The intersections between biodiversity responses, human well-being and climate change
Climate change is already having profound impacts on ecosystem functioning and services, while affecting living organisms and contributing to biodiversity decline.
Podcasts
Since March 2022, LifeWatch ERIC has started broadcasting a regular series of podcasts on the Internal Joint Initiative, open conversations with key personnel within the infrastructure, the scientists behind the validation cases, and other Research Institutes who have benefited from our Tesseract technologies in their own investigation of biodiversity and ecosystems in Europe. Since then, the scope of LifeWatch ERIC podcasts has become progressively wider, and many episodes were released on a number of relevant themes connected to biodiversity and ecosystem research.
All episodes are available on this page, and are sortable by simply clicking on the categories listed below. As well as finding the podcasts below, you can also listen on the following platforms.
The British Ecological Society: a personal view
The British Ecological Society is the world's first ecological society, founded in 1913 and it published the first scientific journal in ecology, called The Journal of Ecology.
The need to conserve and manage biodiversity
Humans represent most of the biomass of mammals on the planet, and we are eating a lot of resources, consuming 30% of what our planet can produce, and that is
How is Biodiversity organised and maintained?
The organisation of ecosystems is related to fundamental drivers of energy availability, disturbance intensity, and periodicity, among others, not just the species found in a given system or the resources
Polychaete research offers environmental and commercial opportunities
Polychaete, beyond fishing and aquaculture, have uses, such as the biosynthesis of nanoparticles and applications in human medicine, with the potential to combine ecosystem conservation with employment opportunities.
What is Biodiversity?
What we take for granted, what we observe in nature, has actually developed through natural selection and evolution, against all reasonable odds, over the 3.7 billion years of life on
