In this game, the player needs to balance nature conservation with socioeconomic pressures. A great collaboration with the games engineers led by my former student Daniel Vedder!

Components of the game’s social-ecological model. The landscape consists of hexagonal tiles, each of which have an associated biodiversity and productivity value. The combined biodiversity and productivity values of the entire landscape determine the player’s available budget as well as their approval ratings in the population. Stochastic events may influence certain parts of the game world, while laws and investments can be used by the player to influence game mechanics.

Spain's fire-ridden summer 2025 sparked big debates about how forests are managed. Now new research in @jappliedecology.bsky.social shows that pine plantations in Spain can increase fire severity, that post-fire recovery is rare, & but that tree density management can help tinyurl.com/mf33xrt8
The legacy of pine plantations on fire severity
Our findings provide quantitative evidence that pine plantations can exacerbate fire severity under contemporary climate conditions, and that, once burned, these areas seldom recover. Effective spati....

Huge congratulations to Andrés Baselga, who has just been promoted to Full Professor of Zoology at Univ. Santiago de Compostela @usc.gal

Yesterday we enjoyed his talk - from collecting beetles as a teen to developing methods for studying biodiversity.

An extension of joint SDM to jointly model species abundances and intraspecific trait variation. #ecopubs @esajournals.bsky.social

doi.org/10.1002/ecy....
Joint species-trait distribution modeling: The role of intraspecific trait variation in community assembly The links between intraspecific trait variation and community assembly remain little studied, partially due to the lack of statistical methods to jointly model intraspecific trait variation and species abundances at the community level. Here, we extend the joint species distribution modeling (JSDM) framework into the joint species-trait distribution modeling (JSTDM) framework to explicitly link species abundances to phenotypic variation in traits for multiple species simultaneously. Using a case study of 65 tundra plant species abundances and 3 key functional traits measured across 325 sites, we show how the JSTDM approach (1) estimates the statistical associations among species abundances, species-level traits, and site-level traits, relative to environmental variation; (2) improves predictions on trait variation by using information on species abundances; and (3) generates hypotheses about trait-driven community assembly mechanisms. The JSTDM methodology presented in this study allows assessing the interplay between species abundances and traits at the community level, providing the much needed modeling tools to quantify the role of phenotypic trait variation in eco-evolutionary community assembly.

Fresh off the press! Our perspective in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com discusses the wealth of information on biodiversity contained in historical sources, and its integration for long-term ecological knowledge and biodiversity conservation. A thread on the paper and what led to it:

Punctuated equilibrium, a concept introduced by paleontologists in 1972, reimagines evolution’s tempo as a stochastic burst rather than a steady beat. A new model finds support for their theory in both molecular and fossil data. @jakebuehler.bsky.social reports www.quantamagazine.org/the-sudden-s...

Fine spatio-temporal climate data are crucial to reconstruct past biodiversity patterns and predict future biodiversity responses, among other global challenges. Here, we present both useful software (R package) and a downscaled dataset of monthly climate data.
