🌍 A new policy brief from the PollinERA Project calls for a smarter and more regional approach to EU #pesticide regulation. 📖 Read the full brief in our journal or within PollinERA's open-access collection: https://lnkd.in/d9aVN826 https://lnkd.in/dEnTDWE4 ⬇️ Check out our latest blog post to find out more: https://lnkd.in/dSqTyVw4

🚀 Global collaboration and the internet have transformed how scientific research is shared. 📈 To match this shift, we need modern ways to measure the impact of science online, but current web data is often messy, unorganised, and easy to manipulate. 🗺️ A new European project is stepping in to make online research metrics cleaner and more reliable. ➡️ Read the full grant proposal in our #openscience journal: https://lnkd.in/gqc_aepr Cc: Univerzitet u Novom Sadu, ZBW - Leibniz-Informationszentrum Wirtschaft / ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, University of Luxembourg, Turun yliopisto - University of Turku, Ss.

💻 CAgriLab is a new platform that enables real-time data sharing, helping farmers and researchers adapt sustainable practices to local conditions. 📈 Its goal is to speed up the transition to regenerative farming by making successful strategies easier to scale. 📌 Funded by the Horizon Europe programme. 📖 Read the full grant proposal in our #openscience journal here: https://lnkd.in/dHF4vMHX Cc: Häme University of Applied Sciences, HAMK, ZBW - Leibniz-Informationszentrum Wirtschaft / ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, Technological University of the Shannon, Poznańskie Centrum Superkomputerowo-Sieciowe

🔍 The COMPLIAS project is improving Romania's national management system for invasive alien species to meet strict EU requirements. 🛡️ This initiative focuses on protecting local biodiversity by creating a more effective framework for identifying and managing non-native species that threaten ecosystems. 📌 The research is funded through the Recovery and Resilience Facility as part of Romania's National Recovery and Resilience Plan. 📖 Read the full grant proposal in our #openscience journal: https://lnkd.in/d-gDze9c #InvasiveSpecies #Biodiversity Cc: University of Bucharest, Universitatea OVIDIUS din Constanta

🌍 “Migration for scientists should be a personal choice, not the only path to a successful career.” 🧠 This forum paper reflects on the "brain drain" phenomenon and its impact on intellectual capital in the Global South. 🔍 Discussion focuses on the systemic barriers - from funding gaps to language hurdles - that often force highly skilled professionals to leave their home countries. 📖 Read the full reflection in our #openscience journal: https://lnkd.in/dpb7_sZw 📷 Image: A brain drain model in which insufficient policies and investment in science and technology, often associated with political and economic instability, limit research and career opportunities, motivating the emigration of highly skilled professionals to Global North countries and reducing the human capital in the countries of origin. #ScientificDiaspora #ResearchEquity Cc: UC Irvine, Wageningen University & Research, Universidade dos Açores, University of Regina, Universidad Veracruzana, Universidad Santo Tomás (CL), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam)

🧬 This project report focuses on bridging the gap in biodiversity genomics by harmonising data from simple DNA barcodes to complex reference genomes. 📊 The project streamlines how researchers manage genomic data to ensure it is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). 📌 Part of the Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) project. 📖 Read the full project report in our #openscience journal: https://lnkd.in/dx-YytDg 📷 Image: Commonalities in data flows between barcoding and reference genome sequencing for biodiversity. #Biodiversity #Genomics Cc: Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico (CNAG), Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change, The University of Manchester SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Earlham Institute, BIOPOLIS-CIBIO, Wellcome Genome Campus, University of Lodz, EMBL, Naturalis Biodiversity Center

🧬 Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) is accelerating the use of genomic science to address the European biodiversity crisis. 📊 This project brings together the two main streams of genomic research - DNA barcoding and genome sequencing - to create a unified framework for monitoring species. 🌍 The initiative is designed to support the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 by providing the data required for effective #conservation and #restoration. 🤝 Coordinated by Dimitris Koureas from Naturalis Biodiversity Center. 📌 Funded by the Horizon Europe research and innovation program. 📖 Check out the abridged grant proposal in our #openscience journal: https://lnkd.in/dgiEzmpr

⛰️ Did you know that mountain ecosystems are shifting from #biodiversity refuges to zones of loss as the planet warms? 📉 This #commentary explores how species are forced to move upslope to find suitable climates, eventually hitting absolute ecological limits: https://lnkd.in/drprc2z5 🤝 This research is authored by Dominic Wanke and Daniel Whitmore from the Stuttgart State Museum of Natural History. 🏛️ The work is supported by the Center of Excellence for Biodiversity and Integrative Taxonomy (KomBioTa).

📜 New research reveals the hidden impact of trading houses on global #museum collections. 🏢 This workshop report focuses on J.F.G. Umlauff, a family company that supplied zoological and ethnographic specimens to museums worldwide for nearly a century. 📌 This research was part of a broader #interdisciplinary effort supported by multiple international institutions, including Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and Universität Trier. 📖 Read the full open-access workshop report for the complete findings: https://lnkd.in/dAvr59Ub

⚖️ Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and open science laws are creating a complex landscape for biodiversity research. ➡️ This commentary explores how legal hurdles like unclear data rights and third-party IPR can turn straightforward scientific exchange into a frustrating experience: https://lnkd.in/djSgu_tj Museum für Naturkunde Berlin
