AbstractThe elemental content of life is a key trait shaping ecology and evolution, yet organismal stoichiometry has largely been studied on a case-by-case basis. This limitation has hindered our ability to identify broad patterns and mechanisms across taxa and ecosystems. To address this, we present StoichLife, a global dataset of 28,049 records from 5,876 species spanning terrestrial, freshwater, and marine realms.

Introduction To bend the curve on biodiversity loss and enable threatened wild populations to recover, the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, signed by nearly 200 parties and adopted in December 2022 (CBD, 2022), outlines ambitious targets and goals for the coming decades. Realising that ambition will not only benefit biodiversity but also – directly or indirectly – all of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Summary Strong paleoclimatic change and few Late Quaternary megafauna extinctions make mainland Africa unique among continents. Here, we hypothesize that, compared with elsewhere, these conditions created the ecological opportunity for the macroevolution and geographic distribution of large fruits.
