Do you care about undescribed biodiversity?

Feel like more and more new plant species are already threatened with extinction?

Need a reminder of why taxonomy continues to play a key role in science?

Check out our new paper, where we show that a whopping 75% of plants described after 2020 are threatened 🌿

If you're describing new species, assume they're threatened and, if poss, assess them straight away!

60 years of increasing #extinctionrisk, effective fisheries management has recovered tunas & billfishes, yet #extinctionrisk continues to increase for sharks.
We need to act now!

New to mastodon 👋

I'm a master's student at Simon Fraser University near Vancouver, BC. I am studying something I like to call metabolic morphology where I try to uncover relationships between morphological traits and #metabolism and vital rates in #sharks 🦈. #ecology #evolution #MarineBiology #populationdynamics #extinctionrisk
