📰|NEW STUDI| @ScienceMagazine 🐁🦖Dwarfs and giants on islands more likely to go extinct. The study also shows that Higher extinction rates of insular mammals after arrival of modern humans. ℹ️bit.ly/3LlXx10 CC: @idiv @UniHalle @ebdonana #IMEDEA

A dwarf elephant the size of a Shetland pony once roamed the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. In the West Indies, a giant rat-like rodent tipped the scales at more than 400 pounds (180 kg), rivaling an American black bear. reut.rs/3T30qWm

Islands🏝️+ mammals🐘🐃🐭+ body size evolution⚖️+ extinctions 🦤 Excited to share our paper ‘Dwarfism and gigantism drive human-mediated extinctions on islands’, published today in @ScienceMagazine @NewsfromScience #ScienceResearch science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… a🧵👇

Ever wondered about island oddities that got really big (rodents of unusual size) or small (tiny elephants) compared to mainland ancestors? Led by @Rozzi_Roberto, we found the most extreme giants and dwarfs were most likely to go extinct (or be endangered) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@Jovialbart @adriane_tobias @LauraMendezCue @TheresaJoergerH @Polycam3D Looks promising. Thanks!

@adriane_tobias @LauraMendezCue @TheresaJoergerH Depends a bit on the scale of the project. We use forestscanner, the 3d scanner app (which we use most) and sitescape. An optimal app with all features helpful for specimen collection remains yet to be programmed!

Want a 3D-model of habit and habitat with your specimen? Your phone can probably collect it in the field within minutes. Check out our ideas & experience with LiDAR sensor from smartphones hot off the press: doi.org/10.1002/tax.12… @LauraMendezCue @TheresaJoergerH

This figure shows the @IUCNRedList status of species in Madagascar. About a third of plants are not assessed, so we used IUCNN deep learning to predict their threat status (more on the method here by @BiodivRsity et al.: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…).
