Now as preprint: Same garden - different chemistry. 🌿 Across Populus trichocarpa genotypes, leaf #metabolomes still reflected climate and geographic origin, revealing hidden chemical signatures of adaptation. @sunsicker.bsky.social @mopinger.bsky.social @chemodiversity.bsky.social #PlantScience

Good news! #Biodiversity🦜🐜🐒🐸 in a tropical #rainforest 🌴🇪🇨can naturally recover quickly 📈 (if the conditions are suitable = enough surrounding forest). Our new study in #Nature #forestecol #restoration @jocotoco.bsky.social www.reassembly.de/posts/recove... www.reassembly.de/news/rainfor...

Huge congratulations to Pamela Medina van Berkum on successfully defending her PhD! Supervised by @sunsicker.bsky.social and Jonathan Gershenzon, her work on how plant biodiversity shapes chemical defenses bridges ecology, chemistry, and evolution. Pam is now part of Sybille’s group at @uni-kiel.de.

⭐️Shortlisted for the 2024 Haldane Prize!⭐ Pamela Medina-van Berkum explored whether introduced ribwort plantain populations differed from native populations in growth and chemical defence traits🛡️

Fellow Ecologists, The #gfoe2025 @gfoesoc.bsky.social call for papers has just been published. Please submit your abstracts for exciting talks and engaging posters to present in Würzburg in September! gfoe-conference.de/index.php?ca... @uni-wuerzburg.de @globalchangeeco.bsky.social

Tropical ecologists on Bluesky - where are you? Let's network. go.bsky.app/5B14mCT There's one by Emilio on plants too: go.bsky.app/FSQE1vP

Warum koexistieren in artenreichen Wäldern so viele Baumarten und wie hängt dies mit bestimmten räumlichen Mustern der Baumarten zusammen? Ein vom #UFZ geleitetes internationales Team hat unerwartete Muster in der räumlichen Verteilung von Baumarten entdeckt. @nature.com www.ufz.de/index.php?de...

The GEOMAR seagrass team is hiring. Time to make coastal restoration long-term sustainable. A fully funded 4-yr PhD position on eelgrass seascape genomics in the Baltic Sea, further details see here www.geomar.de/en/karriere/... @geomarkiel.bsky.social DM me for inquiries

I am thrilled that this study by my former PhD student and current postdoc Chrisin Walther is now published in Ecology Letters! Congratulations Tine!!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
