Super, wenn kenntnisreiche Wissenschaftler Prioritäten so klar formulieren, wie @FranzEssl1 @derStandardat: derstandard.at/story/3000000…

Ohne Natur keine Wirtschaft

Den Umweltschutz einzuschränken ist eine Retro-Politik, die wir uns nicht leisten können

1️⃣ 🌍 Fresh out in #Science! The Asian tropics are among the most biodiverse places on Earth, but where does all that diversity come from? 🤔🔍 We used 🌴 phylogenomics and 🦴 new fossils to unravel the roles of different regions in generating and distributing species! #Evolution
