🌾 #FunProd (#BiodivHealth) finds high-intensity farming raises yields but harms biodiversity. Bees boost rape pollination & yields, but predator-driven pest control is less clear. Ecological intensification needs tailored approaches.

🦟 #DIMOC (#BiodivHealth) study in Camargue, France, shows Culex pipiens mosquitoes prefer feeding on Passeriformes, like pigeons & sparrows, along a land-use gradient. Key birds may drive West Nile & Usutu virus spread.

🌊 Spanish Mediterranean MPAs: only 7% highly protected. Partial protection varies, with inconsistent fishing gear rules. Better regulation needed for effective conservation. With #MOVE (#BiodivProtect) and #METRODIVER (#BiodivHealth)

🦟 Birds vs. mosquito virus: Of the importance of balanced species distribution!
#DIMOC (#BiodivHealth) shows higher bird diversity and abundance can raise USUV risk in mosquitoes if species evenness is low.

🐀 Rodents are Toxoplasma gondii reservoirs. #BioRodDis (#BiodivHealth) found 8.9% seroprevalence in Polish rodents via serological tests, despite no DNA via PCR. This shows serology's value & the need for more bio-monitoring in small mammals.

🌊 EU MPAs: Regulations are patchy! #MOVE (#BiodivProtect) and #METRODIVER (#BiodivHealth) show major data gaps, with most activities regulated in <40% of MPA area. We need better data & coordination for effective marine protection.
