is low.

Major data gaps and recommendations in monitoring regulations of activities in EU marine protected areas - npj Ocean Sustainability npj Ocean Sustainability - Major data gaps and recommendations in monitoring regulations of activities in EU marine protected areas

🌊 EU MPAs: Regulations are patchy! #MOVE ( #BiodivProtect) and #METRODIVER ( #BiodivHealth) show major data gaps, with most activities regulated in <40% of MPA area. We need better data & coordination for effective marine protection.
