🚨 Check out our new study! 🌳🥶 Tree rings show that high-elevation beech forests are experiencing more spring frost damage in recent years @newphyt.bsky.social @yannvit.bsky.social #Phenology #Dendrochronology doi.org/10.1111/nph....

PhD advert alert! Come work with me at Edinburgh. I'm advertising a PhD on: "Predicting responses of birds to climate change", competition funded through the E5 DTP. Would suit those with an interest in predicting responses to climate change, birds, or both. e5-dtp.ed.ac.uk/project?item...

Ce que les soc-dem appellent "casseurs" sont fort probablement des manifestant.e.s comme les autres qui protègent des violences de la police, qui s'attaquent aux symboles d'un capitalisme qui nous tue collectivement et mettent hors d'état de nuire des activités destructrices.

Excited to announce our new paper, “Global impoverishment of natural vegetation revealed by dark diversity,” out today in Nature – and it’s open access! Huge global collaboration led by Meelis Pärtel 🌐@macroecologyut.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌿 The first article of our DarkDivNet consortium, led by Meelis Pärtel, has been published in Nature. Our dataset from 5500 sites in 119 world regions, collected specially for this purpose, shows that plant diversity is negatively affected not only by direct human impact such as local disturbance.

"from 1965 to 2020, nearly half the variation in publication trends among 293 North American male passerine & near-passerine birds was explained by 3 factors subject to human bias: aesthetic salience (visual appeal), range size (familiarity) & number of universities within ranges (accessibility)"

Online now: Shifting, expanding, or contracting? Range movement consequences for biodiversity

Warmer summers are causing European beeches to produce seed more often, depleting the trees’ stored resources—an indirect effect of climate change that is threatening the sustainability of Europe’s most widespread forest tree. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Interesting work by van der Meersch et al. out in Ecology Letters, nicely illustrating that process-based models are more robust than correlative models for predicting species distributions under novel climatic conditions doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Papers like this really underscore the importance of long term monitoring datasets for understanding climate change impacts on biodiversity... And highlight the dire consequences of even modest temperature increases. 🧪🌍🦤🦜 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our paper that showed alternations in masting patterns are leading to growth decline in European beech is now in @PNASNews, as a part of highlighted content; check out that summary! :) Funded by @NCN_PL www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Interested by tree growth, resources allocation and climate change? Have a look in our last study! We showed how tree reproduction is impacting tree growth,. AND... not only drought is responsible of a growth reduction 🤯

Really pleased to announce the publication of my PhD paper in @ecography.bsky.social ! We demonstrate the importance of physiological tolerance traits to frost and drought in understanding the distribution limits of 35 tree species in Europe.🧵 nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🌍📉 Climate change is driving mass extinctions A new meta-analysis in @science.org spanning 30+ years shows 1.6% of ALL species are at risk at 1.3°C warming, rising to 29.7% at 5.4°C. This is very very bad. When will we wake up? 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪🍎 #ClimateCrisis #SciComm

As we approach winter solstice, remember that European beech uses summer solstice to coordinate its masting events all across Europe! Beech seeding is triggered by high summer temps, and all trees across the range measure that after 21st of June. MIND BOGGLING. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rye...

🚨 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

Here's a Mast Seeding Starter Pack. I'm sure I've missed some folks, so let me know if you study masting and want to be added. 🌳 🌲 go.bsky.app/PbBBbuW

New study we published recently in Ecology Letters :) The Relationship Between Maturation Size and Maximum Tree Size From Tropical to Boreal Climates dx.doi.org/10.1111/ele....

As director of CESAB, I'm incredibly proud to share the latest article of our postdocs today in Ecology Letters. 👏 They call for a more ethical academic publishing landscape but also ask to not let only the Early Career Researchers pay the price of this paradigm shift ! doi.org/10.1111/ele.... 🧪🌍
