Distribution map of contemporary global Taxus species richness. (a) Trends in species richness and latitude–longitude changes; (b) most suitable area and suitable area; (c) widely distributed and (d) narrowest distribution.
In this study, Shuo Zhang et al. used the #StackedSpeciesDistributionModel (SSDM) to predict the spatiotemporal patterns of global #TaxusL. distribution and driving mechanism for the first time.

Nahaufnahme eines Feuersalamanders mit auffälligem gelb-schwarzem Muster auf grünem Gras. Der Text informiert über eine Studie der Universität Bielefeld, die zeigt, dass männliche Tiere mehr Gelbanteil als weibliche haben.
Zwei Feuersalamander mit Geschlechtersymbolen (♂ und ♀) vor dunklem Hintergrund. Der männliche Salamander zeigt deutlich mehr Gelbfärbung, besonders am Kopf. Der Text erklärt die Warnfunktion der Farbe und die geschlechtsspezifischen Unterschiede.
Feuersalamander mit gelb-schwarzem Muster auf einem Holzstück, vor unscharfem Naturhintergrund. Der Text stellt Fragen zur Bedeutung der Farbgebung für Partnerwahl, Tarnung und Fressfeinde und betont den Forschungsbedarf.
Der BUND Sachsen untersucht systematisch die Vorkommen von Feuersalamandern in sächsischen Mittelgebirgen. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse aus den Jahren 2021 - 2024 sind auch in die Studie der Forschungsgruppe der Uni Bielefeld eingeflossen.

8/ Farmers also economically benefit from ‘reduced seasonality’🍂 and higher profitability of game than cattle 💸(Chaminuka, 2013). Impacts from ‘drought, disease and pests’ are also less severe, as increased #speciesdiversity means there is lower risk of these dangers☠️ impacting every species at once
