🦌Tree diversity boosts tree growth, but why? This study shows: foliar chemical diversity influences tree enemies- more diverse forests have more diverse chemicals which attracts more caterpillars but better resists pathogens & deer, driving better growth buff.ly/2Vw8uO0
A massive overnight russian strike hit Odesa. Historic landmarks in the heart of the city were damaged — including the iconic Pryvoz Market. This is not a “military operation.” This is terrorism - russia is a terrorist state.
"Genetic history of Scythia" High-quality genomic data generated from 131 ancient individuals from Great Scythia and neighboring regions of the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Including relationships between Scythians and elite Scythians. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
New paper: Alien plants interact with land-use change, climate change, and defaunation to reshape ecosystems, often catalyzing the emergence of novel ecosystems Globally, tropics are at the forefront of such transformations @NatRevBiodiv @JCSvenning nature.com/articles/s4435…
Impacts of proactive health management on cattle and horse diets and dung biodiversity in Danish rewilding areas besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…
PE is pleased to unveil the introductory chapter to our thematic issue on sauropods. This review covers the anatomy, biomechanics, and ecology of diplodocids. Look out for more articles in the sauropod issue coming out later this year!
A brief summary of what we have accomplished during the week with the friends of Ukraine. With Denmark – new agreements on coproduction. The Danish model of investing in Ukraine’s own DIB has proven its effectiveness. Joint work on the territory of Denmark, and soon in other key…
DNA metabarcoding of dung from rewilded cattle & horses in Denmark reveals dietary differences, suggesting coexistence potential🧬 Winter feeding changed diet compositions, which might affect vegetation development in areas where feeding is supplied🐎 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…
Costa, von der Leyen og Zelenskyy deltager i den officielle åbning af det danske EU-formandskab i Aarhus
📍 Touchdown in Aarhus for the Commission's visit to @eu2025dk Denmark’s fast and focused approach gets things done. And that’s exactly the kind of mindset Europe needs right now. An urgency mindset.
Dear @ZelenskyyUA, Europe will continue to stand firmly by your side. For a just and lasting peace. For a sovereign nation that shapes its own future. For a country that belongs in the European Union ↓

Victoria was a writer. Svitlana was a doctor. Maria was a student. Yulia was a mathematician... all killed by russians.
The fantastic first image from the Biomass satellite, launched this year by the European Space Agency. The glorious false colour represents its P-band imaging, a powerful radar capable of penetrating highest biomass tropical forests for the first time.
Tracking bison in the southern Carpathians I saw this beautiful #butterfly: scarce fritillary-which lives in sunny semi-open tree-rich landscapes (common on evolutionary time scales) & is extinct/highly endangered in NW Europe due to intense land use🦋☀️🌳🌼#extinction #rewilding
My latest story is inspired by papers in @ScienceMagazine and @CellCellPress revealing Homo longi aka 'Dragon Man' was a Denisovan - or is it the other way around? Featuring @FridoWelker & @ChrisStringer65. nationalgeographic.com/history/articl…
I want the world to know: Daria lost her home in Crimea because of russia. She lost her brother, who joined the army in 2014. She lost her mother, who fell ill after her son’s death. And now, she’s lost her home in Kyiv. That’s only one story of one Ukrainian.
This is the house of my friend Daria. She and her daughter survived. This morning, russia hit many residential buildings in Kyiv. We still don't know how many people died. In Odesa, a kindergarten and a center for children with disabilities were attacked. No peace with evil
