Key @BioGeoMacro paper on our research on functional island biogeography published today @nature

[Holger Kreft @BioGeoKreft]

Hot off the press @nature:
Assembly of functional diversity in an oceanic island flora
Team effort led by @Paola_barbarbo
We present a detailed analysis of plant functional traits & diversity of an entire oceanic flora, #Tenerife, Canary Islands. https://t.co/INM53KC7Qx

❗️Paper alert: Global assessment of diversity, endemism, threat & conservation of island plants 🌴🏝️
Key result: 31% of spp native / 21% endemic to islands, island endemics disproportionately threatened by extinction, islands insufficiently protected 🧵/1

Pressemitteilung zu unserer aktuellen @NatureEcoEvo Studie zum Einfluss von #Klimawandel auf Ökosysteme:
Kernergebnis: 33-68% d. Landoberfläche werden bis 2070 eine signifikante Veränderung des Phytoklimas - also Art und Weise wie Klima Vegetation beeinflusst - erfahren.

[Nature Communications @NatureComms]

Plant invasion and naturalisation threaten native biodiversity. Guo et al. conduct a global multi-factor and multi-stage analysis, showing that genome size and economic factors influence plant invasion and naturalisation.

Very happy and proud to see this paper put. Many thanks @TimoConradi for leading this important study.

Biogeographic context mediates multifaceted diversity-productivity relationships in island and mainland forests
@JEcology

[Maria Laura Tolmos @mltolmos]

Our newest study is out in @JEcology: Phylo diversity contributes to elucidate BEF relationships in mainland and island #forests. While non-native #tree sp increased productivity on islands, revealing how biogeographic context can shape BEF relationships https://t.co/Aj0xxeoerP

It is nearly impossible for us to fathom how quickly species are disappearing, @carlsafina said. “And so the endeavour of stopping this crisis becomes more of a religious kind of experience than a scientific one, in a sense, more moral than practical.” https://t.co/ZqhiBMcl0Y

[Dylan Craven @DylanJCraven]

Best news of the year - @mltolmos just had her second PhD chapter accepted!!! Stay tuned for an awesome paper on B-EF on islands @BioGeoKreft @multivac42 @NathalyR_GR @Paola_barbarbo #OrgulloDeSupervisor

[Gustavo Paterno @paternogb]

I am happy to share our new study (preprint at @biorxivpreprint). We used a large-scale restoration experiment (EFForTS-BEE) to investigate local and landscape drivers of natural regeneration within an industrial oil palm plantation in Sumatra: https://t.co/QQLvFIq4YJ (1/4)

📢Interested in mountain biodiversity🌳🏔️& ever wondered what determines species' elevational distributions?
