Truly honoured to have received this PhD award from my university @upjv-univ.bsky.social. For sure I have been very fortunate with my supervisors and the team I have worked with 🌱
Merci Jonathan !!
I am so proud of you Eva 🤩🎉🎊👏 This thesis award from #UPJV is so well deserved 👍 You make forest microclimates shine at multiple levels 🌳🌳🌲🌲

Toward a global repository of insect traits (GRIT)

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.

Fair point too. I’m minded though that we more & more will have to consider introductions as climate change takes hold

Trophic rewilding depends on the assumption that replacing lost megafauna with alternative species can generate similar benefits. This new review by Bescond-Michel et al. challenges that belief. 🌏🌐🧪
Harms of introduced large herbivores outweigh benefits to native biodiversity - Nature Communications
Using impact assessment frameworks, this study shows that the introduction of large mammalian herbivores outside their native range has predominantly caused negative impacts on native biodiversity globally. The authors advise caution regarding their further intentional introduction for conservation purposes.

Interested in #alien species - check our graduated framework for #nativeness here 🌿🌐 #invasivespecies #nonnative
Nativeness cannot be binary, if is to make sense and be practically applicable at the scale of countries.
We propose a graduated definition, in which species native to neighbouring territories are considered "near-native"

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species
Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic na...

Who said that biogeography is necessarily a correlative science? This is the way to do ecological experiments with a biogeographical perspective. Read this nice thread about a superb #functionalbiogeography work (spoiler: they find regional variations and habitat effects in antipredation traits)🧪🌐

Plants cool the land through evapotranspiration, but green foliage can absorb more heat than lighter surfaces, causing warming. A study finds that in the northern hemisphere, cooling outweighs warming until the end of the growing season. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
