Climate niche models underestimate the speed with which species move in response to climate change, according to comparisons between the models and observed shifts for more than 3,500 species. Median rates were four times faster than predicted. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/Mokn50YCqty

We even made the cover & title: "Humans, micro-organisms, fauna, flora... 2100, the Earth, the great biodiversity redistribution has started" This is the April issue of S&V, available in 🇨🇵 bookstores 🤩 @cnrs.fr @upjv-univ.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social

Biodiversity Insurance of Forest Productivity Has Strengthened Under Recent Climate Change 🔗 buff.ly/KP872bb

We are seeking a postoc for simulating future lymnaeid snail and fasciolosis distributions in southern France through a species range shift process-based model. The position is based in Montpellier (France) and the posdoc will be supervised by Annia Alba. 🚨deadline: April 20th

After 4yr of hard work to compare empirical species range positions' shifts from the #BioShifts DB against predictions from niche-based models trained on climate & tailored to methodological attributes of each species & study, we found species shift ahead of models' predictions! 🦋 shorturl.at/vOmCw

Does genetic diversity help species keep up with, or tolerate, climate change? 🌡️🌍 Our new BioShifts paper shows that high genetic diversity 🧬: 1) Reduces range contractions under fast warming 2) Accelerates range expansion under moderate warming onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Nous vous avions présenté un article montrant que les forêts européennes qui présentent une plus grande diversité d’espèces sont plus denses et plus productives, en particulier dans les climats extrêmes :

Genetic diversity shapes climate-driven species redistribution: 🚨Genetic diversity slows species range shifts, especially at the trailing edge and under rapid climate change—consistent with the evolutionary rescue hypothesis. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The thermophilisation rate of plant communities in response to global warming is 5 times faster on alpine summits than in forests or grasslands across 🇪🇺 This finding corroborates former findings on the greater likelihood for upslope than poleward range shifts of plants 🌳🌲☘️🌾🪻🌼 shorturl.at/gc0TJ

Happy to see this work finally out in @globalchangebio.bsky.social ! With @xaviermorin.bsky.social we showed that species richness is a key factor for the stability of forest biomass production 🌲 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

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...

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
