Key Biodiversity Areas have been designated based on only 2% of terrestrial species. Yet if more and more species are added, then everywhere becomes a priority area. Read our new paper where we call for data-driven prioritisation @FarooqHarith @FaurbySoren tinyurl.com/3h9x5vt2

@jgeldmann It just doesn't understand the concept of citation. It just learned how they look on the articles and writes text to look similar to them 😅 There are other Ai engines that will give you the text with real citations though!

@_jana_schultz @Macroecology @Noguesbravo @jgeldmann @AFI_WUR Have fun in the 🇳🇱! It was nice sharing the office with you even though you weren’t supposed to be there 🤣

After two years, 8453 R errors, and 7563 slack messages, it finally happened! Our reviews on Malagasy biodiversity are out in @ScienceMagazine! 😀@KewScience @TeamKMCC @antonelli_lab @GGBC_GU @FieldMuseum et al. Read them: bit.ly/3B2d5RX & bit.ly/3XNWx9S

@westo_fernnerd @pimientoc @ScienceMagazine @KewScience @TeamKMCC @antonelli_lab @GGBC_GU @FieldMuseum Amen!

PMCs were vital to the survival of #CaboDelgado – #DAG “What we did achieve was to ensure insurgents didn’t get in to Pemba. They were at the gates of Pemba” defenceweb.co.za/featured/pmcs-…

ISCAP claims an attack on 13/01/2022 in Sitati (?), about 60 houses burned and an attack on Friday 14/01/2022 in Pitolha, 20 houses burned down, both in #Meluco district. They also claim to have captured and killed 3 members of the militia, in Nova Zambezia, #Macomia district

#Luneke village, located at the epicenter of the #Nangade District , was attacked by insurgents around noon. Because of this attack, traffic between Mueda to Nangade was interrupted. It is recalled that for days the Joint Armed Forces activated alert level 5 and relentlessly

Species perceived to be dangerous are more likely to have distinctive local names!! Check out our recent study led by @FarooqHarith Open Access at ethnobiomed.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… @GGBC_GU @KewScience @Naturvetenskap #biodiversity

Extinct or just shy? Just because a species hasn’t been seen in a long time doesn’t mean it is gone! Listen to GGBC’er @FarooqHarith on @SRvetenskap in an extended interview today about the project. @antonelli_lab @Naturvetenskap @goteborgsuni sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/forlor…

"One sentence in a book leads researchers to a species not seen in over 100 years" in @TC_Africa. Lab members @FarooqHarith & @DrSlimeMold wrote about how the students in their #ExtinctOrShy project finally found a montane skink in Mozambique!! @GGBC_GU theconversation.com/one-sentence-i…

Forskare hittade sällsynt ödla - efter 100 år. En nästan hundra år gammal anteckning ledde forskare till en art som inte setts på mer än ett sekel. Nu får ödlan ”montane skink” åter strålkastarljuset på sig. @DrSlimeMold @FarooqHarith @goteborgsuni bit.ly/3BFLuU3

Our article on the #ExtinctOrShy skink find is getting attention! So cool to see how many people are excited about this little critter, drawing attention to just how much scientists still have to learn (& re-learn) about #biodiversity and data-deficient species.

@ForrestGalante Thank you for posting this 🙏

For more than 100 years, nobody was sure whether the montane skink, a lizard, was extinct or just very good at hiding. It was last spotted in Mozambique in 1918. Now, thanks to a combination of field work and detective skills, the mystery is solved. bit.ly/3bfn8pr

For @FarooqHarith et al's publication on Mapping Africa's biodiversity: academic.oup.com/sysbio/article…

Very excited that the @NHM_London posted a piece on our recent @CommsBio publication and ties it in nicely with @FarooqHarith and co-authors' publication in Systematic Biology on Mapping Africa's Biodiversity (link to papers below) nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/…
