Awesome paper lead by @cmlmagneville.bsky.social about current and past drivers of biodiversity 🔢🧬📐 from @integradiv.bsky.social ( @biodiversa.eu ).

I was lucky enough to be able to take part!
Happy to see our paper out! 🎉
We assess the relative roles of past/present environmental & anthropogenic drivers shaping functional & phylogenetic diversity in Mediterranean forests, highlighting the key role of past climate stability 🌳

My time in Amsterdam @ivm-vu-amsterdam.bsky.social has come to an end.

The last two and a half years have been a time of learning, connecting, and growth.

Thank @peterverburg11.bsky.social for the amazing opportunity and special thank @riva-ecology.bsky.social for everything you taught me.
You can already watch INTEGRADIV (@biodiversa.eu) Stakeholders’ Final Event!

We shared key project results + an interactive prioritization tool to support biodiversity decision-making.

Cool paper and cool 'behind the paper'!
"Understanding leaf variability within tree species" 🍃🌿🍂

I wrote a "behind the paper" post talking about our recent paper in @natcomms.nature.com
communities.springernature.com/posts/unders...
Understanding leaf variability within tree species
Leaf diversity arises from differences among species, but also from differences within species and even within the same crown. In a recent study, we show how intraspecific and intraindividual trait va...
