#Biodiversity doesn’t follow borders — but #conservation policy still does. A new policy brief, inspired by Haubrock et al. (2026), calls for cross-border coordination, open ecological data, and stronger early warning to tackle #InvasiveSpecies. Supported by #GuardIAS

📢 PAPER ALERT🚨
A new study co‑authored by Maria Grazia Pennino reveals how global warming is driving major shifts in size at maturity in European hake. Nearly 100 years of data show clear biological responses to rising temperatures.

🔍 This spatial–temporal ecosystem model provides a holistic view of how marine heatwaves disrupt trophic dynamics. A powerful tool to guide adaptive management as extreme warming events become more common.

🌍 A striking north–south dipole emerges: while northern regions show neutral or even positive responses, the south (Alboran & Algerian seas) experiences strong, consistent declines across the food web.
📢 PAPER ALERT 🚨
A new study led by Camila Artana and Andrea Kaplan reveals how marine heatwaves are reshaping Western Mediterranean ecosystems. Their frequency, intensity, and depth are rising fast — with major ecological consequences.
