🚗🌊 Since 1850 human biomass movement has risen 40-fold.
》Wild animal movement fell sixty percent.
》The ocean’s living motion was cut in half by industrial fishing and whaling.
A planet once shaped by migrations now runs on motors.

"The loss of top predators disrupts food web complexities, triggering cascading effects across all levels of biodiversity. As a result, ecosystem services are reduced in defaunated landscapes." Published 📖 @currentbiology.bsky.social

We camera-trapped an "unprotected" forest in central Vietnam and found both rich biodiversity (including threatened & endemic species) but also alarming signs of defaunation. Urgent conservation needed! Glob. Ecol. Conserv:

Defaunation (Biodiversity 🦗)
Defaunation is the global, local, or functional extinction of animal populations or species from ecological communities. The growth of the human population, combined with advances in harvesting technologies, has led to more intense and efficient exploitation of the […]

🔬🌍The late-Quaternary #extinctions led to novel #herbivore assemblages worldwide🦏🦣
🌿47–64% of today’s assemblages are functionally novel
🔥Large areas w/ novel assemblages have #biome states sensitive to these changes, eg via #fire

The evidence for Homo sapiens playing the dominant role in the global #megafauna #extinctions constitutes one of the clearest, well-supported patterns in #ecology.

I saw Ana‘s talk on #defaunation at the #GLPOSM conference in April and it was great!
So if you are at #ATBC2019, go and attend her talk tomorrow (if not, read her paper!
