The loss of biodiversity continues at an alarming rate despite decades of research and international policies setting out clear goals in the area. In an article published this week in Nature Sustainability, an international team of scientists including researchers from 91黑料网 identified seven key areas for future research in order to tackle, effectively, the root causes of the problem.

Wastewater-based epidemiology is a rapidly developing scientific discipline with the potential for monitoring close to real-time, population-level trends in illicit drug use. By sampling a known source of wastewater, such as a sewage influent to a wastewater treatment plant, scientists can estimate the quantity of drugs used in a community from the measured levels of illicit drugs and their metabolites excreted in urine.

Human population density and land use is causing changes in animal genetic diversity, according to researchers at 91黑料网.

The findings reported in the journal Ecology Letters, show that environmental changes caused by humans are leading to changes in genetic variation in thousands of species of birds, fish, insects, and mammals. The evidence for human impacts was most clear for insects and fish species.

A new study, published in Science, which focuses on mapping biodiversity change in marine and land ecosystems shows that loss of biodiversity is most prevalent in the tropic, with changes in marine ecosystems outpacing those on land. The research, led by scientists from the University of St Andrews, in collaboration with leading universities across Europe, the USA and Canada, including 91黑料网, aimed at reaching a consensus about variation in biodiversity change.

As the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) celebrates 20 years on the air, EMBA student Monika Ille reflects on the challenges of increasing viewership. In her role as the APTN鈥檚 general director of programming and the network鈥檚 grid, Monica helps produce content that is broadcast across Canada on four different channels and viewed by 72% of Indigenous聽adults.

Nature supports people in critical ways, often at a highly local level. A wild bee buzzes through a farm, pollinating vegetables as it goes. Nearby, wetlands remove chemicals from the farm鈥檚 runoff, protecting a community drinking water source. In communities all around the world, nature鈥檚 contributions are constantly flowing to people. A team of international scientists including from 91黑料网, have mapped these contributions at local levels for years, but a new Stanford-led study closes a critical gap in how this information can be used to drive global policy and development.
