Tree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes. Belen Fadrique leads our analysis in @natecoevo.nature.com w/ 400 plots + 40 years of RAINFOR records. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.

New deadline: February 4th Still time to apply! www.liverpool.ac.uk/courses/expl...

Very happy to share this new article on Andes-Amazon tree diversity change. We found that over the last 4 decades, tree richness changed differently across the Andes-Amazon regions. Thanks to the many researchers across the world who made this possible! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Keep reading!

Apply for this fully funded PhD studentship in Tropical mountain forest ecology! Join us at University of Liverpool to carry out research on plant range shifts in the cloud forests. With: @fdraper.bsky.social @funkyant.bsky.social @jhomeier.bsky.social. Applications due Jan 21. tinyurl.com/23ary845

Based in Liverpool, UK with me & @belenfadrique.bsky.social. You'll also be registered at Kew & spend time working there during your PhD. International applicants *very welcome* & eligible for funding. Tips & advice on applying via the @acce-dla.bsky.social link above. Contact me with questions!

🚨 Funded PhD 🚨 How does the reproduction of trees respond to drought? How does this shape forest resilience to drought? Join us in Liverpool & Kew Gardens @rbgkew.bsky.social to answer this question! Details & application info here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... Deadline: 7th January 🌳🌰🌲🌱🌤️🌡️

Great day spent with my brilliant new(ish) colleague @belenfadrique.bsky.social installing a branch warming experiment at Ness Botantic Gardens, replicated across Europe. Testing how the solstice enables beech to synchronise fruit production (masting). Results next spring… doi.org/10.1038/s414...

New paper! Collaborative work to synthesize ideas about climate-change driven species redistribution -- it took 2 years, but we're super excited to see it out! @afredston.bsky.social has all the details below.

Change is driving species on the move across time and space and we need to understand the entireity of that picture! Truly a pleasure to work with @afredston.bsky.social, @mwtingley.bsky.social, and many others over the past two years to bring this conceptual vision to fruition! tinyurl.com/5n96tz3a

what is it REALLY like to be a #speciesonthemove? @mwtingley.bsky.social, @mhcneateclegg.bsky.social, Luke Evans, Brett Scheffers, an incredible team of co-authors, and I took a deep dive into this question. we argue that thermal gradients are all around us—in space and time...

Excellent new paper investigating changes in plant composition through time in the Arctic! Very impressive dataset! Thanks @nanitundra.bsky.social for leading this and getting me involved on a familiar question in an unfamiliar environment.

Last week to apply! PhD studentship in Tropical mountain forest ecology🌄 Funds secured! Join us at University of Liverpool to understand how climate change will challenge Andean tree reproduction. tinyurl.com/mr35spbj

If you want to find more about this position, find me tomorrow at #BES2024!

🚨 #PhD alert! Can #tropical trees migrate up mountains to track climate change? 🌳🌱⛰️ If they can’t, extinction may follow. Help us answer this question, working in tropical forests in the #Andes. Amazing fieldwork opportunities, & mega team led by @belenfadrique.bsky.social. tinyurl.com/mr35spbj

🚨 Funded PhD opportunity: forests & climate change Drought reduces growth, triggers dieback & can kill trees, but how does it affect tree reproduction? Help us answer this question! Join a great team in Liverpool & Kew, inc. @belenfadrique.bsky.social 🌳🌱🌲 Deadline = Jan Info: tinyurl.com/3z9z3ad6

Come and work with us on the effects of climate extremes on tree reproduction! PhD position within the ACCE+DLA program: University of Liverpool & Kew Gardens. Supervised by @andrewhacket-pain.bsky.social, Dr. Louise Colville, Dr. Charlotte Seal and myself! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Exciting updates! In January 2025 I will start at University of Liverpool as a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow. I will build a team to work on montane forests across the tropics! Several positions (tropical and temperate) coming up soon! Join our growing forest ecology group at Liverpool!
