🌲 Boreal-tundra species drive Arctic plant borealization 🌲
Our new study in #EcologyLetters quantifies tundra plant borealization, assesses its main drivers and identifies the species & traits contributing to borealization.

Herbarium specimens reveal drivers of Arctic shrub growth @newphyt.bsky.social
Shrub specimens can be used to recreate annual growth chronologies and help understand plant responses to global change.

🌸Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic 🌸
Our new study @nature.com analysed plant diversity change in >2000 tundra plots over 4 decades. We found that plants changed unevenly, mostly driven by warming and biotic interactions.

For the polyploid fans AND the pollinator fans out there, some thoughts on polyploid establishment 🐝🪰🌿🌱
I've put together this Starter Pack because I still miss connecting with many Arctic colleagues on this platform. Apologies if I missed adding some of you, but you're all welcome to join!

Extended deadline to January 7. Come join us in Gothenburg! 🤩

I completely agree on the magic of a hot beverage! Even better if freshly made. A cup of soup also sounds like a great idea.
Just for fun 😊 We compiled some of our favorite #fieldwork “life hacks”. What are we missing? edge-ecology.com/blog/
🎄 Advent calendar for plant enthusiasts!
With @vercakalnikova.bsky.social, we have gone through our photo archives and, quite unsurprisingly, found many alpine plants there. From now on, at least until Christmas, we will introduce one alpine plant species a day in this 🧵

65 years ago, on 1/12/59, 12 countries (now 67) signed the Antarctic Treaty, declaring that "Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only". Despite being a sanctuary devoted to science, global change is threatening Antarctic ecosystems, and the situation is even worst at the Arctic. (1/2)

Would love to join, thanks! scholar.google.co.uk/citations?us...
Let me guess, you have another new project idea 😉
Just visited Tromsø for the first time and all I can say is 🤩🤩🤩 #Arctic
New to Bluesky? Interested in trait-based ecology? evolution?Want papers and discussions in one feed ? Good news! First, link your posts with the hashtag(s) #trait, #traits, #FunctionalTraits or the emojis for 'measure ' 🧮➕📏 ' Second, pin the feed to your account bsky.app/profile/did:... easy! 🌎🧪🌾
I created a feed for trait-based ecology and evolution to capture posts with the hashtag #trait #traits #FunctionalTraits. or use the emojis for 'measure' 🧮➕📏 . Discussion and research by scientists advancing trait-based approaches in ecology and evolution. bsky.app/profile/did:...
We are looking for a research assistant to join the EDGE lab (edge-ecology.com) here in Gothenburg 🇸🇪 for the next 2 years. A great team and lots of exciting research to be a part of! 🌱🌍🌡️❄️ Please apply or share 🙏 #ecology #job
Here is a starter pack for scientists and others interested in trait-based ecology and evolution. Still trying to find everyone here. Please let me know if you would like to be added to the list! go.bsky.app/PThMXeX 🧪🌎🌾
We came out of the #CBD #nature #COP16 with way too much still to be done. As we are now going into #UNFCCC #climate #COP29, this read offers a great overview over the state of affairs, things at stake, and opportunities going forward tackling the two global crises.
