Scientific diasporas can accelerate the implementation of global biodiversity goals

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 13 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00055-8Highly skilled scientists who live and work outside of their country of origin build capacity in their home countries from afar. In this Comment, we argue that these ‘scientific diasporas’ have great potential to advance progress in biodiversity conservation.

Fairy slippers employ "deceptive pollination". They offer no nectar or pollen reward, but rely on newly-emerged, naïve young bumblebees to stumble around in their flowers at least twice before the bugs figure out that the shelves are empty, haha. Still gorgeous. #nativeplants 🌿
A bright purple flower has raised petals like a crown and a wide, maroon-spotted lip with some mustache-like hairs. There is a drip of water hanging off the lip. It is like...really pretty.

No Mow May has encouraged people to rethink their gardens and create more biodiversity. But what if there was a way to take this small-scale rewilding concept to the next level? Check out these tips to extend the one-month idea to something more permanent, even if you have a small yard.

Pollinators boost the reproduction of 75% of global crops, contributing up to 8% of total food production 🐝 A study on 24 crops found that higher pollinator abundance increases yields, with stronger effects in temperate regions & conventional farms 🌍🧪 🔗https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.70042

🐦This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay highlighted shared spaces, creating bird-friendly cities for thriving avian diversity. Progressive ecological urban planning shows how biodiversity conservation can be part of sustainable urban transitions.🧪🌍 .—IPBES #GlobalAssessment 📷 @migratoryspecies.bsky.social
Promotional poster for World Migratory Bird Day 2025 with the theme "Shared Spaces: Creating Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities." The illustration shows various bird species coexisting in an urban environment. In the foreground are sunflowers and native plants, with a tall gray crane and a yellow songbird. Multiple birds are shown in flight, including a peregrine falcon, stork, and other urban-adapted species. The background features a cityscape with modern buildings and white clouds against a blue sky. Organization logos appear at the bottom, including CMS, AEWA, EAAFP, and Environment for the Americas, along with a QR code. The artwork style is detailed and naturalistic, emphasizing the interaction between urban and natural elements.

Have been noticing more often that students expect ecology to be an "easy" science course, and often get quite angry when that turns out not to be true (& they don't do as well as the courses they prioritized). Do others get these responses? How did it get this reputation as so much less rigorous?

This #PlantHealthDay, a reminder: plant health depends on biodiversity, yet its decline affects water availability & quality while increasing disease emergence. 🧪 @ipbes.net #NexusAssessment shows these connections are vital for functioning ecosystems. 🌍 Let's protect plant diversity!
A close-up photograph of bright green, glossy jade plant leaves (Crassula ovata) with the IPBES logo in the top left corner. Below the image is text that reads: "Biodiversity loss reduces water availability, increases pathogen emergence and exacerbates some forms of water pollution, undermining human, plant and animal health. SOURCE: IPBES NEXUS ASSESSMENT". The image is framed with a green border at the bottom. The succulent's thick, oval-shaped leaves are shown in sharp detail, highlighting their plump, healthy appearance.
