#Climatechange may soon cause a catastrophic loss of global #biodiversity.

The authors analyse global-scale resurvey data for 5,151 species to reveal the sensitivity of tropical versus temperate species to climate change. They show significantly higher frequencies of local extinction in temperate species than in tropical species, linked to faster warming at high latitudes.

Happy Solstice everyone!
In keeping with tradition, I harvested garlic this morning, on the longest day of the year. Not for tradition's sake but because I could see that it was ready to be harvested.

This is mittens' public service announcement for today:
With the heatwave still lingering over much of Europe please make sure you stay safe and hydrated out there. Try shifting your activities outdoors to the morning hours when it's still rather cool outside. Drink much water, tea or unsweetened juices. Depending on your level of activity two to three times your usual intake should do. Keep to the shadows. Wear a hat. And use sunscreen.
