🚨 Over 50% of Azorean endemic arthropods are threatened, with several species already extinct. More in our paper: 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.bioc… @cardosopmb @Guida_Santos7 @CE3CResearch @cienciasulisboa #Conservation #Biodiversity #Azores #IUCN #Arthropods
Led by @_Oyarzabal new study @EcographyJourna uses two long-term datasets to find that body size, guild and microhabitat explain temporal variations in the abundance of Azorean arthropods. Results differ between native and exotic species. doi.org/10.1111/ecog.0… @CE3CResearch
Great collaboration led by @_Oyarzabal about long term changes in arthropod groups of the Azores, and how temporal trends are related with certain traits. This study was only possible thanks to the many collaborators who were part of the field campaings and labwork @IslandBiology

Registration are open for the summer course “Island Biogeography and Macroecology”. Angra do Heroismo, Azores, 22 July - 2 August 2024 There are funding oportunities for portuguese and US citizens. Don't miss it! coursehttps://gba.uac.pt/training/ver.php?id=8 @IslandBiology
The first #redlist for mainland #Portugal #invertebrates is finally out! This work presents 200 threatened species, their ecology, distribution, and population trends, identifying the main threats and conservation measures. #OpenAccess in Portuguese. lvinvertebrados.uac.pt/docs/Livro-Ver…

▶️Thousands of hours of work compressed into 352 pages. Finally, we can say that it is out. 🎉Thanks to everyone who made this milestone possible! Especially to @ananovoaperez and Petr Pyšek for sailing this adventure together. @DeptEcology @ecotox_usc doi.org/10.1016/C2021-…
In what may be one of Earth’s craziest forms of mimicry, researchers have discovered a new species of rove beetle that grows a termite puppet on its back to fool real termites into feeding it. scim.ag/46A @NewsfromScience
New work from R. Costa et al. of the @MACRISK_Project finds that island spider origins show complex vertical stratification patterns in Macaronesia: doi.org/10.1111/icad.1… #OpenAccess #Araneae #VerticalStratification #Microhabitats
Who is planning to attend the IBS Biogeography meeting in Prague (Jan 2024))
New work @InsectDiversity where PhD student Ricardo Costa reveals that #Macaronesian #spiders differently use vertical space available, with native non-endemic species found at higher vertical strata than endemic and introduced species. doi.org/10.1111/icad.1… @CE3CResearch
The 2nd edition of the summer school in island biogeography and macroecology (Univ. Azores, Portugal) is on! Two weeks course on island biology, in an international environment, and having Terceira Island as the venue... Priceless! @IslandBiology
We finally have an invertebrate @IUCNRedList for Portugal. #Spider assessments by @VV_Branco @crego2020 and myself. Three endemic species assessed as threatened, but lack of knowledge is still the norm.

Part of MACRISK team is attending the #IslandBiology2023 meeting on Lipari Isl (picture taken in Stromboli). A lot of interesting talks about species extinctions and invasions on 🏝️, focusing on topics related to our own project. Exciting days!
#Bioblitz Azores 2023 was a huge success. Lichen, birds, arthropods, plant experts working with the general public to identify species! Citizen science in action
