ČSPE - ekologie rovnou od zdroje. Informace o českém i světovém ekologickém výzkumu i o dění v ochraně přírody a v #ČSPE. Spravováno @birder158.bsky.social
🌍📈 David Storch et al. in Trends Ecol. Evol. apply equilibrium biodiversity theory to changes over the last 65 million years. Temperate regions are likely below equilibrium diversity, the tropics above it – and even more threatened than we thought.

🐦⛰️ What drives dramatic elevational shifts in avian roles within ecosystems? Korejs, @czsam00.bsky.social and colleagues link feeding specialisation to functional diversity along a continuous 200–3700 m rainforest gradient in Papua New Guinea.

🌱📉 At the Czech Ecological Society conference, David Storch showed that partitioning beta diversity into turnover & nestedness is mathematically ➗ and biologically 🔍 flawed. Only 3 key indices exist; any can be described by two.

Mathematically and biologically consistent framework for presence-absence pairwise indices
A large number of indices for presence-absence data that compare two assemblages have been proposed or reinvented. Interpretation of these indices varies across the literature, despite efforts for cla...

From our members contributions🌿Forest-steppe meadows are the most diverse grasslands in the world, with over 110 species per 10 m². Research by Jan Roleček and colleagues has shown their distribution in the Carpathian region, habitat conditions and maximum richness values. 👉 doi.org/10.1111/jbi....
Peri‐Carpathian Forest‐Steppe Grasslands: Distribution, Indicator Species and Extreme Species Richness
Aim We aim to refine the definition of peri-Carpathian forest-steppe grasslands, provide an updated distribution map, identify consensus indicator species and summarise data on their extreme species...

🌱Plants produce over 200,000 chemical compounds! 🌿 Research by Martin Volf shows that under harsh climates, plants adopt similar strategies, but against herbivores, they opt for chemical diversity. This shows how environment shapes plant chemical diversity

🇬🇧🌱Drought is reshaping lowland forest understory! @ceskaekologie.bsky.social member, Vojtěch Lanta, studied vegetation before and after drought, finding understory homogenization
🌳Conservation plans should address rapid climate and forest structure changes
