Well, I guess this is my first ever piece of breaking news - probably the biggest rare plant story in Australia this year. Over at @tasinquirer.bsky.social. tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/very-ex...

The first paper from my PhD is now out in the world 🌲📖 Modelling forest dynamics using IPMs and repeat lidar doi.org/10.1002/rse2...

Exciting research environment in a great team and a lovely working space

What happens when trees lose the ability to cool their leaves? 🌳 Although trees can acclimate to heat, drought disrupts thermoregulation, driving a hydraulic–thermal cascade and leaf scorching. 🍂 Just out in PNAS doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Even trees can get serious sunburn. A new study by a WSL-EPFL team shows how #heat and #drought affect #trees and how they sustain damage when the two are combined. This helps us understand how they will react to a changing climate: www.wsl.ch/en/news/when...

🌿🌳Our new paper, led by the brillant @alyssakullberg.bsky.social, shows that trees acclimate to warming by preserving thermoregulation. Yet, with hot droughts, higher thermotolerance cannot compensate when hydraulic stress prevents leaf cooling. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @wslresearch.bsky.social

Genetic diversity matters for species on the move in response to climate change ⬇️ We found that genetic diversity interacts w/ the velocity of climate change to explain the velocity at which species shift their range positions over time shorturl.at/682E3

In this week’s episode, we talk with Ella Burgun about her Master’s research in forensic shark genetics, using molecular tools to identify species in liver and fish oils, the risks to deep‑sea sharks like gulpers, and her new sci‑comm role at Echoview. 🌊✨ #Tasmania #scicomm #stemmpodcast

🌳PhD Opportunity in plant ecophysiology🌡️ Join EPFL (Switzerland) for fully-funded 4yr PhD on tree responses to air drought and heat. Climate chamber + long-term experiments to uncover physiological thresholds under climate change. www.epfl.ch/labs/perl/pe...

I hear from friends in WA, where the trees are dying. I hear of the loss in the Adelaide Hills. I see it here in Central VIC. I see it across the higher mountains. The fact that ecologists still manage to function in the face of ongoing loss is a daily miracle. theconversation.com/yes-forest-t...

Are you a PhD-level #wildlife ecologist committed to research and education for #biodiversity and nature restoration? Our group at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social has a #vacancy for an assistant professor! Deadline for applications is February 19. Please spread the word. www.uu.nl/en/organisat...

Abstracts due Jan 15th, join us at EGU!! 😄

Come and work with us! Please share widely! Applications close 18 January 2026 at 11.55pm. www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43... @ecolsocaus.bsky.social @deakinuniversity.bsky.social

With the disappointing progress at Cop30, evergreen reminder it isn't "we" or "humanity" failing to address the climate crisis — oil-producing nations and fossil fuel interests are actively obstructing action, despite heroic efforts by developing nations, Indigenous peoples, and many, many others.

Two of the most common climate misconceptions I see, even among knowledgeable folks, are that (1) most people aren't worried about climate change, and (2) if they were, they'd act. Not true! Data show (1) most people are worried, but (2) they won’t act if they don’t know what to do-and most don’t.
