Happy to see our paper out! 🎉 We assess the relative roles of past/present environmental & anthropogenic drivers shaping functional & phylogenetic diversity in Mediterranean forests, highlighting the key role of past climate stability 🌳 ➡️https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/geb.70177 (1/8)

Today let's meet 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢! This species endemic to Cyprus, where it is the national tree, is commonly referred to as the golden oak because of the outstanding golden color of the lower surface of its leaves.

📢 The new INTEGRADIV ( @biodiversa.eu ) #Newsletter is out! ⌨️Catch up on our first published paper, attended conferences, fresh research highlights, and much more. 👉 Read it here: sh1.sendinblue.com/vh4mkq0slpfe...

New on European conservation science: Survey shows that Mediterranean stakeholders agree on priorities: regulating ecosystem services, taxonomic diversity & nature’s value. Building on this consensus can boost conservation action. Hernández-Agüero et al. in Cons. Letters doi.org/10.1111/conl...

New output from our @biodiversa.eu project! Do you remember all those field trips to sample trees? You can find the results here! An updated Woodiv database: 210 species🌲occurreces at a 10 km res in the Euro-Mediterranean Basin. 17 functional traits and a time-calibrated phylogeny. 👌 Link here 👇

Today on #WeeklyIntegradivSp we meet the Pearly Heath (𝘊𝘰𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘩𝘢 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢). It is found in forest edges, clearings, and grassy slopes throughout much of Europe. The species name “arcania” is derived from the Latin arcanus, meaning secret or mysterious, maybe because of its flight and shy nature.

Our new data paper on the WOODIV database version 2 is now out in Scientific Data: "𝑾𝑶𝑶𝑫𝑰𝑽 𝒗2, 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒄𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔, 𝒇𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆-𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒉𝒚𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑬𝒖𝒓𝒐-𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔" 🌳 A contribution from @integradiv.bsky.social --> dx.doi.org/10.1038/s415...

We're back on the field for @integradiv.bsky.social! Yesterday was the first day of BVOCs sampling in 2025. Nice sites in the Maures, with new species to complete our database!

🌱Faire bouger les lignes pour protéger les forêts, c'est le sens de notre tribune aujourd'hui publiée dans @lesechosfr.bsky.social Scientifiques, personnalités publiques, ONG & entreprises, ensemble nous appelons à un changement de cap de la politique forestière. www.canopee.ong/le-media/poi...

Today in #WeeklyIntegradivSp let's meet 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘴! The mediterranean dwarf palm 🌴 is one of the only two indigeneous palm species in Europe. Endemic to the Western #Mediterranean Basin where in some places it is a pivotal component of coastal woodlands. Photos of Valencia and Mallorca.

Today on #WeeklyIntegradivSp we meet 𝘗𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘶𝘴🦎Found in the Iberian Peninsula & North Africa. Its genus is phylogenetically unique, with its closest relative 𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘢, endemic to the Canary Islands. Preserving species like this helps conserve 15+ million years of evolutionionary history.🌿

Today we launch #WeeklyIntegradivSp. A new species every week! Let's meet 𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘢! The carob tree has been dispersed by human societies across the #Mediterranean Basin for milienias. Indeed, it is widely cultivated for its edible pods which can be used as a substitute for cocoa powder!

The Annual Meeting of INTEGRADIV (@biodiversaplus.bsky.social) has wrapped up! 🎉 We had an amazing time discussing our progress with colleagues from: 🇬🇷 Ioannina Uni 🇫🇷 @univ-amu.fr & AIFM & LPO 🇮🇹 Genoa Uni 🇪🇸 @ua.es 🇳🇱 @vuamsterdam.bsky.social 🇩🇰 Aarhus Natural Museum and @au.dk (our wonderful hosts!)

It may not be the #Mediterranean, but I had an absolute blast exploring the #rewilding sites with the amazing @integradiv.bsky.social team at Molslaboratorien! What an adventure! 🌿✨

🌍💡 This #EarthHour, let’s switch off the lights for nature! 🌑✨ Artificial light at night disrupts ecosystems, affecting for example the 233 butterfly species we study in our Biodiversa+ project. 🦋🌿 Turn off the lights & protect biodiversity! 🌎💚 #LightsOut #Biodiversity #Conservation #Butterflies

Today is priorization and stakeholders engagement day for the @integradiv.bsky.social project! @biodiversaplus.bsky.social

Yes, we did it!

We’re on our off! Thrilled to have the entire @integradiv.bsky.social project team gathered at @au.dk. Big thanks to our amazing host, @aiasdk.bsky.social! Get ready for two days filled with dynamic discussions as we map out the exciting next 1.5 years of our project. Let the adventure begin!

Let's start integradiv annual meeting in Aarhus with a presentation of the post docs to econovo team!
