New paper published as a result of another great #sDiv working group: sTraitChange 💚
Led by Viktoriia Radchuk, an international collaboration shows phenological shifts in response to changing temperatures allow populations to remain stable or even increase in numbers.

Fantastic study on the adaptation of species populations on temperature changes, led by former #sDiv Postdoc Viktoriia Radchuk.
This is part of the #synthesis group @idiv-research.bsky.social www.idiv.de/straitchange & also shows how long it sometimes takes to finish complex studies.

Another way of reducing the massive unpaid workload in these processes is to decrease the length of proposal to focus on the most important parts (e.g. 5 (?) pages of state of the art isn't important).
