Do ForestEurope indicators work for biodiversity? We tested them against field-sampled multi-taxon data (a lot of them!) and only some of them moderately relate to species richness! Read the recent article led by YoanPaillet Time for a data-driven revision!

Warming up, just not too hard, can help you survive an intense workout. In a new study led by Xinru Li, we found that "priming" - sub-lethal exposure to heat stress - can also help coral reefs survive heat provided the heat waves are not too severe.
