Our review paper on heat-induced ecological debts is published in this month's issue of TREE.
It was a real achievement to put this together, I hope you enjoy it, and hopefully this inspires more research on heat extremes and ecological stability! 💪

Massive week starting our new soil microcosm experiment 🤘🏻 still lots of work to do, but looks pretty cool so far, right? 😉

Just received a rejected manuscript, but glad that we got very constructive and thorough reviews.
Unfortunately this is not always the case, so kudos to the reviewers for the great work!!

Fourth winter season counting birds in my hometown to finish off the year ✌🏻 Here one of the highlights, just spotted the peregrine falcon along with a group of griffon vultures. @elisendaperis.bsky.social

A remark from a referee ~40 yr back prompted this study. I launched it under the (later seen) wrong premise that it would last ~15 yr. But my marked plants lived much longer than anticipated, and it took me 38 yr to complete it. Here are the results. I defeated my plants in the race for survival.

Frozen shoots of Solidago canadensis in our experimental mesocoms 🥶
Any reason why this species is particularly impacted by frost? Any fitness consequences? (more vulnerable to pathogen infection? 🤔)

What is a species "shadow distribution"?
This infographic helps communicate "shadow distributions" with stakeholders and environmental managers.
We used species distribution models to quantify this conservation concept for Swiss fishes.

Group leaders! The uptake of this paper suggests to me that folk aren’t talking enough about experimental design with their students? Has experimental design fallen off the syllabus? Is a sense of experimental design like a sense of humour? Everyone thinks they have a good one but….?
I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Principles of experimental design for ecology and evolution
Here I argue that we do not discuss experimental design, often until it is too late. This editorial seeks to begin a conversation about how and where to replicate appropriately.
