Paper of the week: setting a research agenda for threatened alpine peatland management. This paper synthesises the knowledge of 40 experts to establish 25 priority research questions that need answering to better protect peatlands. Many many collaborators! conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@EnayatMoallemi @CSIRO @_Planet_A Congrats Enayat!

@MondayStory Harry can I dm you some Q's about spotlighting please? Always mean to get started and never quite do

Did anybody else know that sugar (Krefft’s) gliders can steer in mid-air because I didn’t until I saw one do a fully u-shaped glide right over my head in suburban Melbourne tonight 😮

@MHadjikakou Wish I hadn't read this while waiting for white rice to cook 😅

The dominance of white rice and its serious health implications mirror many food system sustainability challenges. Shifts towards commodities (e.g., palm oil) and practices (e.g., land clearing) become so hard to reverse once established. #FoodSystems theguardian.com/global-develop…

@Anthony_Rendall Congrats Anthony!

Thanks John & Ray! Long time coming but a successful career move! Appreciate the doors you've opened!

@Nature @redlisteco @UNBiodiversity @IPBES This was a massive international effort of a huge team of scientists and reviewers led by Prof David Keith @UNSWScience, @n_ylime, @NeoMapas and others. The full system with indicative maps can be explored here: global-ecosystems.org

New paper in @Nature: a new system for classifying any ecosystem on Earth. It fills a big gap and aims to support efforts by @redlisteco, @UNBiodiversity, @IPBES and to assess the status of the world's ecosystems. nature.com/articles/s4158…
