Wild vs. cultivated strawberries: differential fruit quality traits and antioxidant properties in Fragaria chiloensis and Fragaria × ananassa - Discover Food Nature can contribute to human well-being in various ways, yet some culturally significant wild species remain understudied. This is the case with the red form of Fragaria chiloensis subsp.…

🍓 #OBServ ( #BiodivScen) highlights the potential of wild Patagonian strawberries. Though smaller, they’re richer in antioxidants and beneficial compounds than cultivated ones. Insights into domestication and future breeding.

Participatory downscaling of global SSP–RCP scenarios to local fisheries social–ecological systems - Sustainability Science Policymakers and managers need projections of the trajectories of change in human societies and natural ecosystems to plan actions to address the potential consequences of global change. There are…

🌊 #SOMBEE ( #BiodivScen) downscaled IPCC scenarios for French fisheries (North Sea & Mediterranean), revealing 83% shared themes but 30% unique local details. Co-created with stakeholders, these scenarios can guide local adaptation to climate change.

🌊 Climate change reshapes oceans & fisheries, but regional impacts are uncertain. #SOMBEE ( #BiodivScen) shows global models predict bigger fish biomass declines than regional ones, especially in CMIP6. More research needed to improve predictions.

🎶 Listen to the night sky! In the Pyrenees, #GloBAM ( #BiodivScen) explores acoustic methods to quantify migration, comparing flight call rates, passage rates, and species diversity. A key method for bird conservation!

Biological data derived from European weather radars - Scientific Data Scientific Data - Biological data derived from European weather radars

📡 Weather radars = animal tracking goldmine!
#GloBAM ( #BiodivScen) and #HiRAD ( #BiodivMon) present datasets unlocking continental-scale bird movements. 141 radar stations in 18 countries, from 2008 to 2023!

🌊 #SOMBEE ( #BiodivScen) developed a new standardised protocol and workflow to improve climate change projections in marine ecosystems. Improves model comparisons & policy planning for fisheries!

📉 Biological invasions threaten biodiversity, and current strategies may not meet 2030 targets! #AlienScenarios and #InvasiBES ( #BiodivScen) survey shows increasing numbers and impacts, despite control efforts. More monitoring and better data sharing are needed.

🦇 Another example of hedgerows enhancing ecosystem services! #SECBIVIT ( #BiodivScen) shows how they support bats in vineyards, which help control pests like the European grapevine moth.

🍷 How to boost plant diversity in your vineyard? #SECBIVIT ( #BiodivScen) shows organic management boosts plant alpha and gamma diversity, with proximity to semi-natural habitats also helping. High disturbance frequency decreases alpha but increases beta diversity.

📊 How do nutrients & dissolved organic matter control lake productivity? #LimnoSCenES ( #BiodivScen) used Bayesian data assimilation to model primary production in 58 global lakes and improved predictions. Key for forecasting lake ecosystem responses!

🐦 Can agriculture & biodiversity coexist? #SALBES ( #BiodivScen) mapped Swiss farmland to identify key bird conservation zones, balancing agricultural impact with species potential. Crucial for future policy and targeted action!
