Why relying on the "equlilibrium assumption", i.e., biodiversity being in an equilibrium state w/ its environmental conditions, to model biodiversity changes?

➡️ We propose a paradigm shift: embracing the quasi-permanent non-equilibrium state 🤯

"The present situation is a clear, unequivocal example of linguistic injustice
All costs of having a common language in science are borne by non-native English-speaking scientists, implying unfair cooperation in obtaining a common good (a common language)"

This new study find out how sensitive presence-absence predictions of species distribution models are to the choice of the binarisation threshold

**NEW DATABASE** - and it's a big one: BioTIME 2.0 is out!

I'll guide you through why this database is a game changer for anyone interested in species on the move

🔥🏔 species redistribution

We found limited evidence, so far, for the #escalator to #extinction despite climate-driven upslope range shifts 🌡📈

In response to climate change #CC, #species #shift in many dimensions, moving in space along many climatic clines, including #microclimatic ones (horizontally & vertically) & adjusting their #phenology & #behaviour in time, see our opinion paper just published @Trends_Ecol_Evo

What happens belowground when a mountain road cuts through nature?

After epic fieldwork, root sequencing & modeling marathons, we found: roads unravel fungal interaction networks—fewer links and more generalists.

🌳 New findings 🌳

Phylogenetic diversity cannot be used as a proxy for functional diversity in vascular plant communities 🌲🌳🌴🌵🌱🍀🌾🌼 We used the #sPlot database & found a pronounced decoupling between phylogenetic & functional diversity

See our results @JVegSci ⬇️ Our findings based on a EU dataset suggest that small semi-natural habitats like tree lines, unused field margins and hedgerows enhance the potential dispersal of forest specialist plant species across agricultural landscapes

From field ecology to molecular ecology

[Martin A. Nuñez @Martin_A_Nunez]

Climate Change is a huge problem
Invasive species are a huge problem

We should not fight Climate Change by promoting invasion!
In most places it is a BAD idea

Not spatial resolution, not temporal resolution, but climate proximity is what matters. Indeed, in a new paper we show a 247% (!) improvement in ecological model performance using proximal microclimate data.

I break this concept down for you here ⬇️

Show me the metadata—

Journals must enforce transparent reporting of metadata associated with biological samples or face the wrath of post-publication peer-reviewers. https://t.co/y62R0CG1wL

Honestly being a PhD student at a conference can feel like this sometimes
