📢New paper from our FOX experiment on how #forest structure affects #carrion removal by #scavengers: Carrion vanishes fast in both gaps & closed forest, and removal rates are similar. But scavenger communities differ, suggesting functional redundancy.🦊🦅

As the mean rate of forest disturbance is increasing, so does its temporal variance. Proof that Taylor's law also applies to disturbance ecology, and a warning of more severe future extremes. Paper led by @corneliussenf.bsky.social w/ @tommaso-jucker.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Taylor’s law predicts unprecedented pulses of forest disturbance under global change - Nature Communications
Large pulses of disturbance have been observed globally in response to climate change. Using Taylor’s Law, the authors show that those pulses were not unpredictable but expected given a strong scaling...

Setting forests aside doesn’t stir up more trouble—in fact, it calms the chaos 🌳
Happy to see my first PhD chapter out! 📝
Setting aside forests for biodiversity conservation does NOT amplify disturbances in temperate forests of Central Europe.

Setting aside areas for conservation does not increase disturbances in temperate forests
We found no evidence that setting aside forests for biodiversity conservation amplifies disturbances in temperate forests of Central Europe. Conversely, we found that strict forest reserves had lower...
