Happy to repost this study led by TUM. We really should be concerned about increasing forest disturbances in Europe. The focus should be put next to developing resilient and adaptive forest management options. Great work Marc, Rupert et al. @luke.fi

You can still participate in this survey! Interesting questions about how we connect with nature and the challenges we face.

Over the next 4 years, we’ll work across Europe to co-
develop tree-based solutions for climate resilience and biodiversity.

How is this legal? They are apparently not only providing AI summaries, but also stealing illustrations from our papers? I prepared the illustration, it has only been posted on arXiv, and the license there is the minimal arXiv license that shouldn't permit this?

Teeth first evolved as sensory tissue in the armored exoskeletons of ancient fish, fossil scans find Anyone who has ever squirmed through a dental cleaning can tell you how sensitive teeth can be. This sensitivity gives important feedback about temperature, pressure—and yes, pain—as we bite and chew ...

New paper from the lab: Our teeth arose as sensory organs on the outside of the body of ancient jawless fish.!! Congrats to Yara Haridy and the team!

We are building a network to safeguard forests, starting with a thread (literally) to show how we are all connected.

Because protecting trees starts with loving them, frostbite and all! ❄️🌍

Hi BlueSky folks!
Have you searched for concrete examples on the effects of #climatechange AND anthropocene in #nature? Well, I open my BlueSky with one such story from Finland:
