Wanna know how many non-native species dwell in the worlds' cities? We got you! In a new database paper led by @djli.bsky.social and GUBIC, we counted 'm all! - 8140 species - 553 cities - Winner? Erigeron canadensis, found in a whopping 469 (85%) of these! More -> the3dlab.org/2025/02/24/n...

Thanks all for your trust in me, but I got my twelfth review invitation in seven days... Either you hire me full time as a reviewer, or I'll be declining any invite thrown my way the coming weeks!

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...

🌟 NEW PAPER ALERT! 🌟 Over a decade after my master’s thesis along 3 Norwegian mountain roads, patience has paid off: we now have answers on whether non-native plant species are making rapid upward moves here, as seen elsewhere. Here I break it all down for you: 👉 the3dlab.org/2025/01/09/t...

🌡️⛰️ #microclimate It's quite clear when you think of it, but still nice to see. In high mountains, there is so much spatial microclimate variation in winter and spring, and almost nothing in summer. Individual lines are data from 900 T loggers from a single year. Daily mean temperatures.
