Levantine overkill: 1.5 million years of hunting down the body size distribution

Jacob Dembitzer et al.

Summary: Research found that in the Southern Levant region, the average body weight of animals declined logarithmically over time; 10,500 years ago, the average weight of animals hunted was only 1.7% of that 1.5 million years ago. Different human lineages hunted significantly smaller prey in different periods, indicating that humans gradually eradicated large species throughout the Pleistocene.

The effects of defaunation on plants' capacity to track climate change

Evan C. Fricke et al.

Summary: Half of all plant species rely on animals for seed dispersal. Defaunation and novel community assembly affect plant adaptation to climate change through migration. Predicting pairwise interactions and dispersal function for fleshy-fruited plants globally can help forecast their assembly and functioning. Mammal and bird defaunation has already reduced the capacity of plants to track climate change by 60% globally, showing a synergy between defaunation and climate change that undermines vegetation resilience.

Land-based noise pollution impairs reef fish behavior: A case study with a Brazilian carnival

Antoine O. H. C. Leduc et al.

Summary: Human activities have spread anthropogenic sounds across the biosphere, affecting individual welfare and ecosystem health. Research shows that noise pollution from land, such as during the Brazilian carnival in Salvador, can significantly impact the behavior of reef fish species, potentially leading to detrimental effects on individual fitness and coastal ecosystem health. Conservation efforts should extend to coastal ecosystems to mitigate the impacts of underwater sounds emanating from land.

Protist taxonomic and functional diversity in soil, freshwater and marine ecosystems

David Singer et al.

Summary: Protists dominate eukaryotic diversity and play key functional roles in all ecosystems, particularly by catalyzing carbon and nutrient cycling. However, a comparative analysis of their taxonomic and functional diversity across major ecosystems on Earth is lacking. The study reveals similarities and differences in protist diversity and functional groups among soil, freshwater, and marine environments, suggesting biogeographic patterns and highlighting the importance of understanding protists' roles in the biosphere.

From wildlife-ism to ecosystem-service-ism to a broader environmentalism

Sharachchandra Lele

Summary: The concept of biodiversity conservation encompasses various ideas on preserving different aspects of nature. Debates have arisen on what aspects of nature are worth protecting and how to balance concerns for nature with broader societal well-being. Acknowledging multiple values about conservation and society, rejecting a biocentric high horse, practicing pragmatic pluralism, and embracing a broad set of societal concerns may be a more viable approach to achieving a balanced society-nature relationship.

Earth history events shaped the evolution of uneven biodiversity across tropical moist forests

Oskar Hagen et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the biodiversity disparity in tropical moist forests is influenced by both contemporary climate and paleoenvironmental history, affecting species richness in different regions. High diversity is mainly driven by complex macroevolutionary dynamics such as mountain uplift, while lower diversity is associated with lower speciation rates and higher extinction rates.

Half a century of global decline in oceanic sharks and rays

Nathan Pacoureau et al.

Summary: Overfishing is the primary cause of marine defaunation, with global abundance of oceanic sharks and rays declining by 71% since 1970. Three-quarters of the species in this important assemblage are now at risk of extinction. Urgent measures, such as strict fishing prohibitions and science-based catch limits, are needed to prevent further population collapse and promote species recovery.

The soundscape of the Anthropocene ocean

Carlos M. Duarte et al.

Summary: Oceans have become noisier due to human activities since the Industrial Revolution, affecting both biological and abiotic sounds. Climate change also plays a role in altering natural sounds in the oceans. The increased noise levels in the ocean pose threats to marine animals' behavior, physiology, and survival, prompting the need for management actions to mitigate the impact.

Widespread homogenization of plant communities in the Anthropocene

Barnabas H. Daru et al.

Summary: The study reveals a widespread and temporal decrease in species and phylogenetic turnover, leading to increased biotic homogenization at different scales and spatial extents. The homogenization within major biomes is largely driven by non-native species introductions, with Asia and North America being major sources. However, Australia, the Pacific and Europe contribute disproportionately to phylogenetic diversity in the global pool of non-native species.

Evidence of free tropospheric and long-range transport of microplastic at Pic du Midi Observatory

S. Allen et al.

Summary: The study reveals the presence of atmospheric microplastic pollution at the Pic du Midi Observatory, indicating free long range transport in the troposphere. The results show evidence of true free tropospheric transport of microplastic particles <50 μm over 4 summer months at an altitude of 2877 meters. Analysis of air/particle history modelling suggests potential global aerosol microplastic transport through intercontinental and trans-oceanic pathways.

People have shaped most of terrestrial nature for at least 12,000 years

Erle C. Ellis et al.

Summary: Archaeological and paleoecological evidence suggest that human societies have been using ecologically transformative land use practices since 10,000 BCE, shaping nearly three quarters of Earth's land by that time. The current biodiversity crisis is not primarily caused by the loss of uninhabited wildlands, but rather from the appropriation, colonization, and intensifying use of biodiverse cultural landscapes long shaped and sustained by prior societies. Recognizing the deep cultural connection with biodiversity will be crucial in resolving the crisis.

Biodiversity and the challenge of pluralism

Unai Pascual et al.

Summary: The lack of progress in reversing the declining global trend in biodiversity is partly due to a mismatch in how living nature is conceived and valued, leading to hindrances in protecting biodiversity. Addressing this problem calls for a pluralistic perspective on biodiversity, considering the use of the concept, willingness to expand its ambit, and engagement with various drivers of change.
