A new theme issue brings together a theory of human evolution and sustainability on Earth to help us understand the past, present and future of human life and discover new opportunities for moving towards #sustainability. Read articles: bit.ly/PTB1893

A new issue of Phil Trans B just landed!
Evolution and Sustainability: Gathering the strands for an Anthropocene synthesis
royalsocietypublishing.org/t…
The issue advances an important and under-studied dimension of human sustainability on a limited planet: evolution.

This Summer I'll teach a new course at @UW entitled Building Cities That Think like Planets. It will be in hybrid format and it is open to non-UW students. I will have an info session on April 20, 12:00 PDT. If interested please DM me and I will share a Zoom link.

Over 80% of the natural asset locations identified as critical for 12 local benefits are also critical for climate regulation benefits at the global scale; together these account for 44% of Earth's lands. Coming off #COP27 and going into #CBDCOP15 we need to find these win-wins!
ALT The overlap between critical natural assets for local benefits to people (optimized by country) and climate benefits (optimized globally), shown in gold, accounts for 24% of global land area. An additional 6% (in green) are critical for local benefits and an additional 14% (in red) are critical for global climate.

The wood-wide web is everywhere: hit TV shows, bestselling books, kids' books, K-12 classrooms. It's probably the most popular idea to emerge from forest science in the last 25 years. But is it real? My investigation for @NYTScience nytimes.com/2022/11/07/scien…

Join the RCN urban eco-evo network tomorrow for their seminar and workshop series! This month @CaizerguesAude will talk about her work on evolution and epigenetics in urban great tits! @ma003 @E_Carlen @ruth_rivkin (zoom link via dm available)

New paper in @ScienceMagazine with @SpicyBotrytis and Jordi Bascompte. We show that a single allele at a single gene can control the coexistence of species in a food web. @UZH_Science @UCDavisPlants @uzh_gcb science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… Thread 👇1/9

Dams cause rapid evolution of riverine fishes - this new paper led by @LiamZarri chronicles the many ways how. @UCSC_Fisheries academic.oup.com/bioscience/…

A 🧵(1 of 8) about our new paper which has been a LooooNG time coming. In "Light and flow regimes regulate the metabolism of rivers" pnas.org/content/119/8/e2121… we compare annual rates of river and terrestrial ecosystem metabolism from hundreds of sites.

Excited about this paper on urban-rural clines in melanism in gray squirrels with community science data from 43 cities. Squirrel melanism more prevalent in cities, but the strength of clines depended on city characteristics: size, climate, & forest cover nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

There's a clear need to think strategically about layering urban adaptation solutions that can lead to greater #resilience, says a recent @TheLancetPlanet Viewpoint led by @LinScientist @CSIRO with SRC's Thomas Elmqvist, Erik Andersson & @timonmcphearson.buff.ly/2XCDbdN
