🚨 We are seeking a PhD student to model forest biodiversity trajectories under global change, explicitly accounting for interactions between forest microclimate, forest stand dynamics, and species redistribution. Location: CRBE laboratory in Toulouse (France). emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Docto...

Quelle insolence! Voila maintenant que l’atmosphère nous tire la langue après avoir rasé la moustache! 👀😜

Since early July, my team and I are exploring the forests of the French Pyrenees🌳🌲. Why? We are trying to understand whether beech are adapting to climate change at its elevational trailing and leading edges.

The Response of Carbon Uptake to Soil Moisture Stress: Adaptation to Climatic Aridity 📄 buff.ly/fA7kTkN

A major milestone of our >4-year effort to bring #butterfly diversity and its threat to global attention. We show most species and hotspots cluster in mountains, with #climatechange projected to erode up to 67% of the thermal niche supporting this diversity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌴🌳 Tree species richness increases climate buffering 🌡️🥵 I am so happy to share our latest piece, now published in Ecology Letters! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

A global analysis of altered species compositions and climate change reveals the extent to which ecosystems, including in protected areas and biodiversity hotspots, are exposed to novel conditions due to anthropogenic forces rdcu.be/edTpA

What determines the height of a forest? A study finds that soil properties, topography, and regional climate explain 75% of the variation in tropical forest canopy height. Dry season length and elevation were among the key variables. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Examining life-history differences among vertebrates and their mode of reproduction, Brooks et al. find that land vertebrate life histories are more constrained than aquatic ones, suggesting a wider diversity of reproductive strategies in aquatic habitats than in terrestrial ones

Trees are well-known #climate shelters in cities, but also in #nature 💚🌿 A recent study lead by M.A Perez-Navarro shows that canopies create small oases that better conserve humidity, maintain a more stable temperature and accumulate more water and nutrient reserves ✨

When the same data tells a different story… 📊🔍 You’d think analyzing the same dataset would lead to the same conclusions, but our new BMC Biology study shows otherwise. Different methods - different answers! Why? It's complicated... My experience in the study → 🔗 the3dlab.org/2025/02/06/w...
