In our new article led by Gabriele Midolo, published in Ecology Letters, we show that plant species richness in European plant communities generally decreased between the 1960s and 1980s. However, since the 1990s, this trend seems to have stopped or even reversed.

I'm currently at the #LivingData2025 conference in Bogotá with @flograttarola.bsky.social
I am presenting EcoParse - a species-level data extraction app.

Flo is presenting our project #RegRed focused on collecting regional redlist data from all over the world!

🚨 Excited to share our new research! 🚨

We tackle a big question in conservation: how can we make smarter use of existing surveys to learn about places and species we haven’t yet been able to survey? 🏔️

La semana pasada estuve en Montevideo (🫶🏼🇺🇾) para participar del Explorer Leadership Workshop organizado por la National Geographic. Compartí días con gente increíble y tuve la oportunidad de reencontrarme con mi misma. Fueron días muy introspectivos, de mucho aprendizaje y cariño. Muy agradecida!

This #MarDelPlataCanyon seastar, despite all the obvious signs, does not have a big butt. The animal does resemble the famous SpongeBob character, Patrick Star.

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off
In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,
