🌎 Experiments are central to understanding community dynamics, yet their use is declining.
We're trying to understand why.
If you work in community ecology, we'd really appreciate your input in a quick survey (<5 mins).

Check out our new preprint. In this review we show the comparative decline of experimental approaches in community ecology and discuss some alternatives to push the field forward

Academy Research Fellow Minna Hiltunen aims to reconstruct what Finland’s lakes were like before browning of waters alarmingly accelerated decades ago. With a unique paleolimnological research method she will is analyze the resting eggs of water fleas buried within the sediments.

We enjoyed ending #OIKOSFin2025 with an academic writing workshop by Marc Abernathy and Carlos Aguilar! And if you’re now wondering how to get your newly improved paper published, did you know that the NSO can give publishing workshops and insights on our very own journals? 🤩

#OIKOSFin2025 participants enjoying the outdoors around Jyväskylä in one of the 3 (!) conference fieldtrips
The last day's program included three outdoor trips into the nature. I went with the group to the Hyppäänvuori natire trail with impressive landscapes and massive, old pine tree

Jenna Rönttinen presenting her poster at #OIKOSFin2025 !
Her work focused on the effects of landscape clearcut accumulation over time on Finnish breeding birds. 🐦 One of main results is that old-growth forest specialists are not affected by short term but 📉 due to 20 yrs accumulation!
Stay tuned 🦉

🚨New paper🚨
We studied how traits & eco. specialisations of forest birds species 🦉 have affected their abundances and distributions in Europe over the last 40 yrs.
Among others, we found a significant 📉 of boreal species, especially the ones related to mixed forests. 🌳🌲
