Great opportunity at the @nhmdk.bsky.social ! Assistant Professor (tenure-track) and Curator of Bryophytes at the Natural History Museum of Denmark! Please share widely!
This year I have been selected as one of the ten @iasc-arctic.bsky.social International Arctic Science Committee Fellows! I’m really looking forward to being in the Terrestrial WG. As I look for my 1st Post-Doc, I am feeling well positioned to engage with the international Arctic research community!
Two advertisements for PhD projects in our group at @uni-konstanz.de, including one in my recently funded project on the role of soil biodiversity in plant responses to drought. Deadline on January 12th. Sharing would be appreciated! More info here: www.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/kleunen/news...
Apps to the MEME Mobility European MSc Prog. in Evolutionary Biology are open! The MEME program was fundamental in training, teaching, and inspiring me in research, exposing me to many projects, skillsets, and academic cultures. Check out our starter pack to meet some alumni!

Not a bad way to end my 20s and welcome in the next decade! Sitting on a cozy balcony in Trondheim, Norway surrounded by friends, reflecting on life, and watching the Northern Lights dance over the city.
It was a pleasure to attend and give a talk at the 39th meeting of the Scandinavian Association for Pollination Ecology, #SCAPE 2025, in Priego de Córdoba, Southern Spain.
Do you use R and the Barcode of Life Data (BOLD) Systems?
🎉 BOLDconnectR is now on CRAN!
BOLDconnectR makes it easy to retrieve, transform, and analyze BOLD data—all in the Barcode Core Data Model (BCDM) format.

Years ago during my BSc at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social I had the honour of meeting Dr. Jane Goodall, one of my greatest role models in conservation. She has inspired countless people in countless ways to become more engaged with the incredible diversity on our planet. She will be globally missed.

Your talk was exceptional!
It was a pleasure to attend the EcoNet2025: VII Symposium on Ecological Networks, hosted by the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences at Newcastle University, United Kingdom. My talk was titled ‘Tundra in Bloom: Pollination Network Properties Across (Southwestern) Kalaallit Nunaat Greenland’.
Publication alert 🚨 doi.org/10.1111/mec.... Our new study in Molecular Ecology shows dwarf birch genetic diversity has been shaped by shifting ice sheets and climate transitions over the last 2.6 million years. This history may hold clues to how tundra shrubs face today’s rapid climate change ❄️🌱🧬🌡️

In the dead of night, the podocarp forest of Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne is full of the piercing calls of Kiwi Pukupuku little spotted kiwis (Apteryx owenii) emerging from their burrows. We were very lucky to get to see 3! While only 2100 individuals remain, protected populations are slowly growing.
Their population growth at sites like these is a major success story in the often stark realities of the conservation world, and offers hopeful and evidence based results to the value of conservation work.
Today there are an estimated 10,000 Kākā, most of which thrive on offshore islands around the mainland where no predators have reached (or where they have been eradicated), and some now on the mainland in and around key predator exclusion sites like the Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne Eco-Sanctuary.
While predation by invasive mammal (especially stoat) and land use change significantly reduced their population size, the species has shown remarkable recoverability when mammals are excluded from their habitat.
The Kākā (Nestor meridionalis) is one of mainland Aotearoa New Zealand’s three endemic parrots.They are critical pollinators of endemic plant species such as Kōwhai and Rātā. With their beaks, they also strip bark off trees to access grubs, or to tap into rich sap resources in some tree species.
