In this study, we developed a new method, thermal distribution curves, and show that impacts of future climate warming on the extinction risks of plants are higher in the tropics/subtropics and drylands than in temperate regions. https://t.co/yeb0mGBRNO
Very excited to share my second new paper published in Ecography recently @EcographyJourna Thanks to my supervisor Prof. Zhiheng Wang @zwang2013. I expect other unpublished new papers and hope everything will be successful in the future. https://t.co/ounY6FqCkU
In this new paper, we identified the threatened plant species and the priority areas for conservation of plant diversity under future climate and land-cover changes in China.

My new paper published in Journal of Applied Ecology @JAppliedEcology Thanks to the handling editor and all the reviewers. Also thanks to my supervisor Prof. Zhiheng Wang @zwang2013 and all the collaborators Prof. Jian Zhang @jzhang1982. https://t.co/kUS1gJyu5W
Characteristics of the naturalized flora of Southern Africa largely reflect the non-random introduction of alien species for cultivation https://t.co/aerovKTW14
Functional redundancy of non-volant small mammals increases in human-modified habitats: A larger richness in human-modified habitats does not result in larger functional diversity.

In searching for the earliest mention in the **ecological** literature of population models with environmental stochasticity, I found this great 1957 quote of Andrewartha. Aside from this quote and his 1954 book with Birch, do you know of any earlier relevant quotes/references?
Modelling the long-term dynamics of tropical forests: From leaf traits to whole-tree growth patterns
-trait-based 3D forest model
-individual trees growth emerges from leaf traits
-simulates structurally realistic forests over long time spans

Are you looking for climate data to assess the impact of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystems? Our 4 datasets covering a wealth [30 TerraByte!] of bio-climate indicators are now freely accessible in the Copernicus Climate Data Store. 👇👇👇
Wow…this is one of the most lucid and brilliant articles I have read in years on nature conservation and management. Stephen T. Jackson you nailed it https://t.co/tlCZiPwj6E @ScienceMagazine
It would be so compelling if a 100 environment journals came together to call for urgent action on the biodiversity and climate crises

We also show that threats don’t often overlap with very few ‘hotspots’ across taxa and threats - meaning that to respond to the current biodiversity crisis of the Anthropocene we cannot single out specific locations or single approaches but need varied and broad approaches (6/9)
Climate change may have significantly influence the elevational distribution of plants in one of global biodiversity hotspots
