new paper in @evolappjournal.bsky.social with @felix-zimmermann.bsky.social ! Soil properties – water availability and pH – are strongly associated to the spatial distribution of two hybridizing and sympatric oak species (Quercus spp) at local stand scale. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Must read out in @science.org "Climate change extinctions" by @MarkCUrban (on X) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Big take home: "extinctions will accelerate rapidly if global temperatures exceed 1.5°C. The highest-emission scenario would threaten approximately one-third of species, globally."
