📰Published📰 Do impacts of warming in space equal impacts of warming in time? @rebeccalovell.bsky.social fesummaries.wordpress.com/2025/01/29/d...

Amazing #Tansley #Review from Barnabas Daru on harnessing #herbarium data 🌿🌾☘🌸 to track hidden dimensions of plant biogeography, including plant redistribution: #species #range #shifts ⬇️ @newphyt.bsky.social shorturl.at/7epYs

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Women will continue moving forward — not only for ourselves but for the next generation that will inherit our efforts and build upon them. The status quo is not an option" Kaori Hayashi is the executive vice-president of the University of Tokyo https://go.nature.com/4jTowA0

We are making a brand new #Museomics Lab at NHM Denmark, University of Copenhagen - working with DNA from museum & herbarium specimens. We are looking for a lab manager to join us - unlocking the amazing potential of our collections for global change 🌐 and #conservationgenomics research

‘Not being fluent in English is often viewed as being an inferior scientist’ @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social Very true; I had this experience. I think the problem is more in scientific meetings (ie speaking) than in writing papers (easier to learn or to ask for help) 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Interested in making fieldwork safe and inclusive? Come to this European Geosciences Union webinar this Tuesday, tackling the topics of discrimination, harassment, and safety in fieldwork. The other speakers will be talking about their field safety training programmes which look excellent!

Cool @science.org issue this week with a focus on #polar systems. Including reviews of our knowledge on biodiversity in #Antarctica, & a (worrying) outlook to an #Arctic a 2.7° warmer world.

Fab-looking postdoc in biodiversity change with Julia Kemppinen at @helsinki.fi to work on plant-microclimate relationships: jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...

Boreal forests have been experiencing both gains and losses in recent decades. Liu et al show that boreal forest resilience is more sensitive to forest cover losses than to gains, indicating that functional declines due to forest loss outpace improvements following forest recovery. rdcu.be/d6T8l

📢New paper🚨Excited to share our new review paper in @plosclimate.org on Browning events in Arctic ecosystems! 🌿❄️ A wonderful collaboration, brilliantly led by @garethphoenix.bsky.social. 🌿@naturvetenskap.bsky.social @vetenskapsradet.bsky.social

🌿 Half a Century of Plant Community Changes in Non-Forest Habitats 🌿 Our new article in Global Change Biology, led by Klára Klinkovská, reveals how the plant species composition in treeless vegetation has changed over the last 50 years.

What is a #biome? 🌳🌲🌱 How can we delineate past, present and future biomes, despite the patchy and incomplete data we have on the distribution of nature on Earth? 🌍🌐 Our review 👉 doi.org/10.1002/ecm.... 🧪 #ecology #biogeography #paleoecology #climate #vegetation #FunctionalTraits

For ecologists wondering if their work ever has an impact on policy this looks like an interesting tool: policyprofiles.sagepub.com From a brief play, some of the policy docs are loosely defined, but it has some handy shortcuts (e.g. giving the pages in monster reports where citations are).🌏🧪

New paper from me + @lauradee.bsky.social on using causal inference methods and concepts in ecology! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... (1/5)

Temporal changes in taxon abundances are positively correlated but poorly predicted at the global scale https://nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ecog.07195 #TimeSeries #GlobalData #Taxonomy

Interesting paper in @peerj.bsky.social on biodiversity blindspots using @gbif.org data doi.org/10.7717/peer... "...many of the areas that appear ‘unexplored’ may be in countries whose collections are not digitized ... they don’t have metadata such as GPS coordinates" HT @nerdychristie.bsky.social

Nice blog post on our recent paper in #MEE featuring 🔟 practical guidelines for what, how, when, where to to capture #microclimate processes in the field & how to analyse, handle & store your data ⬇️ @jlembrechts.bsky.social @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social shorturl.at/23zwL

📖Published📖 Our new research article demonstrates how you might combine expert knowledge with causal diagrams and superpopulation models to mitigate geographic biases in biodiversity monitoring data 🌎 🧪 Read it here 👇 https://buff.ly/3C2ZKws

📢 We're recruiting for an exciting #PhD in #paleoecology "Montane mosaics in Scotland: understanding the past to inform the future". At University of St. Andrews + University of Aberdeen, #Corrour & Mar Lodge Estate. For more details (see ‘staff-led proposals’): www.st-andrews.ac.uk/geography-su...

Please spread the word as we have opened the call for @britishacademy.bsky.social International Fellowships which enable researchers to work for two years at a UK institution. If you fancy being away from your country right now this could be an option! www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/inte...

Tenure track job alert: Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), professor in Tropical Ecosystems and Conservation Biology cwfront.ulb.ac.be/greffe/modul...

Did we say 54 great events across Britain & Ireland to support the botanical community in 2025? That's not enough! So we just added 8 more. Check out our 62 great events here: bsbi.org/field-meetin... We hope to meet you at a field meeting, training workshop, webinar or conference this year!

Very excited to share my new paper, just out in Nature Reviews Biodiversity Global change refugia could shelter species from multiple threats @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🚨 Mosses on the spotlight ⬇️ We made the cover of the current issue of Journal of Ecology 😍🤩 for the last paper of Eva's PhD on the affinity of understory #plant species, including mosses, to #forest #microclimate buffering 🌳 Picture from Eva Gril @journalofecology.bsky.social shorturl.at/LVS7F

Super excited to chat about the challenges of working with trait data 🍃 on Jan 14 at the ECR seminar, hosted by @dittemch.bsky.social & @nadi-mi-ar.bsky.social . Presenting along @bjenquist.bsky.social & @nanitundra.bsky.social . Join us🌿! bit.ly/3Pqingy

🌱 Seminar on functional trait ecology 🌱 I'll be discussing my research on Arctic plant traits next 14 Jan at the ECR seminar organised by @dittemch.bsky.social & Nadine Artz. So excited to present alongside legends @bjenquist.bsky.social & @lacapary.bsky.social. Join us! forms.gle/gemqP82kQgpN...

❄️ Postdoc position in Arctic terrestrial ecology ❄️ If you're interested in Arctic plants, fieldwork and multi-site syntheses, please apply! You'd be replacing me and joining a lovely and dynamic team at University of Edinburgh. DM me with any questions! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Textbooks claim that the boreal region is species poor. This is FALSE. There is a tremendous amount of cryptic biodiversity in the moss and lichen species that literally blanket the north. We just need to slow down and respect the fairy forests.

The #Arctic flora and fauna are not only responding to #climate change - they also modulate the way ecosystems feed back to the climate system. Read more about how here: www.frontiersin.org/journals/env... @beestfloris.bsky.social @larsholst.bsky.social @jeep4x4.bsky.social @nordborn.bsky.social

🌿 We need to raise the profile of #bryophyte ecological research 🌿 (and also a bryophyte emoji!) In this opinion piece, we as a group of #ECRs outline barriers in bryophyte research and provide recommendations to overcome them across institutional levels & disciplines. doi.org/10.1016/j.ba...

🎄 Advent calendar for plant enthusiasts! With @vercakalnikova.bsky.social, we have gone through our photo archives and, quite unsurprisingly, found many alpine plants there. From now on, at least until Christmas, we will introduce one alpine plant species a day in this 🧵 ⏬⏬

Tree-planting in the Arctic can accelerate rather than decelerate climate warming 🌲 Check out our recent paper in Nature Geoscience superbly led by @jeep4x4.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (figure credit @laurabp.bsky.social)
