1/4 📢 Hiring: 2-year #postdoc at @au.dk 🌿 #Large-herbivore #ecology | #trophic #rewilding | #novel #ecosystems Join #ECONOVO to explore how alien & feral #ungulates shape biodiversity and ecosystem complexity in a changing world 🌍 👇

Today at @au.dk, we have the privilege of hosting #MatchPoints26, where we will spend the day contemplating #resilience. At @econovoau.bsky.social, we are honoured to host a session on #biodiversity resilience and its challenges regarding #biodiversity and #human–environment relationships.

Landscape changes across Europe are reshaping vegetation structure and light conditions. At the next wildE Green Shoots webinar, @econovoau.bsky.social, me, and @Robert will share results from our pan-European assessment of light–diversity mismatches. Looking forward to seeing many of you there!

Hurray - new paper out in Functional Ecology! @funecology.bsky.social @econovoau.bsky.social 
Wild large herbivores promote plant diversity and functional redundancy by reducing dominance: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 1/5

Check out our new letter in Conservation Biology where we argue that (re-)introduced large herbivores are often wrongly framed as harmful because herbivory is automatically equated with ecological damage - overlooking their potential to restore biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

🌱Naturen har det med at finde en vej. @jcsvenning.bsky.social @econovoau.bsky.social, er blandt talerne på konference om Europas resiliens den 7. maj på @au.dk. Svenning mener, at inspirationen til Europas modstandskraft måske ligefrem kan findes i naturen selv.🌞👇 www.au.dk/nyheder/arti...

On World Rewilding Day, we are celebrating the first ECONOVO @dg.dk-funded PhD 🎉. Today @jonastrepel.bsky.social passed his thesis on Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere: Large Herbivores as Drivers of Vegetation Structure and Plant Diversity with flying colors and 6 months ahead of time 👏!

@elenapearce.bsky.social, affiliated researcher at #ECONOVO, is cycling from London to Singapore! In Tajikistan’s remote Bartang Valley, Elena rode through broken roads, river crossings, and scattered villages to learn how herders live alongside wolves and the rare snow leopard. #ECONOVO

🚨 New paper!🚨 Our postdoc @atengstedt.bsky.social and colleagues just published a PNAS study presenting a genomics‑informed framework for deciding when genetic rescue is likely to work🌱 Even moderate genomic data can give conservation teams the confidence they need to act faster and smarter!💡
