Explorers vs. followers: A behavioural approach to spatial bias correction in species distribution modelling In recent years, the increase in data availability through citizen science data collection has raised questions about the quality of this data. Specie…

📍Observer bias is a known challenge when modeling presence-only data, which many methods address. Using a virtual observer approach, we investigated and tailored observer bias correction of two main observer behaviours: explorers vs followers.

3 - 🤝▶️ A holistic predictive approach:
To understand and predict community change accurately, both climate and habitat drivers must be considered. This, in turn, avoids misrepresentations of the actual community dynamics

2 - ⚖️▶️ the challenge of context dependency.
Our goal was to understand not only how these environmental factors influence biodiversity, but also how their importance might shift depending on spatial locations and the species in question

Beyond the climate – climate change and habitat loss together alter species communities | Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences | University of Helsinki A study led by the University of Helsinki highlights the need to include both climate and habitat changes when assessing the state of biodiversity in Finland and globally.

Which one’s worse? — Our newest article highlights the dual pressure that #climate and #habitat change place on Finnish moth communities. 🦋🌍 @rececochange.bsky.social

Great discussions at our Seminar: Working Outside Academia!
Postdocs at Viikki campus (@helsinki.fi) heard from Heli Salmela (GSK), Pia Kinaret (Synlab), & Edward Kluen (Ramboll) about their journey from academia to industry: challenges, motivations & key advice.
Big thanks to all who joined! 🎉

Very interesting plenary session at #OikosFin23 great community ecology history and perspectives from Mathew Leibold 🤓

Starting up Oikos Finland 2025 conference with a great talk and deep conversations that are more than needed ! How does the scientist community can inform and how to make governements listen 🤔

Great turn out for our night of science satellite event for outreach 🥼 with amazing presenters from Viikki campus 🌿🐀💨🧲🦠 #viikkipostdocs @helsinkiuni.bsky.social
